Maple Leafs @ Coyotes - Feb. 16th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

[ZBBM]

5 shots nearly half way through the game against a terrible hockey team.  How does this even happen.

This is an extreme example but they have had several games where they just go dormant for very long stretches.

This type of effort after the awful coyotes dominate you at home. 

 

[TML fan]

In the games I've been able to concentrate on it appears the book is to pressure the Leafs at every opportunity. Some bad puck decisions

The double team is popular.

Happened against the wings too at the beginning of the month. Effort is the only reason. Sometimes they just don?t try.

That works with all teams. Hard  forecheck and pressure the puck carrier. Take away time and space.

 

[lc9]

Tavares line being abused. 

Shameful performance halfway through. 

 

[Guilt Trip]

Teams have off nights. This could be one of them. Lots of time left.

 

[ZBBM]

If ever they could use a momentum-changing PP goal, now's it.

 

[TML fan]

The Leafs need 3 goals in 10 minutes to have a chance to win this game. So far in 10 minutes they've taken 1 shot.

 

[BrownRolo]

Wow another PP. So the Leafs opposition have started gooning it up lately or the refs just magically started to see penalties?

 

[lc9]

No one will hit the net.  No shots in over 10 mins. 

 

[lc9]

Awful PP.  They refuse to skate.  Matthews trying way too hard.

 

[ZBBM]

OK, this is it, now or never.

 

[lc9]

Wow.  So bad. 

 

[azzurri63]

Holy f has Nylander forgotten how to shoot. Wow.

 

[lc9]

Nylander doing whatever he can to not shoot.

 

[lc9]

Shoot the damn puck low Matthews.  This is the sorriest effort of the year so far.  And there have been some bad ones.

 

[Al14]

Incoming SHUTOUT, by an AHL team, no less!  :-[

 

[TML fan]

That's the game. Pathetic.

 

[lc9]

4 minutes pp and they barely got a shot. 

This is why good stretches really feel empty,  because too often they just don?t show up.  Like they can?t be bothered.  10 shots through 2 periods and down 2-0.
