Sir_Boagalott Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 The Leafs just successfully flipped the puck up the ice. It wasnt needed but was effective and indirectly lead to a scoring chance. 28 minutes ago, Prime Minister Koivu said: No TAtar? Hurt or scratched? I hope we get Perry KK Armia Thats the line I would go with too. 2 minutes ago, xXx..CK..xXx said: The Habs also put Mete in, so I’m not sure it’s that. I like Perry, but I am once again not sure that Tatar is the one that I would pull out in his favor. True, but it would be hard to pull Gally. 🤣 They both basically play the same around the net so it would be silly to pull 1 for the other. It doesnt really make sense to play Perry with Gally either.

Commandant Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 there are two more shots from the high slot with no one covering the forward. Again Chiarot and Weber on the ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the effort tonight but leafs are pulling slow ass D apart. I keep saying this but no forechecking, we sit back and wait for leafs to come.

Lucky to be only 1 goal behind. Still lots of time. If Danault keeps playing like this he will regret turning down that contract (assuming that info is correct). He was awfully weak on the puck on that first goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Why did Weber just play a 2 min shift? A similar popup came up in the 2nd last game saying Kulak played a 2:07 shift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_Boagalott Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Just now, sbhatt said: They seem to have a little bit more jump, but still can't generate shots on net. A big part of the issue in recent years is that they avg 30+ shots/game but they are from far out and/or no rebounds and nobody around had there been a rebound anyway. i.e. they're mostly junk shots. They seem to have restarted that since their slump started. I often believe a big part of their issue is they are in way too close. ex: if several Habs are near the crease, theses also numerous opponents around too. Then theres too many legs to get good shots through all the traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbhatt Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Kotkaniemi has really looked bad the last few games. How did he miss by that much on that last long pass attempt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurdBurglar Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong, but to score goals, you actually need to get shots. There's been a whole 5 shots from the habs so far this period, none of which looked particularly dangerous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blais is a fourth liner that isn't really worth a whole lot. And despite the injuries, they still have O'Reilly and Schenn as their top two centres. Just now, DON said: Like seeing Mete get a chance to play. NHL.com shows hits 39 to 7? Mete's looked pretty good. As for the hits, one team has the puck a lot, the other is hitting to try to get the puck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, I would swap Danault for Evans. Personally, I would leave KK and Danault but change the wingers. Put Anderson with Tatar and Danault; put Gally with KK and Armia; and move Toffoli up with Drouin and Suzuki. Who has the best 1 timer and shot? I'd say Toffoli, so I'd play him with their best passers. i.e. Drouin & Suzuki. What winger is the best forechecker? Anderson, so put him with Danault & Tatar. Gally ends up with Armia & KK. Those lines would help balance their size better too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
