GDT: Sabres @ Maple Leafs @ 7:30pm EST

[CH1]

I did not have Alex Tuch sniping as often as Matthews on my bingo card

 

[LeafOfFaith]

If you can't score on a 2 on 0, you shouldn't have bothered playing tonight.

 

[Artnes]

Hard to have much faith in Murray at the moment

 

[Preston]

Mvp tonight goes to Lafferty. 0xgf, 1.04 xga. I don't recall too many lines that look like that. That's nearly impossible to accomplish.

 

[Artnes]

JT gotta be selfish there and shoot

Tough to say that on a 2-0. You always have to pass, but the play should've been Bunting going back to Tavares. He shouldn't have shot that. move Anderson back and forth.

 

[zeke]

New gritty defensive Leafs giving up 4 goals per game since the deadline.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

yeah but we added all that scoring, remember?

 

[axlsalinger]

"Not over yet" - Willy Nylander

 

[Preston]

Unbelievable

 

[LeafOfFaith]

One more.

 

[Preston]

Ah fuck willy you can't miss the net there

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Rielly is such an idiot. Trade this dumbass.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

10 seconds to go and he tries a hail mary pass instead of just skating it up and passing it off for one last rush.

 

[mbow30]

Rielly always gets too aggressive cutting to the middle when the leafs are pressing and then isn’t on the wall for the keep in.

 

[Preston]

Well it's been a few games now so I'll say that I've liked Acciari. I think Lafferty is garbage and McCabe doesn't seem to be great either, though he did better tonight in easier minutes.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

This team just doesn't want it. You can see the Core 4 are dead out there, but there's no one else to turn to. And then you have Murray back there giving up garbage, and the weight of it is too much every night.

Imagine if they traded Rielly for a real LW making big money, and then just played Sandin in his spot. We'd have been miles ahead.

The core 4 have been absolutely incredible lately. They are not the problem.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

This is just too clearly going down the path to doom. I just can't imagine this configuration pulling out 4 wins against a beast like Boston or TB. They seem to lack structure and cohesion entirely since those last trades. Maybe if ROR comes back and the lines get settled back into 12-6, things will be better, but they're draining me of optimism.

I'm saying, they've done it all, but they can't just keep filling the net all game long every game. We needed a fucking core 5, and I'd count ROR as a 3C, so he's not it. Instead they went and jumbled up their depth for no reason, and spent their time getting McCabe instead of Meier.
