Offered and lost
He's got a lot of utility and does almost everything at a competent level, an ideal depth player.

I'm loving what I am seeing, frankly.

Bunch of sob sisters, these admins.

Mitch didn't just score, he was crisp all night with his passes and making smart plays in both zones.
I ride Mitch like a lot of you, and I can acknowledge a great effort out of him - but with the spondulicks he's getting...I don't expect that effort every night but half the time isn't too much to ask.
Matthews had a few good looks but his timing is off.
JT playing not scared - probably because Nassau was decrepit and falling apart and the IBS Center or whatever its called is corporate arena #2783248.
Bunting plays quite a chippy, nasty game. I wasn't expecting him to replace Hyman - for what he was asking I hope the door didn't bruise his ass on the way out, I'd like a bit more production but I can't complain about anything he's done.
Sandin looked much better, it'd be hard to be worse than he was against the Pens, but if he's not gonna be a burner he at least needs to make decisions quicker.
Lily jumping up in the rush, his first one's coming.
Tremendous battle out of Woll after a not so hot first start in Buf, focused and ready, even if he could have played in his street clothes.
On to the Crylanders...
It's been four years, let it go. If you were a woman and Tavares was the guy who dumped you, after four years he's married to the next girl...and you're still sitting there, in your dank studio apartment that costs 60% of your rent, half a bottle of wine deep, unhappy about the weight you've gained and surrounded by cats as you say 'yeah f*** that guy!'
Covid hit them hard, and with Brock Nelson out(?) - sure could use a Tavares.
Sorokin was ok, clearly not a big wheel in the new Russian goalie invasion with Vasilevskiy, Shesterkin and Samsonov.
Chara is a HoFer for sure, but it's kind of sad to see what he's been reduced to.
Bro, just retire, you have a Cup, a Norris, three kids and generational wealth - you have better things to do than PK + 10-12 minutes at five on five for league min.
He still gets away with murder, which is annoying, but what are you gonna do?
I can see the skill with Barzal - you'd have to be blind not to, he's near-McDavid fast and can handle the puck at speed and he can sauce it out, but there are also deficiencies - he's a breeze-by defender, more averse to the corners than Kessel and could lose a faceoff to a three legged dog with a mini stick in its mouth.
Excellent shutdown effort against a team that's hurting, and a team you like to hurt.

Bubble wrap Kase until the playoffs. Kase/Kampf/Bunting are exactly the type of players we need in the playoffs.

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
Lighting tonight looked like the old 70s Rangers games at MSG on Sunday’s
Loved those games
Great rivalry and tough games

Islander fans are fragile. Comes from always being the little brother of the Rangers. Best to just ignore them and bask in tonight's victory

I thought Lilly was very solid again offensively and defensively
Like to see him with Mo for one game
Muzz and TJ
Sandin and Dermott

They started off booing JT and ended up booing their own team. You love to see it.
Also fans leaving early on their arena opening weekend lmao

They figured how to play puck possession structured attacking defensive hockey. Dubas and Keefe's plan

Some fun stats:
Last year, the Leafs big 4 scored 52% of the teams goals. This year, they have scored 55%.
Bunting/Matthews/Marner line on the year now:
CF%: 67.11
SF%: 88.04
xGF%: 76.22
Hope it stays this way a while.
Looking at the big 4 combos this year:
Matthews/Marner:
CF%: 61.45
SF%: 61.81
xGF%: 66.02
Matthews/Nylander:
CF%: 58.13
SF%: 52.90
xGF%: 66.12
Tavares/Marner:
CF%: 50.31
SF%: 46.41
xGF%: 48.83
Tavares/Nylander:
CF%: 58.45
SF%: 55.96
xGF%: 60.85
Some interesting numbers to be sure.
Leafs now 75-35-13 under Keefe and top ten in the NHL for almost everything there is to track with only goaltending (15th over that stretch) the main negative to pop out and thats almost all on the departed Andersen.

LOL @ the Islander's board. You couldn't even get one past an ECHL goalie (who holds the record for most shut outs in your arena BTW)

Check out the Oilers Out of Thread. They are a few posters there who absolutely loathe anything Leafs or Toronto. I really hope these fellas aren’t in any meaningful relationship because that would be utterly hell for the poor partner.

Is this a blanket rule Im missing?
Ive posted in other teams threads after losses to my team before..
or is it only if youre being rude?
Seriously? I guess it's true, sounds like a strange thing to just make up.
NYI fans are in tears? I guess that makes us even then cause I can't stop laughing.
Like x3.
Reminds me of the Bruins mods that came to this board in the playoffs and infracted people for negative comments made here. They wouldn't survive 1 day as a Leaf fan, so sensitive.

If Bunting can keep playing like he did tonight on the top line, it would be huge.
He's not wrong.... they get butt hurt if you reply to their comments. I got warned twice so far tonight.
