No that was the previous game, but i'm sure that didn't impress you either. But you would be shitti g all over them if they lost either game.

I was impressed when the scrubs won.

This not so much.

But of course, I don't have a short history with this team.

Guys like Lorentz and Holmberg are reasons you don't spend 2.5 on a 4C like Kampf

Robertson and McMann are why you don't spend 2.1 million on a wing like Jarnkrok

I’m just curious as to how an NHL GM wouldn’t know that already

 

[On-the-Fly]

Assuming 67 and 18 have impressed enough to make the team, do the Leafs still need to sign them before opening night? Are their PTOs over now? Are they free to sign anywhere?

 

[freshwind]

these weight loss stories are awesome, I know how hard it is ... I was pretty happy with dropping 35 lbs the year i retired but some of these numbers are outstanding!

I have sportsnet premium it is blacked out for me...

Late to reply, but where are you located? If you are in the Leafs region it was on TSN4. The rest of the country should have been able to get it on SN+P. Sometimes your ISP may provide a public IP address to you that messes with these services. Would be easy to confirm using: What Is My IP?.

Was at the game... the game was a bit slow. defense was alrite. PP clicked. didnt really see anyone stand out in a good way. I would love to see a stretch of games where they dominate on the score sheet. Seems to be getting 1 goal games and barely hanging on.
Marner baffles me. Its bad on TV, its even worse in person. what is he doing? overskating, overpassing. so much skill, but it all just goes to shit once the puck drops.

They have been free to sign anywhere for a moth of more now, they can still be on PTOs after the season starts. Essentially, they are still free agents.

Except for the scoring.

Love the passion, but as the announcers pointed out, kind of felt bad for the dude in the 1st row... who looked bummed out that he couldn't get a view in. Those are not cheap seats.

 

[Budz]

Lorentz is a keeper. Loved his game tonight.

 

[LeafSteel]

WTF did I just read... lol

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I liked what I saw for the most part from Reaves-Kampf-Lorentz.

And I say for the most part because Kampf did take a dumbass penalty to put them down 5-3.

But that line was physical, it scored, it wasn't a defensive liability, overall they were good.

Woll made a couple spectacular saves but also at times looked like he wasn't 100% comfortable.

PK was 23/24 overall

And the PP clicked at over 25% more of that please.

Jeff O'Neill, our former player looks really lean. He is really getting it and gets the ladies. He is someone our team has to also look on to. Be hard.

The f*** is this?

 

[TMLBlueandWhite]

Extremely dissapointing to see Marner with the "A" instead of Rielly.

If that's the best Tanev brings it's not good enough. I still can't believe Treliving gave him a six year deal. You know a contract is bad when you have to sell it by saying the player will probably be on LTIR for a whopping 1/3 of it.

Only in Leafsland is anticipating paying someone to not play a good thing.

Looks like the focus for Berube is to get pucks out of the zone and in deep as quickly as possible. Seeing a lot more dump-ins than under Keefe. The Leafs are a good puck retreival team so are somewhat ambiguous on how they enter the oppositions zone.

They prefer to exit their own zone with possession but won't hesitate to dump it in to gain the entry.

The power play is a lot less static with more rotating of bodies. They don't just park in their spots on the 1-3-1 anymore. The penalty kill appears less aggressive with the focus more on clearing the zone than trying for a shorthanded goal all the time like it seemed under Keefe.

Doesn't appear Berube is happy to sit on a one goal lead and instead prefers to keep pressure on the other team until they cement the game.

Haven't watch preseason games, mostly due to regional blackouts. This broadcasting scheme can't end soon enough. Join the 21st century.

There have been no major moves by the NBA, MLB, or NHL to end regional blackouts.

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Love watching Nylander's agility.

Arguably top 5 in the league out of all the forwards for agility. Has that elite burst you can only be born with once he changes direction too. Not even the Norris winner is going to challenge Nylander 1 on 1 up-high in open space. The defender will get beat every time.

 

[aingefan]

this is why I dont call players out anymore, because they usually score after I post lol

Where are you during the playoffs, then?

 

[CabanaBoy5]

What we learned this game :

-the Kampf line can be a serviceable 4th line, great forecheck
-pp and pk has the potential to be much improved
-Stolarz looks more comfortable than Woll at this point
-Neither Timmins or Liljegren should be in top 6
-We look slower but are better structured
