GDT - Game 3, Round 1 - Pat Maroon is Fat

[Preston]

Not unbelievably. Previous years, definitely. This year he's been very good, but not his usual otherworldly defensive stud.

Might have been his best year tbh

 

[zeke]

plugging along under 40% on the nerdies. not gonna do it.

Nope.

 

[Killer93]

The Leafs need Pierre Engvall

 

[leaffan2005]

Papi has to have a big period here. Despite his goal he has been largely invisible.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

It's all of them. It's weird how all 5 go quiet at the same time, instead of just a couple of them.

 

[Preston]

They just have to nut up. They've been horse shit all night but have a dominant 3rd period and it's all forgotten. Another sluggish period and I become an emotional bitch again and jump off the zen bandwagon. This game feels way more telling than the clusterfuck in game 1 that I just considered a write off and threw in the trash.

[zeke]

might want to move ROR in between JT and Willy so you're less hesitant to put the Tavares line out there.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

These fucking forwards need to basically forget about defense. Come back, but keep your focus on the other end.

They're too good offensively to limit themselves by being too defensive minded. Fuck it already, get the goals and try to end up with more of them than the other team.

 

[Preston]

Rielly 1.18 xga through 2 periods is some stat line. But he's still driving more offense than basically anyone else on the team so you've gotta keep playing him.

 

[Kritter]

Would be nice if we had a coach that could at least somewhat counter whatever effect the opposition is doing to negate our star players

 

[zeke]

diving bitch. finally the refs don't get suckered.

But please stop putting him and Schenn on the ice vs Stamkos. Too many times now and not due to the last change.

 

[MindzEye]

Kerfoot is useless in a physical series with no skating room

Yeah he has to be the scratch when bunting returns. He's adding nothing. He's just kind of there.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

No they didn't double up Marner. Seems like the flipped him and Nylander.

 

[zeke]

we better get a PP

 

[zeke]

milking little bitch

 

[LeafOfFaith]

That has to be ONE penalty - on Kuch, that's it. Fuck you refs if you give us one.
