GDT: Leafs @ Islanders, 6 PM

[Aberdeen]

That was a good baiting by Martin.

 

[MindzEye]

I would like a guy that can play top 6 and punch faces.

I don't think they really exist anymore.

There's Lucic...and Lucic.

 

[BeLeafer]

Kadri punches faces.

 

[mbow30]

heh, so cute. You'll see a lot less defensive issues with that line now but yea it's because they'll work harder not because Mitch(as much as he does try) just doesn't engage in anything physical along the wall(kinda what happened with Phil too).

what about the defensive issues on that second goal where bozak just didn't pikc up his man and turned it into a 2 on 1 down low?

marner is 19 and not particularly big and will have his dzone struggles. but he wasn't the problem on that line. bozaks lines have always had issues getting hemmed in their own zone. no matter who he plays with.

 

[BeLeafer]

The scoring drought should end soon. Only a matter of time, especially now that Babs has put Marner with Kadri.

 

[BKerr]

Yup

Nick Ritchie might become that type of player, but he's still got a ways to go.

Put Rielly on the PP already. Even if he doesn't have a slapper atleast he can keep the puck moving and is pretty good at sneaking in from the point. Carrick is not qb and everytime Gardiner gets the puck at the point I just think "cool well hopefully we get it back after it's blocked"

 

[Killer93]

The time is now to unload Bozak and JVR

I don't think Gardiner's looked that great tonight. Sloppy.

I don't think Gardiner's looked that great tonight. Sloppy.

Pairing him with Polak ... suddenly not looking so great.

 

[hockeylover]

What can you get for a JVR?

Thats even more reason i would want one. Other teams have a hard time matching up against that type of player. Hell even a true power forward would be nice. JVR is a tall pussy. I hope he scores a few more goals to boost his value before the deadline.

 

[Killer93]

Can JVR land us a top 4 d-man? Bozak I would take picks/prospects

 

[zeke]

boom.

nice screen.

I think he's thrown the puck away a couple times and I'm not sure how that'd be on Polak.

And of course he scores as I'm talking.

 

[Leafin']

Shocking development that Gardiner gets paired with Polak and looks shit defensively. Nice shot on the PP though!

JVR, Bozak, Polak, Komarov can be booted out of here.

 

[BeLeafer]

NIce. Need the early goal.

Idiot

Probably, but at minimum 1st and a kid.
