Post-Game Talk: ..::Leafs Win

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Toronto needs to expose two forwards in the Expansion Draft that have played 70/40 games in the last 2/1 years. Smith has to play 9 more games to qualify.

not worth missing the playoffs for this reason

 

[keon]

Does he still count if he's a UFA at the end of the year? Thought the exposed player must still be on a contract for next year.

Yes you are right and I overlooked that a little but it is easier to sign him to a 1 year contract than it is to expose someone like Komorov or Martin. Sorry I did not think.

Why did Columbus give up on McElhinney anyways? He had solid numbers with them.

Seems odd for a team on a roll like that.

 

[Thread The Needle]

He's probably not wrong

Hahahahahaha

Likely depth. Korpisalo and Forsberg are quite promising.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

Ben Smith with the 8.33% possession at 5 on 5 tonight.

What a stud.

jesus

Yeah, and this is plain weird. Yet babcock been using matthews in the draws for example winter wars maattheews like 3 times in the end and bozak was like wtf on the bench. Babcock better step up too. He smart, play better. the ones who knows how to take em home, ****in chumps.

 

[DarkKnight]

We were rolling four effective lines the last while, since Smith returned I can't wait for their shift to be over. Poor Sosh.

Stop ****ing giving Smith draws then.

Don't be sorry, I still don't know all of the expansion rules as of yet either. I'll be more interested in it once the season is over. Either way I'm happy that we're in the position to only be losing a very low end player.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Ben Smith is an AHL stud. Nothing more.

 

[DarkKnight]

Smith isn't even a good penalty killer, passive and just "there". I'm over it.

 

[Voodoo Child]

Ridiculous that second in Atlantic and last in East is separated by 6pts though.... Love our games in hand and our teams resilience though so these last 30 games should be pretty great.

My hot take?

- Boston is done coming at us or Ottawa but they could still take the 2nd wild card.

- New Jersey is done. Too many games and the metro is too good.

- Detroit and Buffalo, done, pack it in. Tampa looks bad but they're Tampa and I can't write them off just yet.

- The islanders and Florida are the scary teams.

- If we can stay up on Philly, were okay.

He's the one running Smith out there

Hey Guys,

Having a debate with a friend...he says ride the wave next game and play McElhinney, I say Babcock goes with his "guy" in Andersen.

What do you guys think? Is it good to give Andersen some time off in case of playoffs?

 

[Liminality]

Sounds like Matthews was sad he stole the goal from Gardiner.

Dear Lord.

Sosh is wasted on the 4th line. I'd like to try him with Matthews. He's as tenacious as Hyman but with more skill

 

[neversaydie]

My reaction exactly....

 

[Pops]

You have to go back to Freddie.

We can't have him loose his confidence, he's still our No. 1

Wasn't that line a minus?

We should play our #1 goalie.

Babcock will go with Andersen, that's his starter, CuMc is his backup.

Anderson at goalie or the Goat for faceoffs?
