I know we won and all but Rielly has been very underwhelming so far this season. I'm starting to wonder that maybe finding him a partner isn't the issue but that he might be. He has all the tools but low iq and is a tire fire defensively

Yikes. Rielly has yet another solid game, and is under appreciated again on here. Muzzin has his 2nd or 3rd rough game of the season and no one talks about it.

Back to back 4 star games btw for Rielly and Brodie by the athletic.

I wish people weren't so quick to rip Bogosian. He is fine. No he will not win the Norris. Yes he will clear the net, make a first pass, kill penalties, and stop the cycle.

yep Otto, Bogo had a decent game tonight, the more confidence he gets and adapts to his new team and system better we hope he gets, he jumped in on a few plays, has a decent shot need his physical.
 
Love lve that Mathews is getting involved ohysically
JT the best he has looking in a leaf uniform he looks alot quicker.
Lehtonen great first game on the smaller ice .
Great game from the team

This team will be judged by what they do in May, I have said for a long time this is either going to work and Dubas will get the credit or it's going to fail and Dubas will get the blame.

Either way he will deserve it.

No arguments there. However, I bet a lot of the regulars in those threads disagree. They proclaim failure by both the coaching and management after a loss in game 2 of the season.

I'm very happy with the D right now. I haven't said that in years! Although, yes, it's a bit early. Being positive and optimistic though feels nice.

I watched Vesey tonight. I agree with the poster who said that he does a lot of good things defensively. Whether he stays on the second line or not, we'll see. But he is definitely NHL quality though and belongs on the team.

1st NHL game man, he didn't stand out bad either, Bogo played a little better each game since his 1st cut the guy some slack

Yeah for sure. The guy's playing his 1st game in the NHL. hardly got any shifts so couldn't get into a rythym ... not being noticeable is a very good thing under those circumstances!

Leaf Nation is the capital of hot takes for sure. Last night for example, Andresen allows one goal and people here lose their minds. Anyhow, I hated the way we lost to OTT but I said give them 5 games before saying anything, the season just started, a lot of new faces etc., it only makes sense. Looking a lot better last two games.

I also will judge this team mostly by how they play in the playoffs. It's not all on him though, it's also on the coach and most of all, the players.
 
Andersen was excellent tonight. He didn't face a lot of shots, but made some real good saves early in the game while the leafs got rolling.

Anyone that feels Rielly is struggling needs to watch hockey more. Rielly has been fantastic(other than the defenseive sh*tshow in Ottawa).

I like Jumbo. I think he's been really good. The 3rd line has been good as well, so I am afraid of messing with it.

Hyman with JT could make some sense but I'm not sure if they would mesh all that well.

Hyman - JT - Marner was arguably the best line in hockey in the 18-19 season.

Matthews laying out hits over the course of a playoff series is going to take its toll on the other team. Lindros was one of my favourite players due to his combination of skill + physicality and while I don't think Matthews will be as aggressive, it's imperative that he continues to be physical.

A 50-60 goal, 100+ point C that's defensively responsible, great at faceoffs and throws his body around? That player is in conversation with Mackinnon for 2nd best in the game imo.

It's not all on him, but he built this team this is HIS team if it fails again I don't think it's out of realm of possibility he's out of a job, if it succeeds his job is secure

McDavid is truly terrible defensively. He doesn't even bother skating back.

they only moved away from it because Matthews threw a fit about wanting to play with Marner.

Well no, that line was sucking real bad last year when they were together to start, though it likely had to with all 3 of them having major injuries.
