Yeah funny how it can help when icing is encouraged.No. Babs was comparing Carrick and Polak in the post game and described Polak as an elite penalty killer

Rielly has been playing on the right side a lot for a long time as he is our best Right side and left side D man and depending on what side the top players play he is matchup against he plays that side in a game.I wasn't in the GDT tonight so I don't know if it was noticed - but in the 2nd half of the game Rielly was used a lot on the right side with both Hainsey and Dermott.
Makes you think that we may be looking at another lefty.
They would not is the answer.why would trouba, parayko, or lindholm go ahead of rielly in a redraft?
Ryan Murray, not a chance.Nope. I've seen others redrafting him first overall. He's easily ahead of Rielly.
Yeah, but some folks use the "we're playing in a weak conference" reasoning to try and discredit the fact that we're a good team and the main reason we're in the playoffs is because we're in a weak conference which is complete bogus. Try using that reasoning on Tampa and Boston, doesn't work either.
I hope he does because I'm attending that game.Leafs only play 5 games the next 2 weeks so eh matthews can rest
though he probably wants to play in the outdoor game next weekend
Matthews looked to be in a lot of pain there, most likely his shoulder.

If you're the other team you target guys like Matthews on purpose. Hit him hard, to hurt, whenever you can. His career will be shorter and less productive than it could be, unless Lou gets busy making a team a lot tougher. He's got some good guys but they need to be traded for the right guys.
And, on the faceoff dot!
Its nice to see Rielly doing so well offensively this year (his 1st in xGF/60 among the leafs D) but once again his 5 vs 5 defensive numbers are somewhat underwhelming.
xGA/60- 2.9 (last among Leafs D for players with at least 20 games played)
high danger chances against per 60- 12.83 (last among Leafs D with at least 20 games played)
actual GA/60- 2.5 (only Borgman is worst)
On the other side Gardiner's numbers is surprisingly good despite all the crap he receives on these forum for his defensive game
xGA/60- 2.47 (3rd among Leafs D with at least 20 games)
HDCA/60- 10.05 (3rd among Leafs D)
actual GA/60- 2.07 (only Dermott, who wasn't here when Freddy was struggling, has better results)
I really hope Gardiner gets resigned, losing him will be a huge blow for the Leafs defence.
Time to unleash Colton Orr!If we escape without injuries I call it a win. It’s like the schedule makers were gearing up for a pre playoff brawl.
Huh?Your get annoying with this Bozak is the victim routine.
Mike "we need to fire him" Babcock wins again. Works that way too.
