GDT: Leafs @ Panthers - Thursday 7pm - Amerant Arena

[ACC1224]

Last October they had that disastrous California trip where they lost every game Keefe had to walk back his comments Marner had the we're grown men remarks lol.

Hopefully this trip goes better.

Keefe should have been fired after that trip.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Keefe should have been fired after that trip.

Keefe should have been fired after blowing a 3-1 series lead to Montreal.

And again after his "respect in the handshake line." comments

Leafs owe them a beat down. Nothing more, nothing less. Doesn’t erase what happened last season, or give them any bragging rights. Leafs just owe them a solid spanking.

Keefe never should have been hired in the first place.

No argument here. I was just referring to the last time he should have been fired.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Domi will probably get a couple of points in this one to quell the overreactions.

At what point does it stop being over reaction? He is not a rookie!

 

[Aashir]

this games gonna be interesting

We got knocked out in 5 by these guys last year, core guys can’t have forgotten that

No montour, no ekbald that dcore is worse rn than it was in the playoffs with Marc staal in

Their offence is still deadly though, gotta pay attention and not give up easy breaks like we did to Chicago or it’s gonna be wraps quick

I’d love to see Marner pot his first of the season. Matthews break the dry spell too

If Samsonov is in, hoping for him to have a good game too

I thought they were knocked out in game 3?

It stops being overreaction when people accept Domi for the player that he is because, as you say, he is not a rookie. If you expected an offensive version of his father, that isn't remotely close to what Max is. He isn't on team 5 or 6 by accident.

 

[SprDaVE]

Bertuzzi is playing tomorrow, just a maintenance day today.

I agree. He is much closer to 13th forward than he is to top 6.

OK so we are up to 3 times.

 

[MSZ]

Keefe never should have been hired in the first place.

He won the Calder Cup so he deserved a chance in the NHL, but not with a contending team.

 

[acrobaticgoalie]

Benoit at forward?

 

[The Iceman]

Benoit at forward?

they only have 1 extra skater up with them and Bertuzzi was on a maintenance day.

 

[The Iceman]

Trivia question of the day.

Which current NHL coach is second all time in win percentage with a minimum of 200 games coached?

Not
Brind'Amour
Cassidy
Cooper
Bednar
Sullivan

Ahead of Bowman, Toe Blake, Quenneville, Shero, Sather.

The answer is................................Sheldon Keefe

Then the playoffs come around
13-17

Where does that put him against those coaches.

 

[Squiffy]

You don't get payback for a humiliating playoff series loss in a meaningless October game. If we do win this one, I suggest you resist the urge to brag about it on the main boards, some people may die laughing.

I can’t promise I won’t be sticking it to the main board plebiscites. Maybe a parade route too.

That’ll show them.

Not 3 games in that's for sure

Then the playoffs happen and he gets out coached in literally every series he's ever been in, including the series he won.

Keefe beat Tampa not because he out coached cooper he most certainly didn't.

He won that series because Vasi played the worst hockey of his career

"With Gudas gone and Bennett hiding on the IR"

Really? Main reason I would have wanted to see this game is someone (cough Reaves cough) taking Bennett to task. Very disappointing.

 

[LaPlante94]

I'd say make 3 lines that should be able to dominate offensively but I doubt Keefe could work that out and split the ice time.

Bertuzzi-Matthews-Jarnkrok
Knies-Tavares-Nylander
Domi-Minten/Holmberg-Marner

I know people probably freaking out like why is Marner on the 3rd line but that's the point of doing it so you have 3 dangerous lines. We started with Knies-Minten-Jarnkrok as our 3rd line when I think all 3 of these guys are complimentary players to more skilled players and now all 3 are on different lines complimenting each of our core guys. I also think maybe we should try Domi at 3C because some of his best hockey has been when he played C.

Bertuzzi-Matthews-Nylander
Knies-Tavares-Marner
Holmberg-Domi-Jarnkrok

I like the look of both of those tbh and if people feel Robertson deserves that spot over Holmberg then I'm okay with him in that spot as well, even though I think Holmberg is a better fit imo.

 

[LeafSteel]

crazy double post….

 

[Niagara Bill]

Not 3 games in that's for sure

10?

Honestly wouldn’t have minded seeing Knies himself grab Bennett and throw him down.

He’s big enough to and it would send a very strong message to anyone who had intentions of trying to do it again.
