GDT: Leafs @ Rangers - 7pm - SNO

[LeafalCrusader]

Too much McMann to handle

They still come out the period with a goal. Good road period on a back to back. Now if evilhomer could shut up the rest of the game that'd be great

 

[DarkKnight]

Yeah, I don’t mean it in a negative, I think it just brought more clarity. And for any of us who are married or with a partner, we know the hell it is, when our partners are not happy.

Didn't take that way, just acknowledging even the coach alluded to it. I think he's happy to be here, but the home stuff is trying. He's a good, pesky player, I still think he adjusts by playoffs and is a useful add.

And that’s what we paid the premium for right? That he’s going to make a few big plays in the playoffs and provide a nice depth scoring touch in a tight/tough game

He might turn it around, but he's the same in the playoffs and regular season, he's a mid-level 3rd liner, I hope we finally get some heroic moments from our depth, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Good road period. If they can keep that up they have a good chance of coming out with the two points.

Stolarz was good and also shakey.

Domi line on for an own zone faceoff is never good lol

 

[kevsh]

I think the Leafs got Nate & the Avs angry and they're taking out on the poor Senators tonight.

 

[RomanianLeafs]

I don't get why people would not want Tavares back...30 goal scorer every season don't grow on trees...

Good

Stolarz will shutout the rest of the way

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

VERY strong 1st period, it's a shame they gave up a last minute goal but they got it back and I feel like the lead is deserved.

Need another 40 minutes Just like that.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Is Laughton playing tonight btw?

I think people have unrealistic expectations of what a 2C is... having said that, Tavares is great at the right price, but he likely wants to be here, so hopefully they can work on something team friendly.

Tavares also isn't flashy, he is just efficient, so I think he gets some unnecessary hate.

Friendly reminder that serious hockey teams do not deploy a Holmberg on their 2nd line.

 

[Ananda]

Off topic - my buddy sent this to me today -

Short term I'd be ok with (3 years max). I remember Robert's still being effective at age 35 and 36 so perhaps JT could give us something like that.

I hope so

Is this evilhomers burner account?

 

[Skullz]

Time to leave McMann on 2nd line. Should never have been taken off of it.

Florida currently has Mackie Samoskevich on their second line... not much of an upgrade.

Tampa has the ghost of Gourde on theirs.

Oilers have Vasily Podkolzin.

Some players can be a passenger in the top 6 to allow more depth scoring.

Define "playing"

 

[PanniniClaus]

Now demoted to 4th line LW and was brought in to be the 3rd line center. I'd punt my pro scouts to the moon... egregious.

I can live with your other two examples but Samoskevich is a hockey player.
