Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Utah | Monday 10pm

[arso40]

McMann is a good 3LW

If hes at 2LW we have a weaker bottom 6.

We had the assets for a good 2LW but didnt make a move for some reason

Cant mortgage the whole world and we’d have to trade domi or kampf I can see the logic

I can't believe pro scouting, management and coaching all looked at the possibility of Domi and Laughton together and said "we gotta have that."

A lazy, low IQ playmaking winger who can't play defense paired with a center-wing energy guy who can give you a little bit of defense and zero offense, side by side vigorously neutralizing each other's modest strengths. Third guy on that line doesn't even matter.

What puzzling lines by Berube. If you must keep Matthews/Marner together I'd run the following:

Knies - Matthews - Marner
Jarnkrok - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Laughton - Robertson
Lorentz - Kampf - Holmberg

Let Domi sit. He's a tire fire defensively and isn't contributing enough offence to be worth it. At least Robertson works his ass off

10 pm? Damn Mormons.

Leafs ain't ready to win again and Vejmelka seems to play well against us.

Don't want to take these guys too lightly. They'll put in the work, we better match it.

I agree. Scrappy team still fighting to make the playoffs.

 

[shaner8989]

Woll should start

Switch jarny with mcmann that guy should not be in our top 6

 

[PromisedLand]

Holmberg love fest is getting too much. Put Robertson on the 3rd line

 

[PromisedLand]

btw whats going on with patches?

 

[Mr_Fun]

10 pm? Damn Mormons.

I blame Donny & Marie.

Funny thing is that start time is even late for Salt Lake City — 8:00pm

I despise both Vejmelka and Georgiev. Mid / average goalies otherwise who turn into prime Hasek vs Toronto.

Georgiev isn't mid, he's an abomination.

 

[DarkKnight]

Perhaps early season looks clouded judgement?

Is Lorentz really a full time player on a good team?
Just asking ...

He was in and out for their playoff run. His play has tailed off me second half, not as impactful. He's playing with garbage but still...

 

[Leafs98]

If the first few shifts are dumb giveaways and cycling in leafs zone I am going to bed.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Keep Keller and Guenther in check, they’ve been running good lately.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Max Dumi on the 3rd line over Robertson is a joke. Not sure why we keep moving him around even when he’s finally starting to piece together an NHL game.
