Devils @ Maple Leafs - Nov. 17th, 7:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

[ZBBM]

In my book both NJ goals were really good shots.  Murray's been our best player so far.

Our D looks terrible.

I'm not a fan of our D at all but think the offence is becoming a concern.

It is.  Let's face it, Matthews isn't his usual self, and it all flows from that.

 

[ZBBM]

I know there was scoffing at the Klingberg but the lack fo any offensive production from the defense is a problem

I was thinking exactly the same thing.

 

[L K]

Defense o holds the puck too long.  Tries to needle a stretch pass.  Turns it over.  New Jersey puts pressure.

STOP DOING THE SAME INEFFECTIVE PLAY

 

[louisstamos]

The New Jersey forecheck is so good.

 

[L K]

That crosscheck was soft too.

 

[ZBBM]

Well, this is likely our last PP opp.

Since we've got crickets going on 5/5, we'd be advised to score.

Ya he isn't but the whole team offence isn't anywhere what it has been in previous years. Can't put it all on Matthews the other lines have to pick it up as well. They just don't seem to have it offensively.

STALE

 

[L K]

We need a guy who can shoot to tee place Rielly on the point.  Teams are cheating so hard on Matthews and we do nothing with the space up at the point because z Rielly just passes back and forth with Nylander/Marner on the half boards

I'd try Liljegren there,  For awhile I would have said Sandin, he seemed to have a knack for getting wristers through to the net, but we could use a bombthrower.

Agreed. When Matthews is playing at his best he puts the wind in everybodys sails. We?re also missing 2 of our 3 top D-men. That?s making a difference out there too.

 

[Bender]

They're playing such a perimeter game.

 

[Bender]

As much as I felt Murray went down early on one goal, he really hasn't been the problem tonight. Devils are stifling.

Good point, they miss Muzz but they really miss Brodie.

 

[L K]

Gave up a 3 on 1 without even creating a legit chance.  This third period effort is not good.  New Jersey looks way better

 

[ZBBM]

I think we can retire the Marner on D thinking.

 

[L K]

Tavares high sticked with no call followed by a puck over glass.  Second not called 5 on 3 for the Leafs this gsme

 

[L K]

Shoot the damn puck.  The pretty passes aren?t working

 

[Bender]

Brutal effort. Should've pulled Murray for a 6 on 4. Team deserves to lose.
