lol, time to start trashing Maurice againLyon is starting?
My guess is they put Matthews out vs Lundell line. Need he and Luosty to shine defensively this series.Leafs get to determine line matchups on faceoffs. Will be interesting to see what they do.
Elliot Friedman thinks it might be a workload for Bob. Possibly the Panthers have him on a workload limit, might try and ride two goalies this playoffsMind games?
It's not only cutting their magical run, but they were all in for this year. They have less top draft picks than us, a worse farm and only 6M in cap space to fill 11 roster spots. They are in a though spot.1. The Boston Bruins for cutting short their magical run
How is this a lie? Tkachuk is such a more complete player this year than he ever was in Calgary, and the tide really started to turn for him around December/January, right when coaching starts to dig its tentacles deep into your subconscious.
I highly doubt we get out of that Boston series with last year's version of Matty Tkachuk.
Ty and just a little background on me I'm from Nova Scotia and a few of my mates are Leafs fans. I hate the Leafs lol.Anyone not trolling is welcome.
I dont know. Judging by the Sutter firing and the smoke that came out of that locker room all year in regards to Sutter himself, perhaps Chuck and his linemates excelled in spite of Daryl.Based on that MT is a smart player who imo already knows how to get better without any input from Mo or any other coach.
Mmm, thought it was weird but now that you mention his previous performance, it actually makes some sense. Best case, he gets into their heads, worst case, Bob gets a few days of rest.Surprised but goaltending for us, wont be an achilles heel in the series, for the Leafs maybe.
Plus Lyon beat them down the stretch run no? 40 saves
Also gives us a fresh goalie after the OT win on Sunday then travel etc.
was thinking the same thing which i think is a mistake with how good they are defensively. Maybe they attach our 4th line when they can with Matthews.My guess is they put Matthews out vs Lundell line. Need he and Luosty to shine defensively this series.
Maybe you should lace up and show him how easy it is?
6 pts in 7 games. Big goal in game 6. Even on the +/- against difficult matchups. Over 50% in the faceoff circle. Guy is just terrible. Obviously didn't have the leadership skills to get us through the series...
I agree with the fact that it's going to play mind games with the Leafs.Honestly, I like the move to go back to Lyon. Bob didn't inspire the most confidence over the last couple of games and Lyon did exceptionally well against Toronto in his last two games vs them.
Plus, I just know it's gonna play in the Leafs' players head a little because whatever scouting report they had on Bob is out the window now.
You are massively underestimating how important coaching is in player development. Like, I cannot overstate how important your coaches are in development. Literally the #1 reason that most guys develop into NHL players is their coaching. Not everyone has that god-given talent ala McDavid.Based on that MT is a smart player who imo already knows how to get better without any input from Mo or any other coach.
