GDT: Leafs @ Pens - 7pm

[mikeyz]

Marner's toe now in shambles, matching his head

Marner getting hurt and not playing can only improve the team dramatically right now.

 

[frizzer1]

I’ve never seen Matthews and Marner so out of sync.

Marner's toe now in shambles, matching his head

He’s still worth signing for 8AAV

 

[saffronleaf]

really getting tired of matthews and marner together that line is just idk not that great. split em up.

maybe swap marner and yarncock

 

[frizzer1]

I’d love to see Robertson’s shot on the pp.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Did I just watch a Candy Crush commercial ?

 

[therealkoho]

matthews line is sooo ineffective they need someone with a pulse on the line

You'd think 13 and change would get your heart beating at least a little

 

[mikeyz]

He’s still worth signing for 8AAV

I don’t even think he’s worth that at the moment IMO.

 

[notbias]

Only 9th? Shouldn’t he be higher considering he’s on arguably the best PP in hockey?

5th best... also PP1 was given to Klingberg, but he was trash on it.

Rielly has less than 40% of the PP share, also... like I said, he is option #5, it is hard to build up points that way.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Breakup the Matthews Line... Also, why not try Gregor up in the lineup?

 

[BallardEra]

Pens team D is so bad. I’ll be shocked if Leafs don’t score 5-6 tonight.

 

[sunstersun]

Matthews hands have declined. Hard not to with all those injuries.

 

[PromisedLand]

I think they need to break up matthews and marner so they each feel "responsible" for their own line and are not depending on the other

 

[notbias]

Marner getting hurt and not playing can only improve the team dramatically right now.

He may be playing bad, but he is not Klingberg bad...

 

[frizzer1]

What’s wrong with Matthews?
He’s even losing board battles which he never used to do.

If Nylander and JT even dare have 1 bad period they're done as a duo for the season. Keefe is more biased with matthews-marner. They have infinite games to figure it out.

when i watch the leafs pp it reminds me of that tyler herro song by jack harlow

 

[horner]

The other lines are doing great

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Matthews hands have declined. Hard not to with all those injuries.

To me he’s just not working hard enough. He’s a handful when he’s going hard.

 

[ULF_55]

Okay period.

Bertuzzi looks much better on the 1st. line, but you can see his creativity is a touch lower than Nylander and Tavares.

Matthews and Marner control Keefe.

Matthews played like 50% with Nylander and 50% with Marner last year...

Their line is not playing great this year, but most other lines are, so maybe they are trying to let that line figure it out since switching up that line involves switching up another...

Shocking concept, I know.

 

[horner]

To me he’s just not working hard enough. He’s a handful when he’s going hard.

He's not playing like he did at the beginning of the season

 

[Suntouchable13]

Pens suck so bad. That's not even a playoff team, they are delusional if they think they have one last SC run left in them.

 

[Evilhomer]

Pens team D is so bad. I’ll be shocked if Leafs don’t score 5-6 tonight.

Like I said, I think it will be a blowout. Pittsburgh is just a very mediocre team. Maybe Dubas had instructions to ride out this core for as long as he could, but absorbing EK's salary will end up handcuffing that team for years.
