Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs arizona coyotes

[Nineteen67]

Probably should find another alternative if this is the only team they can trust him against.
Be a shame to throw away an easy two points just to give a guy a chance

Yes they should alternatives, but they don’t.

It’s totally up to the opposition and how they feel on particular day, so I don’t think there are any easy points for this team.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Sammy has only started twice and they don't play again until Thursday, I think you have to with him.

Remember Kallgren was banged up recently too.

 

[The Missing Piece]

When nick Ritchie is your leading goal scorer you’re going to have a bad time

 

[Apex Predator]

Vejmekla going god mode again?

 

[Duffman955]

Our revamped 4th line looks awful so far.

Incoming Vejmelka 60 save performance

No they don't. They were bad against Montreal. Been perfectly fine in the other two games and good against Ottawa.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

Leafs should win this if the effort level is there.

They have to "put the pedal to the metal".

Didn't they get scored on twice in that game?

A line of just grinders and hitters will do that. They've been ok but they need to do more with the puck for sure. I don't even know if they have 1 scoring chance so far, but Kampf did have a nice redirect the other night.

I'd expect a shuffle of that line soon.

 

[Ianturnedbull]

I agree, but maybe I wouldn't use "awful". They need to be more cohesive.

 

[Funk21]

All I know is they better curb stomp this team. All the trappings of a don’t show up and think our talent will win us the game. This should be an add to stat sheet game without question.

Once. They also scored a goal.

 

[robertmac43]

This is maybe the biggest tap-in win of the year... That being said, we will find a way to have a frustrating night where we maybe win 2-1 lol

Leafs need Matthews and Marner to break out of their scoring funks, especially the latter.

 

[Slyfox]

Move Engvall to the 4th line to provide some offense and speed. Bench either ZAR or Kubel and put Robertson on the third line or second with Malgin taking the other spot.

That's what I'd do.

Robertson - Tavares - Nylander
Malgin - Kerfoot - Jarnkrok
Engvall - Kampf - whoever looks better in practice.

Zarnak the destroyer sounds like my alien costume for next week .

Thinking out loud on mail it in Monday.

100% they need a easy feel good game to get their confidence rolling. Put in the work and the chances will get buried. This team is really bad.

Agreed!
The playing down to our opponents has to stop…

Kallgren is starting according to a Jonas Siegel tweet.

Interstinng they are going with Kallgren tonight

 

[SprDaVE]

Not sure why Samsonov isn't starting. Seems like a weird decision. Leafs don't play until Thursday.
