GDT: GAME #3: BLACKHAWKS @ LEAFS | MON 9-OCT @ 7PM | TSN4

[PromisedLand]

and just like that babs has decided that Moore is the permanent 4C

 

[firstemperor]

If you hit stick, that shouldn't be a slash. I don't mind if you call it on the hands...god that's terrible are these the new rules now?

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

the pass was behind him did well just to get a shot

Yeah just resaw it.

 

[fahad203]

Marner is famous for being a slow starter.

He didn't lose his ability over the summer lmao, let's calm down.

I am not sure if I agree with that. Last year his first 5 games he was so dynamite. He was the best player in Ottawas opener who didn't get a goal

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

This game is going so far as I predicted. Chicago always scares me. They are just so good.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

and just like that babs has decided that Moore is the permanent 4C

Moore should've been the 4C anyway. Babcock claims roles are given out based on merit, and Moore got taken out despite scoring a goal and going 9 for 9 on the faceoff dot.

 

[Walshy7]

Yeah just resaw it.

a positive there is hyman wouldnt of even seen there was a pass there last season so he is getting better

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

slash was at his kness not even a penalty imo.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Bozak JvR Marner need to be broken up. They are not good at all defensively...it was evident last year. Last year we didn't have options, this year we do.

Their big issue is zone exits. Bozak is awful at it, he's got the kind of zone exit numbers you normally see from a fourth liner. And look at JVR that last shift. Tons of time, and he just gets to the puck and throws it blindly. Doesn't exactly feel like a strength for Marner either, and Kessel back then was bad at it too.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Due to salary structure I don't mind a complete line overhaul in the offseason.
LW(Leivo perhaps)-C-Marner

Could very well happen.

 

[BertCorbeau]

I am not sure if I agree with that. Last year his first 5 games he was so dynamite. He was the best player in Ottawas opener who didn't get a goal

In junior he was a slow starter

 

[Morgs]

Could be an outlier. Look back to any year with the knights.

Moore should've been the 4C anyway. Babcock claims roles are given out based on merit, and Moore got taken out despite scoring a goal and going 9 for 9 on the faceoff dot.

Babs also said he was going to rotate for the first 10 games. This way there wil be no "well he didn't get a chance".

Why won't he rotate Martin and Leivo then?

 

[trellaine201]

Like last year, d is very porous alone with forwards

 

[PromisedLand]

Fehr almost took another stupid slashing penalty

 

[6ix]

Fehr was solid against Winnipeg so I’m not surprised Babs gave him another look today. Probably his last look though lol.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Baby steps, that's all we can hope for

maybe a marner/marleau switch? one of JVR or MArleau would need to play off wing. Kadri and komarov can be a safety net for if marner turns it over defensively

 

[BertCorbeau]

Need to get going offensively.

 

[fahad203]

Could be an outlier. Look back to any year with the knights.

Should that be relevant in NHL career? I hope you are right. He hasn't looked like himself

 

[dubplatepressure]

JVR is hard to watch some games. Ugh.

 

[Trapper]

Why won't he rotate Martin and Leivo then?

Because he's not trying to figure out if Leivo is better at what he wants Martin to do I guess.

 

[Walshy7]

komarov off the kadri line?

 

[Muston Atthews]

Riellys shot is pretty pretty bad

 

[dimi78]

Why won't he rotate Martin and Leivo then?

How many times does it need to be said. They're not after the same job. Rather you like it or not that's how it is. Leivo competition for a job isn't Martin.
