Yup, leafs don't want to start a cheap shot fight with Montreal. They got a lot more talent to lose

I know a number of people who after buying the most expensive sports package, were sick of game blackouts. Grey market tv over ip solved their problems with only 13 bucks a month.
After receiving over 9000 channels including PPV, they started questioning why they even need expensive cable.
The NHL needs to ban the blackout practice with their tv deals.

That’s what my parents use now lol. I would as well but I live in a tiny ass 1 bedroom condo so I just have an HDMI going from my computer through the wall into the living room TV and then just stream that way. If Gamecenter live or whatever it was had no blackouts, I don’t even care if it was $100 more expensive, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

Will never happen with secondary regional coverage TV deals. They look at the revenue and do not care who misses out. This year has been the worst for the Maritimes area as a Leaf fan. If any game is regional and the Leafs are playing the Sens or Habs, we cannot get the game because the NHL said we are all Sens AND Habs region, so ZERO Leaf regional games are available here via the NHL TV app. It's insane. This will be my last year purchasing NHL package. I have had other methods, never had to rely on them this much!
As for the game on Wednesday, I'm really hoping the Leafs do not 'play down' to the Habs level like they have in the past. They need to dictate the play!

I hope the feistiness we saw recently carries over here. I think Joe and Simmonds are just showing the guys what kind of level emotion you have to play at in order to be successful in the playoffs. You need that.

How high a percent do people figure Caufield gets his first vs the buds? Seems like a very leafy thing to do ...

About even with him getting leveled if he doesnt keep his head up. Tough getting NHL experience with players who are transitioning to playoff mode.
Can it be more than 100%?
Poehling scored 3 and a shootout winner against us in his last game of the year debut two season ago and he isn't even good (1 goal in 27 NHL game and 5 in 36 AHL games the next season)
The kid looks great, wouldn't be shocked if he did. His shootout move was absolute filth.

That's what I mean. Maybe it's because I'm a Leaf fan but it seems they either are slump busters or guys hit milestones vs them at a higher rate then normal.

What happened to that guy who scored a Hattrick in his first game against the Leafs, Peohing or something like that?I'd definitely make a bet on it.
Actually where can I make a bet on it?

I'm still under the impression that without LTIR they can't play Caufield. He was only able to play as an emergency call up, but with days off they wouldn't have that option again, would they?
Yes da only issue is da time delay .. these IP feeds are like 2-3 minutes behind da real game .. even Sporstnet/TSN runs like 5 seconds behind da real game in case something egregious happens on da ice da feed can be pulled

We do seem to get a lot of milestone goals scored against us. Then have to listen to the colour commentator drone on about the players hometown and biography details no one cares about. Hopefully not tomorrow.

Hot Take: Brooks can replace Kerfoot. Kerfoot will be dealt in the off season.

I watched the game yesterday and agree he looks really freaking good, but I wonder how much of that is the “young energy” you see with a lot of high skilled prospects. I think all 3 of Matthews, Marner and Nylander “looked” better during their rookie years than they do now, but all 3 of them are much better players now.
Marner especially. I remember during his rookie year he was making game breaking play s every game, but I think along the way he realized trying to go for those game breaking plays isn’t always the best choice. How many times did Nylander make us lose zone time because he’d try to snipe high corner and then the puck would ring around the boards and out? He picks his shots much better now.
I saw similar things with Caufield yesterday. There was a lot of “flash” but I’m not sure much in terms of value. The good thing is that it’s something he, and every rookie basically, learns with time.

Just from what I have seen from Brooks in the AHL, I doubt he can perform on the same level right now.
I think he can replace Engvall though. I'd still cap him as a AAAA player/primary call up/Marlies 1C right now but I can see him being a 4C with maybe some PK time next year if he has a strong camp.

Disagree on both accounts.
Brooks cannot replace Kerfoot, or even close.
Kerfoot is selected by The Kraken.
