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

[arso40]

Not going to make everyone happy but thank god McMann is back with Tavares.

Tavares/McMann 5v5 over the last 2 years together:

TOI: 363 minutes
Goals For: 24
Goals Against: 10

71% is nice goal differential to have is it not?

Hopefully it works out well.

It will

Keeping Holmberg and Domi in instead of Robertson is brutal

 

[Suntouchable13]

Just gotta get this one then finally have a lengthy homestand of 4 big games after that. Florida game on Thursday is absolutely huge.

 

[tmlfan98]

I've said this before (I think it was when Berube tried a Lorentz-Matthews-Marner line one time), but some of Berube's lineup decisions just straight up make zero sense.

Robertson should not be the one coming out of the lineup for Jarnkrok. It clearly should be Holmberg IMO.

 

[ULF_55]

would be good to see them even out the talent on our lines... something like:

Knies - Matthews - Domi
McMann - Tavares - Marner
Holmberg - Laughton - Nylander
Roberston - Kampf - Jarnkrok

Knies - Matthews - Robertson
McMann - Laughton -Nylander
Holmberg - Tavares - marner
Jarnkrok - Kampf - Domi

Lol WTF??? I never said that quote.

I think you misunderstood me.

I never said you used the word scapegoated, I was suggesting that as a possible answer to your question.

 

[The Shadow]

I was wondering. Does the team stay over after tonight’s game or fly out back to Toronto immediately?

They are in a different time zone so they would be sort of gaining time by going back.

 

[stickty111]

Robertson is gaining momentum, and been one of our more consistent players lately so lets take him out.

 

[shaner8989]

A couple saves would be nice to see for once

Goaltending has been shit lately

 

[GoonieFace]

Bérubé is a moron

 

[shaner8989]

Jarnkork for Robertson is a joke

 

[Confucius]

Jarnkork for Robertson is a joke

Since there seems to be a logjam, Maybe we can trade them for a 1st each? Just as good if not better than the guy we got.

 

[Aashir]

Robertson must just have a face a coach despises

Second coach to treat him this way

Keeping holmberg + jarnkrok in the lines for him is crazy. Lorentz could take a breather too tbh.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Robertson must just have a face a coach despises

Second coach to treat him this way

Just send him home to Dubas

 

[Evilhomer]

On the bright side, the Leafs can't possibly perform worse than my portfolio today.

I don't think Holmberg has played bad at all recently, he definitly shouldn't be on a scoring line, but much suited to play on the 3rd/4th line.

Robertson scratch doesn't bother me much, still makes too many dumb mistakes with puck and isn't good defensively, Berube is still trying to find a bottom 6 that plays a solid two way game and can cycle the puck / hold onto it in the o-zone. Robertson too easily gets pushed off/out muscled.

Yes, Domi has been dogshit, but he plays a much "heavier" game then Robertson, same with Jankrok

 

[mikeyz]

I think you misunderstood me.

No no. What I mean is, I didn't write that post about Robertson. It was somebody else.

I do agree with you about Robertson BTW.

 

[mikeyz]

Robertson doesn’t belong on the 4th line. What is this coach doing.

…. @TheGreenTBer This was the poster that said it. Not me. I don't know how that came under my name when you quoted me. Lol.

 

[horner]

Really not sure what the purpose of that 3rd line and 4th line is supposed to be. If you put swap Robertson with Holmberg, it gets more clear. You can than use the 3rd line as a secondary scoring line with the 4th line being an energy line who can take on somewhat tough mins.
Not sure why Jankrok isn't playing. He should be in the lineup

I would have Robertson there.
