At least he brings joy in defeat. When we lose .. it’s just Marner lost the puck and no joy! Martin wins and loses like a man!!!Islanders are on a 6-game losing streak while Martin plays like a man.

That bottom 6 is horrific
Kerfoot, Spezza plus a bunch of replacement level dudes
If those lines can survive without getting curb stomped I'd be beyond surprised and would call it a massive win

Hold on...you'd take Martin over Kapanen Kerfoot or Johansson?I would LOVE Martin instead of Engvall/Kerfoot/Malgin/Johnsson/Kapanen/Petan/etc...
Martin instead of any of our soft unproductive one demensional pretty boys would be a big upgrade.
At least Martin plays like a Man.
I'm feeling a 5-3 win.
Yes two injuries puts us at 1 third liner instead of 3. Absolute f***ing shocker.Malgin and Engvall are replacement level players and that's 2 3rds of our 3rd line
2 injuries, that's all it takes for our bottom 6 to become AHL quality
Tampa pays their stars significantly less money than we have at similar places in their careers, that's an out and out fact
You cheerleaders are starting to get annoying, Dubas ****** up and he got rolled by our RFA'S so we have no money for boring stuff like depth
Ugh...we need a win so I can start enjoying this place again. It's too toxic around here when the Leafs lose.
We'll see what this team is made of
We have our version of that on the right boards though. Coaches fault that our sniper is a lefty for sureWe got Mitch and his muffin shot on the left boards while the Bruins, Bolts and Caps have Pasta, OV and Stammer. Why it took the coaches 69 games to see this beats me.
Whether it’s a dominating win or an embarrassing blow out, this game won’t be of any significance in defining the team.
They have shown us all season what they are. Through 2 coaches.
An inconsistent, extremely talented bunch of individuals that have an issue with self motivation.
A roster that is skewed towards offence at the expense of defence.
A roster that can dominate a team and can be horribly outworked the next time.
And a style of play that can be extremely free wheeling and exciting but does not have an effective answer for the decades old Trap.
Curious about what Keefe sees in Malgin. I can't say I've been impressed
They don't know how to play big trap teams who force them to the wall outside. It has been an issue now for 3 years late in season and playoffs. The formula to beat Leafs is actually pretty easy. But Tampa has same issues as us. They want to outduel us up/down da ice. Let speed and skill rule. Then tending becomes the difference maker. These type of games can go anyway. Tampa win big. Leafs win big. or higher scoring close games like last one. So far we had a Tampa blowout. and a close high scoring one. I think this one is Leafs pretty easy. and then last game of year another close one.No such thing as an easy win with our Leafs. If it existed, our Leafs should have come home from their California road trip with at least 5 points!
I would break up the PP1 as well. Nylander should replace Marner on side boards with Hyman in front of net. So PP1 should be Barrie-Nylander-Tavares-Matthews-Hyman.
PP2 should be Reilly-Marner-Spezza-Kapanen-Kerfoot
Give Marner a wakeup call. He needs one, money has gotten to his head.
Please no Kerfoot on the PP. Would rather have Sandin or even Liljegren in that spot.
I think Keefe thinks he is crap but Dubie likes him ...Curious about what Keefe sees in Malgin. I can't say I've been impressed
