GDT: Maple Leafs @ Kraken | THU FEB 06 @ 10pm | TSN4

TBH I pass out during the 7 pm games sometimes too

Rangers - Bruins game last night I turned off until near the end of first period.

It was brutally boring first period, so I had to go watch paint dry for some excitement.

 

[The Shadow]

They do?

Yes

 

[GoonieFace]

Mitch gets to ride Nylanders coat tails now

 

[Mr_Fun]

They do?

The closest I've seen is one guy saying -- they are capable of playing well together. I haven't even seen him advocate for them staying together. But yeah, narratives and such.

 

[Racer88]

10pm start... I'm afraid I'm not going to be catching much of this game.

Ya, I’m going to try and watch the first period and re assess after that.
5:45 comes real early. I have very serious morning responsibilities………………to make sure my wife gets her ass out of bed to go feed her horses . Lol

 

[Torontonian]

Interesting combination

Now replace Holmberg with a real centerman and they are cookin.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Another RD as well, please.

Of course. He can't do much without a closer. Imagine how many assists he can get with two against a shitty Kraken team.

I have to take one of my kids to rowing practice at 5 am....

 

[HockeyVirus]

Someone finally let Holmberg drop the L?

 

[ACC1224]

Yes

Doesn't appear so, any examples?

 

[DragoGrizzly]

Yeah I love the second line, hope Berube gives it some rope. A real interesting style mix. I think it’s been tried fleetingly at times but not as a set line really.
And I like that they’re dropping Reaves and putting Patches down to the 4th along with keeping Robbie in the lineup, who despite not scoring I thought has been looking okay lately.

Ya, them early morning are a killer the older you get

 

[Evilhomer]

The talent difference between these two lineups is off the charts.

 

[OVO16]

Wow I actually really like those lines. Pacioretty in the 4th line makes a lot of sense based on how physical he's been this season and Domi has always looked better playing with top talent

Just need to upgrade Holmberg at the trade deadline and we our offense is set (assuming Jarnkrok comes back too)

 

[TheBeastCoast]

11pm start is just not gonna work for me lol

 

[Leafs87]

Likely won’t be watching but Go Leafs, Blues and Lightning! Would put the Leafs within 1 of Florida with a game in hand and 4 points up on Sens/Lightning.

The Leafs will pass Florida tonight and still have 2 games in hand. I expect Florida to lose to St. Louis.

10pm start... I'm afraid I'm not going to be catching much of this game.

I missed the 3rd period on Tuesday, just couldn't stay awake (no reflection on the excitement of the game btw I'm just out cold by 11pm or so) so tonight is going to be rough.

I'll probably make it to about the 5 minute mark of period 2.

 

[ZEBROA]

Someone been in here reading . Hope the Nylander Tavares Marner line works

O'Dog is not impressed with loading up the line.

 

[GoonieFace]

O'Dog is not impressed with loading up the line.

Agreed, should have just left Tavares-Nylander-Patches and put Marner with McMann and whoever. Maybe Bérubé was scared to do that.

 

[Niagara Bill]

Why oh why do we continually give Domi chance after chance. No other player with his stats would get first line minutes. McMann should be there. Domi cannot play D well enough to get 3rd or 4th line winger. He is no better than Robertson but Robertson has more points.

 

[therealkoho]

It seems like the few posters who care more about Marner than the team want him with Matthews, while the people more focused in the team prefer them apart.

Yeah no

You've got $3.8mx4 invested in him. You can't trade him. Need to find a way to get him out of his funk. Same thing they have been doing with 44.
