GDT: Leafs @ Habs Mon Feb 21 7pm | SN (National)

[Stephen]

Maybe its time to flip Tavares and Nylander's positions?

Tavares should be on the 4th line.

 

[Gallagbi]

He fell on Caufield twice but only got called for a penalty once. That is all he’s done in a defensive role of note.

Broke up a partial breakaway earlier in the game, probably the nicest individual effort on D so far tonight

 

[Leafidelity]

Maybe it's time for JT to swap with Spezza.

I think JT becomes a winger before he becomes a 4th liner, he might be passed his time in the middle

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

The JT line is a tire fire in their own zone. When the opponent establishes the cycle game, that line rarely gets the puck back

 

[frizzer1]

Maybe it's time for JT to swap with Spezza.

Agreed but doubt that Spezza can play big minutes.

 

[Coachcorner]

I feel like Holl has screwed up every single play he's been a part of this evening. Like all of them

Just wait for lubuckshin sire. He makes us STRONGER AND MO GANGSTA. I f***in PROMISE YOU THAT SIRE. Period.

I think JT becomes a winger before he becomes a 4th liner

Sure, because of his name. But he belongs on a fourth line right now.

Was that also the play where he fell on Caufield?

 

[GardinerTheForward]

I’m just realizing maybe muzzin was sucking lately cause he had lingering concussion issues.

 

[Gallagbi]

He's taking faceoffs and fading to wing a lot lately with Kerfoot playing the C role

 

[McSnypsky]

The more I see that Caulfield goal the more it looks like a fluke!

 

[LastOne2100]

Agreed but doubt that Spezza can play big minutes.

Neither can JT at this point.

The dudes knee is schnitzel!

 

[Gallagbi]

Was that also the play where he fell on Caufield?

Pretty sure it was Dauphin. He's also the only D who hasn't been on for a GA and I'd argue only he and Lilj aren't directly to blame for a GA so far.

 

[Leafidelity]

Sure, because of his name. But he belongs on a fourth line right now.

Probably also because he has 46 points in 48 games

 

[MSZ]

Seems clear to me Matthews mouth issue is bothering him... probably more in his head than anything but he is off, and has been since that play. Still, probably better than any other Leaf.

For those that watched Holl when he played in the AHL, was he actually good in that league?

Didn't you watch the Calder cup run? He and Dermott were Keefe's top pair.

 

[NinjaKick]

no interference?

 

[Stephen]

Neither can JT at this point.

Spezza obviously plays lighter minutes than JT but man sometimes you couldn’t tell who was 38 and who was 31 between them.

 

[LastOne2100]

Probably also because he has 46 points in 48 games

Keefe has sent other strong performers down to the 3rd of 4th line for less over the years.

 

[wingman75]

yea... I am so f***iing done with Matthews-Marner this game. What a f***ING JOKE

everytime Marner is on that line that line tries to play f***ing cute hockey. Doens't work never try anything different.

LEARN TO f***ING ADJUST IN GAME

How many times do you guys get f***ing shut down and do not adjust.

Underrated comment. Cute Marner can f*** off forever... it is the player I hate more than any ever. He is not the guy we win with, and the fact he doesn't know that is disturbing.

 

[Leafidelity]

He's taking faceoffs and fading to wing a lot lately with Kerfoot playing the C role

I figured he would eventually need to transition to the wing to remain effective, I had just hoped it would be a couple years from now

 

[saffronleaf]

they've gone back to not trying

 

[Coachcorner]

A very poor effort by 34, tavares, nulander and marner tonight............................. 50 f***in millions.
After the last years playoffs... WHAT IS THIS Where's the respect and PROUD. BE PROUD. DESERVE.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Didn't see the first. Muted after 5-0, watched the third. Was it just our goalie didn't have a good night? Or team collapse?

 

[keonsbitterness]

JT is a shell of himself for far too long this season

Since the new year.
