Morrison7 8,910 Report post Posted January 21 (edited) Not sure if anyone deserves major blame for that goal as it was a snipe, but the Leafs have several forwards better than Keller and need one or more of them to step the fuck up.

Armster 21,860 Report post Posted January 21 Skating like we're stuck in quicksand and boning up anything defense. This is not a good team right now. Needs to be figured out ASAP cuz this shit is painful to watch. 1 Helianthus reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loxcane 11,888 Report post Posted January 21 Fuck, shut up Millen. Penalties don’t have to be intentional. If you trip someone it’s a penalty. Dumbass. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well our powerplay unit isn't very tough to predict, Marner passes it to Rielly, back to Marner, Marner with a slap pass to Matthews that doesn't make it or Marner shoots the puck on net lightly in hopes of Tavares tipping the puck yet the goalie easily saves it and covers the puck...

It doesn't exactly help they don't really move around either. They're pretty stationary aside from moving along the sideboards to make the pass.

If there was a love button, it would of been hit instead. I really hate that micro managing shit. Iy has it's time and place, but not all the time. Players who we know that can make or be the difference sometimes are called to the bench just because of a stop watch and sometimes it just takes away momentums. But ya, even when he did actually throw Matthews, JT and Marner out there, our chances to score were instantly better. Maybe sometimes he should micromanage himself and re-think his insistent ways. 1 Armster reacted to this Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed. He's as student of the game, smart, and overall has a positive impact but he needs to chill the fuck out sometimes and stop out-coaching himself. That's how I view it anyways.

Part of the issue is that we are unable to use the point for shots. Neither Rielly nor Gardiner are even average at putting shots through on goal. Pretty easy to collapse down low and wait for one of the shooters from the circle in to take their chance. Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
