Glad to see Robertson in the top 6 and Simmonds back in. Kind of would have liked to see Timmins in for Hollowell.

Timmins’ time will come. Hollowell getting a good look and experience before his waiver exempt time expires. Matthews called him by his nickname “Cheese” when talking about that pretty sweet pass. I think Hollowell is in until he does something drastically inept. That goal line play the other game might have been saved if he stayed on his feet and got behind the goalie for example. No matter he’s gold with Matthews.

Hollowell is already waiver eligible. He even cleared waivers at the beginning of the season.

Agreed. As much as I would like to see Timmins draw in, I’m glad he’s not being rushed and is being given every opportunity to acclimate and get off to as good of a start as possible when he does draw in.

If he can put his health issues behind him and develop his potential, he could be an excellent reclamation player for us.

They are working with Timmins, to adapt him to our systems, and teach him what they want from him. He's a bit of a project really. Pre-draft he was an exciting prospect, with a ton of upside. Since being drafted, and his injuries, that potential hasn't been realized, or even close. His confidence isn't great. So... they are working with him, to try and get him to realize that original potential... that doesn't happen overnight.. If he realizes that potential, we've really stolen a good D man... Chances are probably high, that he doesn't, but they are putting the work in that's necessary to give him the best chance that he has.

Glad to see Hollowell sticking. He looks great but its obvious he needs to put on some weight and muscle.

It will be interesting to see if Mete and Hollowell can continue to use their skating to get them out of situations. Tampa is a heavy team. If that pairing can come out of this game without being burned then we may have something back there.

The lack of Brodie's stability back there has been a little noticeable but honestly I have not missed or noticed Mo missing at all. Other guys have been able to step up and do what he does without issue. The PP has felt more dangerous without Rielly as well.

Dating this chick from Montreal…
She remembers the deep playoff run Habs had VS the lightning. City was wild.

Her words exactly with the accent ‘’mi and mie girlfriends thought it was Toronto playing. Blue and white jersey, non’’? and then ‘’ What is Tampa baye ‘’

Point is… to every non hockey fan out there, this team copied and stole the exact same colour kits as us and even the logo was white and centered.

Lmao. Lightnings owners didn’t want a chance of the Colours being hated on by a fringe market. Credit to the Kraken, baby blueish green colours. That’s Original.

Go leafs go!!!

time to put some space between tampa and us; and keep pace with Bruins. In regulation. Get it done!!!

Nothing that I want more in regards to the Leafs but I am skeptical.

1 regulation loss in 16 and the D still a patchwork corps.

Feels like a tough test.

Although I did predict a 3-2 dub.
