Funny that Timmins is that high up (for the, ahem, deliberately missed shot assist) when his on-ice stats were awful. Though I agree A. Nylander was bad.
Then again other that Marner and Stolarz being good (excluding the drop pass on the breakway, c'mon Mitch) pretty much everyone had a dull and uninspired game considering the quality of the opposition. Good video quality though.
I dont think there’s a scenario right now that justifies breaking up that 3rd line. Let them cook.

and yet some people will tell you it's fixed
Yes reason being Berube subbed him for Mintz was that he wanted the win

Benoit has really become excellent lately. Had a tough start the year, but he has solidified himself well.
Thought Myers was very good for not having played in months. One bad turnover, but got in lanes, used his size, skated well. I think there’s a player there.

Tbh I'm a little confused as to why Matty got the second star, I thought Mitch had a much better game
Nylander with an unbelievable pass and Matthew's scored...
Big contracts coming up with Marner and Tavares. Whose been more important to their line this season?
Recall that some posters in the preseason expressed concern with Marner’s "empty calorie points" or not being the "play driver" on goals. Additionally some expressed concern with Marners perimeter play and how it translates in the playoffs.
Two games:
- Four primary assists.
- Not once was Marner closer than 40 feet to the net.
- All plays came from near the boards (except the missed shot from within his own zone)
- only two passes were intentional passes
- One assist was a missed shot at an empty net from 95 feet away.
Id say its perimeter hockey and empty calorie. Recall he couldnt even generate a shot on goal, let alone a point 5v5 when he wasnt on Tavares line or Matthews line.
Here are images of Marner assists in the last 2 games, producing from the perimeter. How successful will this play be in the playoffs?
Vs Tampa:
Vs Chicago

Bedard is at Marner level. Great player
But that team is lacking
A lot of NHL names, but really not NHL effective players
Really like the game, structured and very boring, which is what this team needs.
Can pick on moments here and there that can be better but overall, it is one of those games that good teams will fall for it coming home from a road trip playing against one of the worst teams in the league.
The goal was catching a mistake from the Hawks with great finishing.
Second goal was a lucky bounce but Holmberg was buzzing in front of the net and JT shot it instead of passing it back.
3rd goal was generated out of nothing, which is the type of goals that you see happens in the playoffs.
4th goal was just hustle by Knies for beating icing

Saw this posted on the Hawks forum. Made me smile.
"Maple Leafs fans are probably dying at the fact that Pat Maroon is on a power play unit in 2024"

just give me our very own bergeron please; we're long overdue for a franchise center coming out of the second round like that LOL

I have to admit, I didn’t like Craig Simpson for years but he’s been much more fair recently. For example, last game he wondered how there was no cross checking penalty against Cirelli. Said a lot more than that abysmal SN panel after the game.

Both lines were outplayed by Chicago.
Matthews is still getting back to game speed, he's nowhere near typical Matthews yet.
