Every season they get split up at some point and every season they always end up back together. Not sure why we're still hearing "Keefe will never split them up".

My idea is you can move them even though they got NMC’s, package them as a pair, plan B would to let 16 walk and try to move 34 to whatever team he lands with. They appear to be a un separable package……..
Why Keefe is reluctant to split them, because they are controlling him, and want him fired IMHO. The confrontation is about to happen.
When Reaves went back into the lineup, they quit playing.
I think the boys are anti Reaves, being inserted to fix their cultural control. Reaves has done nothing to help this team.

It’s interesting that Keefe seemed to save his criticism for the play when Robertson threw the puck back to Brodie saying “our d gets it in our forwards hands and we have chance for a very clean breakout… that’s the game right there”
Kinda bs. Brodie who is pursued by Acciari, dishes somewhat carelessly to Robertson who only has a blind, backhand up the boards as his breakout option, Acciari is immediately all over him. Robertson says f*** that and sends it back to Brodie to buy some time. Brodie then doubles down on the suck and coughs it up. There wasn’t any very clean breakout option on that play.

It didn’t work for Matthews. That guy scores a zero on the give a #%#* meter.
It would be nice to go back in time to the morning after we lost to the Caps in the playoffs, and have a re-do.

This is the reality of it.
It’s simple minded to put everything on Marner.

LMAO cry me a river Paul. I don't think you're going to get anyone to fall for your false narrative any more - I've only read a couple of pages of this thread and I've seen a ton of players being criticized. Your boy has been terrible this season, time to own it.
You know, it wouldn't even surprise me if this was true, that's how sad things are. Emotion and passion are simply not allowed in robot land.

Oh boy, would it ever. It's just amazing how badly things have gone.

He missed time earlier due to injury.
Perhaps it's a play through it injury, or they rushed him back because they're the Oilers.
The team issue is a new player must demonstrate on ice leadership before he can influence off the ice in a positive form. Reaves has done nothing. It appears to me he doesn't even know the game, he almost shys from involvement.
Nobody cares about his choice of room music, he hasn't earned the right to be on this team.

Even Paul has to think that is funny.
But perhaps too much energey was displayed?

Knies is pretty much the perfect 3rd wheel linemate on a top line. He's got such a knack for winning puck battles, skilled in transition, and plays such a simple but effective offensive game. Matthews and Marner need to figure things out with him, especially since the middle 6 looks too good to screw with
That is MoneyPuck, no TOI by strength, but those are ES numbers.
NaturalStatTrick may have a more detailed TOI.
I was at that game. That was the last time I actually felt good about this team and the direction it was going. It’s only gone downhill from there.
Knies and Bertuzzi have been good. They hunt pucks down, use their bodies and go to the net.
The only issue is, we rely on them to do all the work for our stars. It’s been like this especially for Matthews and Marner for years (Bunting and Hyman for examples).
Its getting pathetic to be honest that this organization accepts that and expects that while our stars float around and fight for every penny they can get.

The ONLY way to make Shanahan accountable is to FIRE him now !!!
He has FAILED to make this team an unstoppable juggernaut, all the while allowing the core to be well overpaid !!! Marner isn't worth Nylanders current salary never mind being over $10M !!!
Treliving was hired without a proper search for a new, and much better GM. I still think his mission is to make our Leafs just respectable enough to NEVER win a Stanley Cup.
Shanahan likely goes right back to working for the NHL after being fired. He still has NEVER moved his family to Toronto. This speaks volumes to me regarding his TRUE commitment to building our Leafs into a real contender. His versions of our Leafs has NEVER played hockey the way he played to much success !!!
JMHO.

Yes because Pittsburgh is setting the league on fire.
Dubas lovers can suck it. Treliving sucks and Dubas does too.
