Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Leafs 4/8/24
I can’t be the only person that’s a mixture of confused and angry with this team all of a sudden flipping the switch. I don’t know what has happened aside from Graves, Nieto, Acciari and Harkins being out for an extended period now but did it take this long for Sullivan to change some serious fundamentals or are the players finally listening to him after largely ignoring him for most of the last 3 seasons? I guess the former is the more attractive option since if Sullivan has really changed his approach and isn’t fired that’s good going forward.

Did Shea play with St Ivany at WBS? Those guys look so reliant and comfortable with each other.

Need to stay out of the box. Keep the game boring. Dont need the Leafs to start feeling it on the PP.

Re: Official GDT: Pens @ Leafs 4/8/24
Same emotions here.Wish I knew..Perhaps pride and accountability has taken over?But this stretch is completely foreign to what has been out there for the better part of those first 70 Games.DelPen wrote: Mon Apr 08, 2024 7:49 pmI can’t be the only person that’s a mixture of confused and angry with this team all of a sudden flipping the switch.

I looked back at some of the WBS lineup graphics and they have been paired a lot together.Zalapski33 wrote: Mon Apr 08, 2024 7:57 pmMaking a huge difference with the way they are playing.They seem to understand exactly how to handle everything thrown at them.pronovost19 wrote: Mon Apr 08, 2024 7:51 pmDid Shea play with St Ivany at WBS?

Don't know how the Refs missed an obvious too many men on the ice call.

The 4th Line out there too long and never could get it clear.
Carter soft on his man in front on the goal.

You knew it was coming. You can't have a 40 year old out there for over 2:00

Kris Letang is the dumbest player in the history of the NHL

Sullivan deserves this for dressing Carter night in and night out. He's out there literally for his supposed "defense" and faceoffs. He can't even do those 2 things right.

There has to be someone in the organization that can do whatever it is Carter is supposed to do well….and do it better.

Sullivan is dressing Carter unless he’s hurt.
