GDT: Leafs @ Flames - 9pm TSN

[Gary Nylund]

Screw you Keefe, if holl plays ahead of Liljegren Keefe needs to be fired

Assuming both are healthy and it's the playoffs, I could agree with this. This is March 2 though, it's a relatively meaningless game, I'm guessing Lily isn't 100% even if Keefe won't say so and if that's the case, having him play on consecutive nights would be incredibly stupid. Both the new guys want to play and instead of saying no to them, playing 7 Dmen and easing them in doesn't seem at all unreasonable.

GLG!!

Holl has to be showcased for a trade. Only logical explanation lol.

Maybe we can leave Holl & Kerfoot in Calgary with some picks and take Tanev & Toffoli

 

[Bomber0104]

Holl vs Kadri , the Redemption Fight.

I wanna see it.

 

[ACC1224]

Why anyone is surprised Holl is playing is beyond me. I’ve never been a fan but his play hasn’t changed any to have him fall out of favour.

 

[slozo]

I like the 7d and not surprised at all Lily is sitting, he looked a little banged up.

Cycle Matthews, Marner and Nylander through the 4th line and hopefully spark something especially with Matthews.

Yeah I'm with you - not sure why everyone is surprised / against it.

Don't mind 7 D with 2 new bodies in an unfamiliar system playing with unfamiliar linemates . . . there will be lots of mixing and matching.

if by showcase you mean dark comedy. Getting beaten by Huberdeau will certainly enhance his value.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

7 D?

It would be wise to change your prediction contest entry.

I mentioned in the past they should play 7 D more often. I’d rather see the top guys get more ice then some 4th line plug.

 

[Griffin76]

Holl-y shit.

Hope leafs win. Other wise I'm blaming Holl, I don't care what that makes me look like on here.

I blame him for everything. Even when he's not on the ice.

Really, he should have fell out of favor two years ago. At this point, the fact that Keefe keeps shoving him into the top 6 is getting outright ridiculous.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I don’t care what the numbers tell me. I’m excited for this.

 

[2 Slick]

They aren’t playing Justin Holl to showcase him to other teams.

If anything, that would only detract other teams, and scare them away permanently.

If he’s playing again, I think I’ll skip this one. I’ll check the score every 30 minutes or so. Not wasting my time with that schlep playing.

 

[Burnie97]

Considering who's in and what they're running with... pretty ideal

What about all the other games he will play this year, including the playoffs?

Yeah I’ve never been a fan but they obviously see something in him.

 

[Stonehands 1]

go Leafs go. just win

 

[PromisedLand]

And I have a reason to watch tonight. Was going to skip until I saw Schenn is in and is paired with Mo

Feel bad for Gio. He doesn’t deserve that.

 

[Cleetus]

7 D?

nope im good lol

 

[LeafSteel]

Game might get ruff and we might need Holl to physically handle Jakob Pelletier.

Can’t risk having that 5’9 179lbs thug running around having his way with us….

 

[crump]

This game has throwaway written all over it. Back to back third string goalie, 7 D, 3 brand new, no time to practice, this is learn by fire. I know they are supposed be professional, but they are human. This is Keefe saying “we have to get everyone in somehow to see what we got. I’m throwing it at the wall.”

 

[Ziggdiezan]

all the games are almost meaningless now.

we are playing tampa.

i'd be very hard to drop to the first wildcard.

Gotta love a playoff system whereby like a third of the regular season can be a right off

 

[Pete2000]

 

[Carltons Cup]

I'll lose my s**t if I see Keefe playing Holl and Rielly together again tonight.

 

[Burnie97]

Feel bad for Gio. He doesn’t deserve that.

Much better pair for Holl than last night
