Playoffs GDT #6 MAY 29 7:30 - Stop Playing With Your Food

[mbow30]

The rich boys on the team have been a no show, thats plain for everyone to see. But WTF is Derrmot doing? Talk about about a bonehead play from a guy who should know better. He looked worse then Jake Gardiner out there.

​

no choice but to go with martin marincin in game 7

 

[MindzEye]

I catch heat for saying this, but Marner can go if someone is willing to blow their brains out for him.

 

[mbow30]

Keefe admits his conviction wasn’t particularly high on the challenge. So not a great call IMO but probably harmless without Marner’s brain fart

it was a dumb challenge given the consequence. b2b PKs is not a spot you want to be in.

and that wasn't close. like... if they called that back... i would have been angry.

 

[MindzEye]

Definitely stoppable. But not necessarily weak.

and a much harder stop to make than the one Jack let in. Not weak, definitely stoppable. Jack's was weak.

[Neurospasm]

Marner looks extremely scared of contact when he’s out there.

Making a panic move like that after you go down 1 goal is a bad look.

at this point anybody can.

but, yeah, if they don't get to out of the north this year you've got to shop marner.

love the guy but he wilts like a t1000 in molten.

 

[Neurospasm]

Yeah I saw that real time and was yelling at the screen. Par for the game.

 

[MindzEye]

It's the playoffs, the rules don't mean anything in this fucking bush league. 5K fine because he's not Nazem Kadri and let's keep it moving.

 

[mbow30]

mikky also took a high hit right before the goal.

 

[Neurospasm]

What is the point of the fines? They never amount to anything that would actually affect an NHL player.

 

[mbow30]

but at the end of the day eff the excuses.

if marner or matthews managed to pot their... 2nd combined goal of the series... in the 75 minutes preceding the goal then none of this other shit matters.

 

[Jeremy]

We lost two OT games in a row, the series could easily be over. All we need is a win against a beatable team on Monday.

 

[hockeylover]

Yeahhhhh that’s an issue.

 

[Neurospasm]

Not that any of us here have said it but what a surprise, Nylander is not the problem.

 

[mbow30]

yeah, the issue isn't that they loaded up their cap on 4 guys.

it's that their two best players have combined for 1 goal and 8 points through 6 games.

 

[mbow30]

pretty telling that in b2b years the only guy who 'got it' in crunch time and played like he had shaq's dong is spezza.

 

[Volcanologist]

Not that any of us here have said it but what a surprise, Nylander is not the problem.

yeah but our of the top 4 guys he's the only one who is realistically movable.

you're not trading Auston Matthews. you're not getting value for Mitch Marner this offseason at 11 sheets. you dont' think other GMs watch the playoffs?? And you're not trading Tavares(he wouldn't agree to it anyway).

Not all watching, Dubas doesn't for sure
