Predators vs. Leafs - Dec. 20th, 7:00pm - SN

That was a dreadful period. This team is bad. I don't know if Matthews is fixable but this is veering into sit him territory

Leafs were all in position. Soft clear and goal against by Woll there.

Yes Woll gotta be better there, but everyone standing still in position against some rando build-a-player coming in with speed down the middle is thanks to the back to back turnovers by Matthews and Woll’s clearing attempt.

Matthews line....79.32% XGF. 7-5 Scoring chances. 3-0 HDSC. Sitting isn't an option.

 

[herman]

Leafs start the third getting out hustled all over

 

[L K]

Man the Leafs are just not good. They are slow and they also don't outwork their opponents

 

[herman]

Cowan trying to make plays but he is also getting checked off the puck way too easily.

That wasn't good but he'll learn.

 

[Joe S.]

How is bunting more noticeable than Matthews?

 

[L K]

That wasn't good but he'll learn.

In a perfect world he's in the AHL right now and not being forced to contribute in the NHL. He needs offseason strength training. I'd rather he do good things and get pushed off the puck than avoiding those plays outright

 

[L K]

Go away Rielly

 

[herman]

That was quite the move by Evangelista

This team does nothing.

They don't throw hits. They don't score. They don't defend. I honestly got more enjoyment out of the Kessel era teams

 

[lamajama]

Tanev would have flattened 77. Morgan......

 

[L K]

Absolutely zero pushback after the goal...all the play in the Leafs zone.

Stamkos slashes at Woll and McCabe barely goes over to give a shove

 

[herman]

Hard to establish a forecheck focused offence if the breakout from the DZ involves circling it back three times to throw a prayer up the wall or finally get a pass through to three guys standing still at the blueline.

 

[L K]

Send in the Clowns

 

[L K]

Dump in with no pace....Bérubé hockey at its finest

 

[L K]

Rielly with another shot 15 feet wide of the net to end possession

 

[herman]

Leafs now finally starting to skate with some urgency with 6 min left down 1

 

[L K]

Why is Jarnkrok on the ice with under 3 minutes left in the game..........
