GDT #2 - AUG 4, 4pm, SN - Mustish Win

[Preston]

Great period but outplaying does not always = winning. Need to get some bounces for once. Over 2 xgf in the first game plus the first period of this game and that doesn't account for their shooting talent (or their xgf on PP's). But no bounces and another muffin that goes in on Andy and just like that the series is basically over.

 

[BeLeafer]

They are showing really good signs of figuring out the BJs. Not ready to say they've cracked the code but the zone exits are much, much better and they are getting in deep with much better pressure.

 

[BeLeafer]

Keep playing like this and the goals will come. That's a very ordinary goalie who has been fortunate to have goosed them so far.

 

[axlsalinger]

0 goals scored in 4 periods. Fuck you Freddie Andersen!!

 

[Volcanologist]

lot of shots but not a lot of real danger. Same guys from game 1 still MIA despite the empty postgame quotes.

 

[zeke]

Oh wait, stats changed quickly late.

Rielly 6:09, 67.4xgf%
Ceci 5:13, 61.3xgf%

Muzzin 4:49, 32.6xgf%
Holl 5:04, 59.2xgf%

Barrie 3:37, 27.2xgf%
Dermott 3:21, 61.0xgf%


Hmm...muzzin and barrie must have been caught out there on the worst shift of the period.

 

[zeke]

holy crap I agree with hrudey. Tavares has to do better there.

 

[zeke]

lol panel giving all the credit to Kyle Clifford.

Awesome.

 

[Volcanologist]

LOL Burke looks so goofy

 

[Preston]

0 goals scored in 4 periods. **** you Freddie Andersen!!

If they lose this series scoring 0 goals, this series is on Freddy. Full fucking stop.

 

[Artnes]

I wouldnt mind them getting a few more minutes to be honest. They did well for the little time they go so far

 

[MindzEye]

lol panel giving all the credit to Kyle Clifford.

Awesome.

Trolling us, intentionally or not doesnt matter

 

[Preston]

Cliff or Engval should probably be on the 3rd line honestly.

 

[trujaysfan]

Double shift matthews with clifford and spezza every few shifts.

 

[BeLeafer]

Dermott is playing really well. Gotta get that boy more ice time.

 

[LeafGm]

Seems like a replay of the last game. Leafs carried the play and had the puck most of the time, but didn’t seriously threaten to score much and come out of the period tied 0-0.

So Columbus just continuing their strategy of holding on and limiting high danger chances until they put a muffin past Freddy and lock it down even tighter.

Gotta bury some soon and get Columbus chasing the game, or we’re in trouble.

 

[axlsalinger]

Throw 'em on the power play, I'm sure they can score 0 goals just as effectively.

It's the best way for an unskilled team to play. Luck becomes a far bigger factor when it's tight as fuck like this. I felt that was their best period of the series though by quite a bit.

 

[Preston]

In a season where they lost to a zamboni driver, it would be very leafs to go a series without scoring...

Could you do me a favour and shut the fuck up?
