GDT: Leafs vs Flames

Flames fan in peace. We have Frost and you have Laughton. Why did Tre give a 1st for Laughton? Tre gives away assets like candy, and then says 'trust the process' alot. Glad that guy left honestly. Right now the flames are alot like the habs.. quite a few assets and sitting around the bubble. We don't have backlund tonight or zary so our roster has a few holes. Hoping that Frost outperforms Laughton but you guys have a ton of weapons so am not expecting much out of the flames tonight

You big suck-up.

Flames are going to skate around the Leafs like pilons.

Just dump the puck into the left corner (Leafs LD's) and push the defender off the puck and cycle.

They give up chance after chance.

Ha, you may be right. I just hope you guys get away from Treliving soon. He's always had the habit of giving away assets for mediocrity. He also gave a first to montreal so they could take Monahan, while we weren't even competing for anything at all at the time. Mark my words when Treliving leaves, you'll open up the cupboards and find a package of ichiban noodles in there
 
Matthews/Marner have been fine together

That’s exactly what you want with two of the highest paid players together - “fine”.

They’re better separated.

Knies/Matthews/Marner has been our most successful line for the most part, going back to last season.

Domi with Matthews has been arguably as effective as Marner with Matthews.

Domi can play C

Not well, he can’t.

he's playing C mostly because of how garbage Laughton has been and he's just not reliable as the 3C. We got f***ing fleeced on that trade. If Laughton carried his weight, he probably remains the 3C.

As disappointing as Laughton has been so far, he’s still a better center than Domi.

10 out of 10 answer.
Mind you, you have to be a dolt to disagree.
 
I'm guessing Mitch wants no part of being a Leaf without playoff success. I hope the Leafs feel the same way.
Maybe Marner really does want to see what the market looks like on July 1. I still think the Leafs will cave before then, but I guess you never know.

So Bennett is negotiating to extend with Florida, I'm sure Mitch is happy because that will increase his value on the free market.

He may not give the Leafs a chance to cave. Hell, the claim is he has not given them a number to cave in to. If they don't get to the ECF, he's gone IMO, especially if he has a poor playoffs.

The way I see it, anything other than playoff success and he will not survive in this market. Hanse why he is not willing to negotiate in season IMO.

I’d be surprised if Marner had any interest of moving on from the leafs. He was a leaf fan growing up and appears to have a rather hefty ego. Imagine the appeal to someone like that of one day being considered (based on points) one of the “great” leafs of all time. It will be irresistible.

He just wants to screw us for as much cash as he can get he can f*** right off
 
By some miracle florida has lost b2b games

We also have 2 games against them in the next month and another against tampa. If we don’t win this division somehow, I’ll be waiting to blow this core up by end buzzer of game 4-7 of the first round.
Here’s the thing, we’re still right there, despite this skid. We’re going to turn it around, it’s hockey, and a little hit streak we’re back on top.

Tonight is a big game though!
 
Man do these guys need a win

Not just a win but actually showing some ability to dominate play, there just living in there own zone right now
We have to do better than 40% retention on dump ins, we need to stay in their end.

As a teammate, I’d appreciate A over B.
Why? One person is coming to the defence of his teammate throwing fans and media under the bus while not being truthful the other is being honest taking the onus on himself what did you see that I didn’t ? Btw they both were aiding their teammate just two different approaches
 
Because Knies basically says his game is off, not really his place. Mitch is sticking up for his buddy, this place is a joke sometimes. I like when my friends stick up for me too, and I have their back, the horror! They don’t owe you anything.

You saw what you wanted to see im afraid, everyone knows matthews isnt a hundred percent and isnt playing anywhere near his capabilities but one person went about it right and the other didnt I don’t believe you picced the right one my opinion though doesn’t mean your wrong

Some have a really poor understanding of the team dynamic.
