Pre-Game Talk: Leafs(4-4-1) @ Jets (8-0) - 7:30 Amazon Prime

[DarkKnight]

Good move Stolarz starting.

Holmberg back in for Robertson meh, guy has brought absolutely nothing to the table so far this year.

 

[bax]

Going to be a juggling act tonight, Leafs, Steelers, World Series

7pm start on a normal channel would have been nice.

There's plenty of time to watch most of the games in between pitches. You'll be good

 

[notbias]

You could replace Nylander with just about every other name on the roster and it would be equally true.

At least the others look more engaged and are just sucking, Nylander looks disinterested.

But yes, I agree.

 

[Evilhomer]

Me personally, I would've moven robertson UP the lineup, not DOWN. We need to get him going because he's gotta give us some much needed depth scoring. I was hoping for 20-25 goals from him but it looks like we might only get 15ish with how he is playing + his usage

Liljegren must've slept with Berube's wife. This might be worse asset management than even Dubas could muster up. We literally have a 3m dollar cap penalty. We shuold play him, even if it's just to up his value to trade him. I don't see him holding value for us in a trade rn, at most a mid round pick vs maybe a 2nd at the draft but we chose to sign and bench his ass. Horrible usage of cap and an asset

JT with Nylander gross, I'm not even going to elaborate on that. Big 11.5 going to have 7 in 10 after this one....

Someone should start a pool on whether he ever plays another game for the Leafs. He honestly may never get back into the lineup.

 

[HogTown06]

Glad to see Robertson benched... He was brought in to do one thing, score goals and he's not doing it, why keep him on the lineup?

He offers nothing else if he's not scoring.

Thank you for this.

The Evilhomer reverse jinx, just ensured he scores 20 this year.

 

[bax]

Nylander has been absolutely shafted

The worse netfront presence, the worse passer, and the worse IMO facilitator.

It's at least something for now. Now maybe instead of everyone just trying to get the puck to Matthews, Nylander may get some more prime shooting opportunities.

Let's see how it works out first imo.

 

[Stephen]

Not surprised Robertson is being scratched, he hasn't been very good.

Timmins drawing back in was a no brainer.

PP is a little strange, not a fan of those units.

The tricky thing about Robertson is he always looks super busy busy, which on the surface looks awesome, look at that motor on the kid yada yada.

But it also makes the game look like it’s incredibly hard for him like he’s at a full sprint just to make a routine play. Normally that wouldn’t be the worst thing if he was just a Jordin Tootoo style bowling ball chaos machine… but his one superstar gift is his sniping ability which actually requires him to be able to ghost, get lost and provide a passing target that someone can find. He almost needs to be a lazy cherry picker to get more offense.

The more he works hard and is stuck to the puck and puck carrier like a pit bull, the less he’s presenting as an open scoring threat. It’s a tricky one.

Lilly no. At least not with this coach whose made it his life goal to ruin any trade value he has. Either that or he has an obsession with Timmins.
Robertson will get back in

 

[supermann_98]

So is Woll hurt again or are they justed shielding him from getting shelled by the league's best power play so far?

 

[Roo]

Im definitely a fan of breaking up pp1 and creating two good units that will compete with each other.

 

[MSZ]

I disagree. The HDR is great and the closeups and graphics etc are fantastic but the during play compression artifacts are not good. You can clearly see the issues with how unstable the netting mesh is.

It's your setup. The compression effects on mine were way less compared to TSN app and SN+.

To me this says it's now Stolarz's net to lose.

 

[Stephen]

Like I said last week, Woll needs to work back into the rotation. He doesn’t have the status to be thrown back in with playing time gifted to him when the other guy is standing on his head.

No it's not. Any artifacts like that are too much. I don't get any watching the games on TSN or SN on rogers 4K. It's Prime.

 

[Jojalu]

Nylander has not been good...

Past 3 games he sure hasn't. Yet he still leads the team in goals, and somehow he hasn't been on the ice for too many goals against.

Without a good 3rd line C though, I don't know what Berube can really do

Try it on different devices. The Amazon app on my native Android TV OS sucks, the quality is much improved on PS5.

I was told over and over again that laziness or soft play would not be tolerated, it seems like it isn't being tolerated and Nylander is being demoted.

Not saying the others have been great.

 

[666]

I did. The Ignite app was unwatchable and the TV's app which is usually perfect had issues. It's possible that they both suck.

I agree with this. I watched the first period of the last Prime game outside in my backyard and it was terrible. Went in to my normal tv for the rest and it was awesome.

Without a good 3rd line C? We don’t even have a good 2nd line C lol

No Lilly. Berube goes back to his golden boy Timmins. Robertson also scratched which is just dumb but thats Berube being clueless gain.
Tavares back with Nylander.
These are are the exact stuff Keefe would do

Looks like Keefe 2.0

Hired with big pay to do as we say. List the room in 3 2 1___

Stars run the team, they tried his style and gave up on it. The core is screwed.

Doesn't matter who is the GM or head coach, they are merely puppets under Shanahan.

 

[thewave]

That was definitely the most annoying part.

If you have PIP it's fine. You can watch two games at once. PIP is still on good modern equipment.

Or build a quad screen wall. Serious fans watch 4 games at once and post on HFBoards.

 

[rumman]

I’m pretty sure a big part of coaching this group of Leafs is walking on eggshell-thin brittle egos.

Definitely, we know who really calls the shots and it isn’t the coach, 34, 16, 88, and 44 are the culprits, Muskoka Four………
