GDT #3 - Aug 6, 8pm, SN - Hammer Down

[mbow30]

Austons gonna score, though

 

[MindzEye]

This 3rd period is exactly why this team is not top tier

Game was entirely under control until a 40 foot wrister from the half boards went in. I'll agree that the kids lack championship composure at this point, but the point of a veteran goalie (nevermind one with his reputation) is to not be the reason the kids are put under undue pressure.

 

[LeafGm]

Brutal pinch by Dermott, but that’s two soft goals by Freddie tonight.

 

[zeke]

we've been great defensively, of course.

Freddy sure knows how to unclutch it tho.

 

[SundinsTooth]

Well we chased their goalie and then mustered 3 or 4 shots...they gotta stop being so scared. Getting schooled now.

 

[MindzEye]

5 high danger chances against tonight.

not the best goal, but the Leafs suddenly lost their interest in skating and winning puck battles. Reminds me of the Pens the other night when they allowed the moribund Habs back in the game

 

[Preston]

Marincin with holl now. Zeke is right about usage. Nerds love him but I haven't particularly been in love with dermott when he gets top four minutes.

No...we really haven’t. We haven’t looked good since goalie change. Not like a heap of danger - but asking for it when making bad plays with puck

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Fred has an uncanny ability to not make a save when his team comes apart even a little. Then avoids mainstream blame

 

[Jeremy]

Does the Apple Watch tell time?

Sure, CBJ had a few decent shifts back to back...but what was the best chance from the zone time and the pressure? It ended up in the back of the net and it wasn't what most would call a scoring chance. There are going to be momentum swings in a game, not giving up high quality chances during those stretches is the name of the game.

 

[Killer93]

Not interested in winning I guess

 

[MindzEye]

Big save Freddy

 

[blkngldbabe]

I feel a wee bit of vomit creeping up

 

[Preston]

This is a damn heroic performance by Dubois. He's a great player.

 

[MindzEye]

and then Elvis makes one

 

[mbow30]

Ya Willy looked silly before that goal and Jjst a brutal pinch by dermott.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

This is a damn heroic performance by Dubois. He's a great player.

Coutourier 2.0

I really dig Dubois too

 

[Volcanologist]

we're getting closer, but the team needs more leadership. we still buckle when shit goes against us. It's always easier to play when everything is going your way.
