GDT: Leafs in Motown tonight: 7:00 pm.

[Martin Skoula]

That's never the problem. It's how he plays when he can't go for a spin because the space is gone. He's done better this year but he's still not in the tier needed.

Hell of a talent of course. Just never going to win a Cup with his cap hit and playoff pedigree

when he plays in simple straight lines to and around the net he looks all-world, the problem is when he decides he’s doing mostly high risk east-west stuff by the blueline instead for stretches of games.

If 6’4 Matthews can get lost in the offensive zone to get open for cross seam feeds I don’t see why Marner can’t, he doesn’t need to fight for space he just to disappear and reappear at the right time.

That dude is such a waste of talent. Clown of the highest order. Dressing room cancer

Kane?
I dont like the guy but he won 3 cups it’s kinda hard to justify calling him a waste of talent.

Or are you thinking of Evander cause I don’t remember any serious talk of trading Knies for him

 

[yubbers]

Thank God we don't have to see David's sketchers this intermission

I totally mixed up my Kane's

Now please go into pond hockey mode in the 3rd, hanging Woll out to dry, turning a 5-0 rout into a 5-4 nailbiter.

 

[Mr_Fun]

With four goals in the last six games, Robertson is now pacing at a 17 goal season (over 82 games). What a turnaround.

 

[Leaffan1991]

please Berube, don't play Marner with Matthews when he comes back. He's just a totally different player when he plays away from him. He could probably score 40 easily

 

[PromisedLand]

Alright time for a snack. This will be me as the 3rd period starts

 

[MSZ]

Winnipeg only has 8 back to backs?

What the flying F?

Yeah I’ve been watching Canada at the world jrs for the intermissions.
Not going great. They are only up 1-0 on a team that could get relegated and they have had a couple players go down with injuries

As long as that's not the Leafs too

Golly gosh darn, remember when the Y man was a genuine dyed in the wool pure hockey genius. I do suppose taking over the loaded and pre-built Lightning, maybe, perhaps made a difference one supposes. Taking over the cupboards are pretty much bare dead things is a whole different kettle of fish, perhaps

And after the game... Psycho Dad

It depends on whether Tavares keeps his skating at this level.
Last year they played together and Tavares couldn’t ever get the puck to mitch or convert his passes.
But so far this year Tavares has been quicker than he has in years.

I refuse to watch with Russia being banned.

Not like I care about Russia that much... But it's just laughably stupid. Refuse to support that level of Pejorative Slured

 

[Drytoast]

I wish Marner played like this in the playoffs...sigh.

 

[therealkoho]

Great game so far. Just dont fall asleep in the 3rd boys.

These guys aren't anything like the Dallas Stars, hopefully.

 

[SprDaVE]

This team is so consistently inconsistent. This game has been fun so can't complain

 

[therealkoho]

I didn’t bring it up. The other poster started with , just pay him.

Dang hard though to resist even the slightest provocation, right? Amirite

You’re absolute right. Lol

It’s impossible to really respond to this without getting political which is both against the rules and not something I really want to do on a hockey board.

I’ll just say I disagree agree but will admit the tournament is missing something without them.

He definitely is better away from Matthews, but boy Detroit is just awful

The US shouldn't play in most of the tournaments based on that logic

We'll leave it at that

 

[therealkoho]

Marner!!

Trade Matthews!

Never really thought about it, but ahem yeppers!

Hat's getting warmed up LMAO
