GDT: Leafs at Avs 7PM EST HNIC || Post deadline mayhem

[Smif]

Forward Lineup?

Domi and Robertson have to step up otherwise Holmberg and Jarnkrok (and Pacioretty when he’s healthy) will need to slot up higher.

Knies. Matthews. Marner
Holmberg . Tavares. Nylander
McMann. Laughton. Domi
Lorentz. Kampf. Robertson

- Pacioretty- Reeves

Not liking Holmberg on the second line. Does Pacioretty plug in there again if Holmberg falters? I imagine they’ll try him there again like at the start of the season.

Seems very obvious that Robertson and Holmberg should switch places. Hopefully it's and in-game adjustment.

Most of you guys say this about any game against a good team. The Leafs aren't going to be blown out. It's probably a good night to take advantage of Colorado having new guys in key positions.

Usually it's the bad teams you gotta watch out for with this team

My prediction is based solely on the potential for premature panic. A Leafs tradition.

This feels like a game where the leafs take a 3-0 lead and then hang on to win 3-2.

 

[Alicat]

Carlo and Laughton are expected in the lineup. Tanev is doubtful, but close to ready.

No visa issues for Carlo?

 

[Legion34]

welll.... that should be interesting.....

Corson was my favourite leaf in my teens for some reason.

When i was a kid i was all about the goalies. Wregget and Potvin

 

[Leaf Fans]

They are in Colorado. He was born in Colorado.

 

[Alicat]

They are in Colorado. He was born in Colorado.

I am aware. I’ve watched him for 9 years.

So the whole US to Canadian team thing doesn’t apply? Just trying to understand it b/c I’ve seen conflicting info.

You guys have a great guy in Carlo.

Chief - come on.

Think outside of the box.

Good luck Brandon Carlo

Why isn't Jarnkrok playing?
Not sure I like Robertson on the 4th line.
I don't get Berube's love affair with Holmberg.

I don't get your love affair with Jarnkrok. Just kidding, but Jarnkrok is absolutely useless. Both him and Holmberg are interchangeable anyway. Don't expect much from either in the playoffs, unfortunately. I don't like Robbie on the 4th line either. Such a waste. He ain't a 4th liner. Give him a chance with the big boys.

Robertson isn't a fourth line player, and is marginal defensively. I'd rather have Robertson on the second or third line, than Jarnkrok or Holmberg... but to play on the fourth line, I think I'd choose Jarnkrok, as at least he's been the best of the three defensively over his career. We really shouldn't be expecting Kampf or Lorentz to be setting up Robertson, so it's a bit of a useless situation for him. Robertson just is unlikely to succeed there.

I agree with you 100%, it's just that Jarnkrok is not that valuable to this team. We have other guys who do the exact same thing he does. I also agree that Robertson should play higher in the lineup. Give him a chance with the big boys.

I agree with you both.

Jarnkrok and Holmberg are pretty interchangeable really. There isn't really much to differentiate them, except for salary. I had expected Jarnkrok to get moved honestly. But, here we are... and they should be rotating in and out on the fourth line, both getting the opportunity to make some difference and stake a claim, with the knowledge that the other is on deck...

actually, I'd prefer Steeves in that spot over either....

Robby is playing great hope he moves up

 

[Cleetus]

Good luck Brandon Carlo

Nice Win today, Swayman was sharp!

Prediction number 1237 about to go bad. I'm half expecting a 7-1 Avs win thanks to this. (I'd put a wink guy in here normally, but that function seems broken)

 

[Burnie97]

I feel like the boys we'll play a great game tonight for the new guys but I think Stolarz will win them the game.

 

[Bust]

Gentlemen. Its that time of year where things get a little more intense. Looking forward to our playoff push here. I think Laughton impresses us tonight!

GO LEAFS GO

 

[HockeyVirus]

I feel like the boys we'll play a great game tonight for the new guys but I think Stolarz will win them the game.

I just want to see a convincing Stollie game again. He's had a few shaky games IMO (Woll worse obviously). This is the part that is hard in Toronto when you are expected to hold play at a Vezina level by the market. It's a lot of noise to block out

 

[fahad203]

welll.... that should be interesting.....

Even Gary Valk is not a fan of Gary Valk

 

[93gilmour93]

Shut up Ron...

Go Leafs Go

 

[9Iron]

Howdy Ho's !!

Time to get back on track with a good effort here.

I know what we are getting with Carlo so I'm ok with that trade. I don't know about Laughton...

 

[Cleetus]

Dang losing the live thread option really sucks!
