I have never thought in those terms of “ a loss night “
I know it happens , but I’m always positive and expect a win , no matter what , sports is awesome that way , and in our case , we are a fine fine hockey team and one of the best in the league , so I think it’s “ a win night “

I need some of your optmisim in my life

Feels like a loss night with a potential they get smacked around with how sketchy the goaltending has been.

Let’s hope the team defense shows up

Thinking the same.

Got to have it brotha , just have to !
In my personal life and as a fan of sports …
Beautiful herb helps a lot …

 

[Teeder Keon]

Thinking the same.

58 would never think that way Brotha

 

[Burnie97]

If Pete has even a 900 % I think Leafs win.

Caps haven't been playing that good for a while and their home record is nothing special.

Be nice to see Matthews get another couple. That line has been on fire.

Hopefully Kase can create a spark on line 2.

Looking forward to seeing Robertson go again. GLG.

 

[LeafChief]

Would love to see Robertson get some run on the second line. What a waste sticking him on the 4th line. Let's see what he is.

 

[Metroid]

If I was Bunting I know what I would be saying to Ovi to get him off his game tonight

Ovechkin stats per team, Alexander Ovechkin Stats Against Each Team | StatMuse

I knew he always torched the Leafs, pretty incredible to see it detailed.

Bunting will carry us again, I agree

 

[Puckstuff]

Ritchie is brutal but this is the type of game we could use him against a guy like Wilson. It just points out to the fact we need a better version of Simmonds still.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Bunting will carry us again, I agree

For sure , but the reference was for Jack lambert of the 70s Steelers as a response to our Steeler fan poster ……

Yeah but he took a lot of head shots.

I honestly thought he was Sloth from the Goonies

 

[Teeder Keon]

Yeah but he took a lot of head shots.

Lmao
Oh I know about those ….
I’m very much feeling those residual effects …
Unfortunately, I had this stupid thought of being a brawler in hockey , but was small against the sequoias playing against me , loss a bit , won a bit , but my mates appreciated it at least , I answered the bell always no matter what …
And was a small outside linebacker in Highschool and with the Hamilton Hurricanes

Lolololol

 

[Wrong Wilson]

Lets go with the house league minor hockey goalie rotation of 1.5 periods each!

Well, we have been getting house league level goaltending lately, so it couldn't hurt.

 

[Carltons Cup]

I'll be heading to the game with my 13 year old daughter who's a big Caps fan.

This game is about bragging rights in our house.

GO LEAFS GO.

I'll check in during the game to update everyone on our bush league goalies....

 

[Nylanderthal]

I wouldn't mind some tweaks but they shouldn't touch the top line to do it.

Robertson JT Kase
Mikheyev Kerfoot Willy
Engvall Kampf Spezza/Simmonds

Robertson is a worker bee that has a deadly shot, maybe two guys like him and Kase can help JT get going with a hard forecheck and cycle game.
Not really worried about Kerfoot not being “good” at centre, Willy can cover defensively if he gets engaged. We’ve all seen it for long stretches before. If need be throw Spezza between the two for offensive zone starts/draws and bump mik with Engvall and Kampf for a super shut down 4th line.

 

[Nylanderthal]

Would love to see Robertson get some run on the second line. What a waste sticking him on the 4th line. Let's see what he is.

Spezza and Simmonds aren’t a typical 4th line that lack any skill and are a couple of tough nosed vets who give him some skill to work with against lower level comp.
I do agree overall though, as I’d like to see Willy and JT be split up and put with guys who better suit their play style.

 

[ACC1224]

Perfect spot to bring him along slowly , IMO.
Easier matchups, Simmonds will have his back and Spezza is skilled enough to get him the puck.
Play there until he's earned a promotion.

 

[saffronleaf]

Would like to see Matthews and Nylander score a couple

Go Leafs Go!!

 

[Puckstuff]

Time to break up Willy and JT and also get Robertson better opportunities. Put Nylander with players that can actually keep up and put Tavares with some players that can cycle the puck and get it to him in the slot (having a hard time with this one).


Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Robertson-Kerfoot-Nylander
Kase-Tavares-Simmonds
Engvall-Kampf-Mikheyev

 

[Confucius]

Man our forward lines are impressive. Anyway lets go Mrazek buckle down.

[HolyCrap]

First period yes, second period it will be Campbell

And third period is a wild guess. Lol.
