Golden Knights @ Leafs - Nov. 7th, 7:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

[ZBBM]

So the chyron I just saw said Marincin and Petan on waivers.  Earlier today, I guess.

They?re going to talk about how the Leafs didn?t get many shots (Vegas did a good job) but what they won?t talk about is how ?carefully? the Leafs are attacking. No one blowing the zone early and everyone is trying to attack as a unit.

Uh, they didn't have any shots for like 13 minutes, which included a PP.  There's no way to spin that as a positive.

They?re learning to play ?playoff? hockey, which is boring Babcock hockey.

Ideally, they learn to do it well, and then mix in their stretch plays and pace pushers when their opponent can?t handle it.

 

[herman]

These are two high flying fast offenses that have resolved to try to take away each other?s speed through the NZ

 

[azzurri63]

What a dumb rule.

 

[herman]

PP chance thanks to Nylander setting it up.

 

[gunnar36]

Their PP is so damn predictable. How about just one time a couple short passes instead of trying for a tap in.

 

[cujo4ever]

Can we fire Cody Cici?

 

[herman]

That?s a breakdown

Fortunate bounce for Vegas

That Ceci's a beauty.

He and Barrie have been total busts.

 

[disco]

I'm literally all for having no coaches at this point. Just go play and have fun boys. 11-2 run. This lineup? You couldn't possibly do any worse.

As Jim Mora once stated.
Playoff hockey. You talking playoffs? Playoffs? You kidding me.

Ain't a given.

 

[herman]

I think Holl doesn?t get called for this interference if he doesn?t bring up his hands and just turns his butt to pretend to move towards the puck

 

[dekedastardly]

Game over.

Willy has been horrible tonight.  Great PP. Glad the team has had so much time to "practice" lately.

The unforeseen side-effect has sucked all the joy out of playing hockey. Man, I wouldn't want to go to work for that boss anymore.

 

[rdowdall]

The leafs have absolutely no puck luck.

 

[cujo4ever]

Now would be a good time for this PP to get going.

Listening to Babcock and the players during any interviews makes me wanna puke.
Fix the problem and start earning your salaries.
Blah, blah blah. Same old story.

 

[herman]

Yup

 

[Bullfrog]

I wish this team had an elite goal scorer.

 

[ZBBM]

FINALLY

Matthews was amazing on that one
