GDT: Leafs @ Sens 7pm

Nice save.

No way you don't play Engvall. His skating is so flawless
I think he nets you 12-14 goals this year

I feel like we can make about 3 4th lines that are NHL-caliber... We actually have too many players right now.

I kind of want to do something crazy like 4 lines, and just give players like Nylander and Kase more time up the lineup to give them close to 2nd line minutes.

But if we can do something like:

Ritchie - Matthews - Marner
Bunting - Tavares - Ho-sang
Mikheyev - Spezza - Nylander
Kerfoot - Kampf - Kase

Is it getting to the point where it's going to be too late for Sandin to fix his straight line speed/explosiveness?

You’ll almost never see a player dramatically improve a fundamental skill. He’s been skating for close to 20 years at this point. It’s extremely unlikely to happen. His decision making and anticipation can get better but he’d only inch towards a better skater at this point.

 

[fahad203]

How did Pinto just outmuscle that 6'3 player?

 

[Cleetus]

has there been a worse defenseman dawn the blue and white, than Dahlstrom?

 

[PromisedLand]

Agreed but unfortunately the way the leafs have allocated the cap this is what we get and it’s probably going to get worse before it gets better

There is an easy fix. They can deal Mikheyev

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Bunting and Kase are looking good together

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Lebda

 

[Fogelhund]

Engvall scoring and top three in forwards time on ice is a legit troll to HF forums.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Nice shift from Kase

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Bunting is such a steal

 

[Maplebeasts]

Joey Crabb was McDavid compare to Mike Craig
That should tell you how bad Mike Craig was as a player

Wow. Now that is hard to believe.

Must be hard to evaluate these guys when we are playing scrub teams like Sens and Habs over and over

 

[Maplebeasts]

Lebda

Ah yes, Brett "-3 in a 9-3 win" Lebda. Only time in my life a stat has made me lose my shit.

 

[PromisedLand]

I think they should do both to keep teams honest. Run 2 units but have the option and chemistry to load up in big moments, and play them the full 2 min.

Marner is going to be a waste in the bumper position. Point plays bumber for Tampa and he has a rocket of a shot and isn't afraid to get dirty and drive to the net. I dont see Marner doing any of that

I was thinking higher up but he has a full no move no trade……..

You can't even make that up. Someone out there will breatk Lemieux 5 goals in a game 5 different ways
Nobody is breaking that record

Imagine it being Engvall when we had Jimmy Vesey play for us

Not sure why Vesey is the first to come to mind either? He's the definition of a replacement level player to me. Almost no help offensively or defensively, but also didn't hurt the team either.


Lebda is always the first one that comes to mind for me.

Steckle, McLaren, Marincin, Aulie, Franson (so much potential wasted) are s few others.

When did they start offering these to the GMs?

 

[ULF_55]

So is Engvall back to full health?

One the better forwards tonight.

I just watched the all or nothing episode and he came off like a bitch to me so I don't like him

What does Mikheyev bring that Engvall doesn't?
A bit more speed?

 

[Racer88]

Aaaaaaaand the honeymoon is over. Lol

 

[DarkKnight]

That’s a lovely tip.
