Cup final in March. This is it. Let's go Leafs!

 

[Leafs98]

Hope they play at another level tonight. Otherwise they will all need a big nap before the playoffs

The forward lines are almost perfect. A healthy Pacioretty would go a long way but he just can't, I'm not sure we see him until the playoffs.

I'd like to see Jarnkrok on the 2nd line but I assume they are easing him into it.

Yeah he only played 8:23 against the Sharks and was held pointless as a -1. Had two hits though, hopefully that knocked some of the rust off haha.

 

[Smif]

I kindve despise Jarnkrok as a player but I like seeing him on the 4th line rather than knocking Robertson down.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Need another D even with Tanev. In the playoffs, just go 5 and use the 6th guy for like 10 minutes a game. You don't want 2 of Benoit, Myers, Timmins playing in the playoffs. You can live with 1 of them just fine. But not 2 of them.

 

[Fogelhund]

Oh ya.. there is a game, not just trade talk.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Trade talk is more fun

I'll like them better when Schenn is the 3rd line center, Domi is playing on the wing with Tavares and Holmberg is on the 4th line.

 

[Evilhomer]

This would be an impressive road win. The Leafs did well in their game in Vegas last season.

They did, but Vegas was missing some players, including 2/3 of their top line

Still, it was nice how the Leafs came out flying and blitzed them early. Similar to the game in Winnipeg this year

They also then went on to win a big Saturday night game in Colorado a couple of nights later.

Not sure ... San Jose game or Tradeless talk?

I guess the Tradelss talk can be played forward.

Why?

Domi on the wing with Tavares shouldn’t have nylander on the rw

 

[Racer88]

Gonna be a massacre

 

[ZEBROA]

I would switch Marner and Nylander, just because...

At least McMann with Holmberg.

If that’s the case holmberg goes bacc in the middle and domi goes bacc on the wing I would much rather get rid of our one way players keep Willy for obvious reasons trade rielly and domi

lets see what we're made of

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Woll needs to be A LOT better then he was against Pittsburgh

 

[Leafs87]
