Recalled/Assigned: Bobby Mcmann Called up ! Again March 18, 2023

[WTFMAN99]

Steeves was kind of a let down in pre-season and McMann's game seems more transferrable to a depth role.

 

[leafers]

I like McMann alot more than Steeves.
Steeves has always been meh and I’ve had a hard time finding the appeal when he’s been up with the Leafs.

 

[Leafs87]

Mcmann is better than ZAR

 

[Anthrax442]

Bobby actually has a shot

 

[HellasLEAF]

I have seen him play twice recently with Marlies day after xmas against Bellville Sens and last Sunday against Laval Habs and both games he was a force on da ice creating chances and mixing it up on loose pucks .. looks like a good set of wheels on him .. and aggressive on puck retrievals .. hopefully his game translates to da show .. all da best to him

Sounds like Keefe likes him quite a bit too.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

The little Ive seen of him in tonights game, the bigger of a fan I was of his play. Let's see if he keeps it up.

 

[meefer]

I'd never seen him play before tonight. I like him.

 

[Buds17]

As far as NHL debuts go, not too shabby at all! Fair enough to state that being 26 probably helps some in that regard. In any case, nice showing to pay off a nice opportunity granted.

 

[disgruntleddave]

Could have picked up a point on 2 plays tonight. Drove play down low a few times. Bodes well.

Our bottom 2 lines will look very different come the trade deadline and later in my opinion.

Listed at 6’2” but surprisingly mobile, not easy to knock off the puck. Thought his first shift he was dogging it a bit but looked pretty darn ok thereafter. Great to see we have this kind of depth. Wonder what he’d look like after 5-6 games.

I had read his skating was okay ... it is better than okay.

Looks pretty thick.

Only in because Matthews was out?

He earned another game IMO.

 

[LeafChief]

Great first showing by Bob Man.

At this point I'd sit Hunt in favour of him.

I saw more from him than Ive seen from Hunt in multiple games. Definitely made it on my radar after tonight

 

[ClarkSittler]

I thought he played well, good skater with some speed, didn't look out of place at all.

 

[wingman75]

First time seeing this guy play (I suppose I saw him in the pre-season, but have no recollection).

I really liked what he brought. Has very good speed. Good size, strong on the puck and always seemed to be where he was needed.

Would like to see him get a few more games here to see the full repertoire.

 

[bax]

Nice, glad you posted that. I had to listen to the first two periods on the radio and Bowen and Ralph were raving about that play and his overall play. Got home in time for the third just in time to see him go into a corner and win a puck battle. Play him again!

He definitely will. Got more ice-time than Hunt and ZAR

 

[TMLAM34]

Looked pretty good out there, definitely deserves another game or two! I’d sit out Hunt if Matthews returns tonight.

 

[ER89]

Mcmann was really really good. Super noticeable imo.

Would love to give him a bunch of games. Could we uncover two potential bottom 6 studs for our long term in 1 year? (holmberg the other obv)

 

[ToneDog]

Liked him in pre season. Liked him last night. Has some, size and speed. Could be a nice bottom 6 LWer playing with Holmberg.

he also seems like a guy who could chip in 35 pts from the bottom six.

Like he has offensive instincts and the size and speed to be effective in today's NHL.

Our bottom 6 needs more competition, they should be fighting for their lives because they are. We dont have a Stanley Cup bottom 6, this may help.

I had the same thoughts, he's big, fast and physical. This guy came out of nowhere. In fact I didn't even know he was in our system until Hayes, in his normal dickish fashion, was mocking the line up in one of our preseason games, and called out Bobby McMann, I think O-Dog chimed in too basically calling him a nobody.

Glad to see the under dog have a cup of coffee with the big team.
