on with how you don't start a game with a 60 goal scorer on the bench, to put your 4th line out against their top line and let them dictate the flow. Surprise, Keefe's inexperience costs this team yet again. Surprise, they once again are trying to play to the will of their
The same 4th line that scored the goal?

No issues with that decision. Several teams do it. It's a reward for their contributions to the Carolina win.
 
2 goals against on 8 shots and you wonder why I hate Erik Kallgren

It is right there in front of you almost every time he plays

they will need at least 4 tonight
 
This team is going to have a difficult time stringing together wins unless they learn to score more than three goals in a game. It's abysmally low for how much firepower they have.

Kallgren isn't good enough to stem the bleeding for any stretches. He's at .775% already tonight, been under .890% his career. He's dog water.
 
I don’t think we ought to get more defensive in that number one role. We need a better transition defenseman. Imagine a silky smooth Kaberle bringing that puck up through traffic in the neutral zone.
Not many D like Kaberle available around the league.
 
Doubt that's all the goals scored tonight. As long as we don't gift them anymore, we should be able to at least tie this up.
 
Rielly is often quietly not that effective. He’s not a strong, offensively dynamic defenseman, not great on the power play and defensively is ok.
I really appreciate this statement.
They do really need someone better than Rielly.
I don't really know the answer, but the question is where does he fit in ranking contenders defenders?
 
Jeff O'Neill is spot on with how you don't start a game with a 60 goal scorer on the bench, to put your 4th line out against their top line and let them dictate the flow. Surprise, Keefe's inexperience costs this team yet again. Surprise, they once again are trying to play to the will of their opponent.

It matters less who starts but how they start. You want the opening line to be pit bulls out there to start a game or period.
 
The delay after the Leafs goal, was because Vegas told the refs their audio "didn't work"?

LOL. Who was the Edmonton junkscribe who said the league always wants Toronto to win?

Thats where our upgrade needs to come. Reilly + for that defender would be great but those top end d never get traded.

Are you guys watching the game or the stat sheet? Because NEITHER of those goals are on him?

Great point by oneill in the studio... you never start a game with the 4th line if you aint got killers and jackas in the fourth line. Like simmonds domi tucker McLaren orr Brown wilm corson etc. But not with dolls. Bad coaching by keefe there.
Fully agree, as others have stated.

What message are you trying to send? And to who?

If that is me, I start Matthews every period and the challenge is to get the first shot, ever f***ing period.

You're at home, you dictate the pace... make them chase you. Eff the matchup there. Later in the game, match away.

Not sure where Rielly ranks, but if we were
to compare the Leafs to the Lightning, Penguins, Blackhawks and Capitals he’s not as good as Hedman, Letang, Keith and Carlson.

I would be interested to see what the Avs do with Bowen Byram when his ELC ends. Or if they move off Toews who is great all around, or Girard, who is a dynamic offensive defenseman but is buried behind a few guys.
 
Another one for the fool O'Neill. And he is such a fool for the game. Gretzky is the all time best and better than mcdaavid cause he won eeeerthang and changed the gezame.
 
Stupid quiz.
Greatest player ever: Gary Croteau

We need more from Matthews and Marner. They are producing like average 1st liners not top of the league players.

We may have less fire power than we thought.
