Brodie back tonight per TSN. I like your d configuration. Apparently though he’s lined up with Timmins.
Gio-Holl
Sandin-Lily
Brodie-Timmins

 

[Jacquestrapless]

We'll see if Malgin can make that fourth line respectable.

 

[crump]

Leafs are 9-0-3 without Brodie since his injury. I hope he meets expectations (joke)

 

[kb]

More like what I expected.....ease Brodie back in.

 

[Drytoast]

Benn should be close to coming back no?

He was on the ice before practice but didn't practice with the main group. He's still week to week.

 

[Drytoast]

Also...Aston-Reese led the team in hits and blocked shots(tied with Sandin) on Tuesday. We desperatly need people who can hit.

Crazy to think that with a fully healthy group, Benn and Mete are like 8th and 9th on the depth chart lol

I've liked Benn's play want to see more.

He's been good yes, I'm just not sure who he displaces outside of maybe Timmins, though Timmins has lots of potential and I want to give him some rope if he's finally healthy for the first time in his career. As much as I rag on Justin Holl, he's been pretty dynamite stepping up in the absence of Rielly/Brodie/Muzzin.

I thought ZAR played his best game against Dallas. You’re right though, if we’re going to get minimal offence from Engvall and Kerfoot, might as well put two guys that are going to hit and grind. The number of times Engvall lost puck battles was bad. Why not try Steeves or Anderson in their place?

 

[supermann_98]

What's the argument? Isn't everyone agreed on the need to replace them somehow?

No argument, just a response to the team playing well and a poster saying we have nothing to bitch about lately. I provided Kerfoot and Engvall as examples of something we can still bitch about

 

[Beaumaris]

Team is playing it's best hockey of the Dubas/Keefe era, hopefully they keep it rolling here.

Samsonov gets the net.

Hopefuly not the usual disappointment coming home.

I think they'll be fine. The team has looked different, playing with more purpose since the West Coast debacle.

Hits and block shots from a 4th liner is exactly what I want

Bold but maybe he takes Muzz'ss place as a physical net clearing D man. (I think Muzz is retired) Yes...I know that's bold. Maybe a Holl who is smart enough to not throw the puck?

Struggle an awful lot on home ice though.

 

[GoonieFace]

They would be on most teams though. Benn is decent as a #6, but Mete is AHL calibre

I've liked Benn's play want to see more.

Benn is an ideal 6/7. Can play either side, up and down the lineup, and can rotate in and out while giving a physical presence for tougher opponenta.

I don't think Schenn would be an upgrade, at least not one worth spending real assets on.

I was pleasantly surprised with Benn. Better than I thought.

 

[ACC1224]

8-2-3 at home so far this season.
Kings are a decent road team though, 7-5-2

Getting results,but seem to struggle,let’s hope it doesn’t go to OT.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Eventually I want to see Giordano and Brodie together but I'm just glad he's back for tonight

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I’m shocked that it’s been 12 games without Brodie. Don’t know why it felt shorter.
