Pre-Game Talk: Leafs VS Kraken | October 31st 7pm TSN

[rumman]

It would have been lilijgren but hes gone now

Now really no options to replace them

RAfai, Myers, Benning are all worse then them and arent NHL players

We need to acquire a good bottom pairing D-man later this year

Lilly isn’t as good as Timmins at this point and Timmins isn’t anything special. Package Timmins and Robertson and you might be able to upgrade, but doubtful……..

 

[Dekes For Days]

Robertson needs to play in the top six to be effective, doubt it happens here………

Robertson needs to play to be effective. It should be happening here, especially over garbage players that drag the team down.

Who in the top six are you replacing with Robertson?

 

[Nineteen67]

Including tonight, the next 10 games should give us a better picture of what this team is.

A lot of winnable games and couple of potentially good matchups. Next week has BOS, Det, TToE followed up with OTT.

How do we know that Robertson isn't playing tonight?

 

[Dekes For Days]

Who in the top six are you replacing with Robertson?

Robertson can play anywhere in the top 9.

Matthews Knies was actually Tim Riggins IRL.

Matthews Knies was actually Tim Riggins IRL.

Knies is like 227lbs and looks like he skips leg day

Unfortunately, our past suggest that these "winnable" games, are often the ones we blow. These are the games we NEED to win. They need to be PROS, and win the vast majority of these games against inferior teams.

Yep. Every single year it's the same story, slow out of the gate dropping games against 'bad' teams, before going on a November heater that stops around Christmas, playing mid hockey in the winter then going on another late season heater and firmly finishing in the #3 divisional seed. And most often it is because of leaving points on the table against shit teams. They went 1-3 against Ottawa last season and I believe 0-1-2 against CBJ (and we've been blown out once by them already this year too) for example.

X/Twitter having issues today it seems..

From Nick Barden

Maple Leafs present at optional morning skate:Forwards: Domi, McMann, Robertson, Lorentz, Reaves, DewarDefence: Tanev, Myers, HakanpaaGoalies: Stolarz

Joseph Woll isn’t on the ice for the Maple Leafs’ optional morning skate. Anthony Stolarz is in the away goal, meaning Woll is the projected starter against Seattle.

 

[Optimist]

I have a feeling that Matthews breaks out and has a big game tonight. He's due.

 

[Skullz]

Robertson needs to play to be effective. It should be happening here, especially over garbage players that drag the team down.

It's so dumb. Playing a 37 year old enforcer or a young kid who needs the reps and the ice time. Slide Holmberg down to 4th line and play Robby with McMann and Domi.

 

[ULF_55]

Who in the top six are you replacing with Robertson?

No one.

In the playoffs he averaged 8:31 Even strength minutes a game, and got 1:17 PP TOI/g.

Goals: 0
Assists: 0

Let's hope he does something, and they get some value for him.

Nice to see Woll wearing protection when he's out Can't be too careful!

 

[banks]

I'd be going with Woll for this one. Glad to hear Robertson should be in the lineup.

I'm looking for Timmins to have a good game. Moving Liljegren out is a clear vote of confidence in him, he better deliver. He should be high on confidence right now.

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs will buy themselves another week or so with a conditioning stint.

I think that was always the expectation.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Thank god you don’t GM then. Keefe was an idiot for playing some of those bums in the playoffs and was fired for a lack of playoff success.

Yes I 100% agree

Sheldon keefe got fired because he chose to play some number 4-6’s over a #7

It wasn’t totally because his style of offence produced almost nothing, with his special teams being horrible, and his inability to get the core 4 to work in the playoffs.

lol, if those guys are bums, Liljegren is the diarrhea that comes out of bums
