Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Panthers - Wednesday 7:30 - SN

[Voodoo Child]

Holmberg's motor is commendable, he can take faceoffs and he's adequate in our zone.

But he plays kinda small, some sandpaper but scares no one, and doesn't really have any offensive chops. As a stop-gap, he's okay but he's not really any better or worse than some guy you can chuck 1.75 at in July. He's a Kerfoot-lite because Kerfoot was still usually good for 30-40 points a season.

I'd say at this time in this forward group the only guys he's above are Robertson, Reaves and Kampf. Kampf is a great faceoff and PK guy, Nicky Bobby is likely playing in Europe in a few years and Reaves is Reaves.

I don't care if they win this one 10-8

Or 2-1

Just win this one, go 5 points up on Florida and start creating a cushion for themselves.

IF Washington could get a win over Tampa that would be extra nice.

If they could end the night 5 points up on Florida and 6 points up on Tampa then you are starting to get in a real good spot.

Stolarz and the special teams need to be on point for this one.

Our game day lineup is starting to look like a preseason lineup. If McCabe is out too we’re f***ed
