GDT: Maple Leafs vs Capitals

[Nylander88]

We're not gonna be able to afford Mikheyev next season at this rate are we? I guess it's time to move Kerfoot in the offseason

Easily affordable in my opinion. Playing on a good team, getting top 6 time....you're talking about a guy that is likely to still not hit 40 points. He's an asset and I think we all want to keep him at this point. But I don't think he'll break the bank. And it's looking more and more like he'd want to stay here now that he's been given opportunity as an all situations player. Playing next to JT, or trusted on line 3 as an important shutdown unit, still a PK specialist, getting PP time this year.... I think 3 mil is all it would take to keep him. Account for the fact he makes 1.65, and Engvall makes 1.25....you unload Kerfoot and that's their raises taken care of. Promote Robertson or Anderson next year on the cheap or go bargain bin shopping. I didn't think he's unobtainable

And the sens and ducks have both come back to take the lead

 

[CelticDruid]

This has to be Tavares easiest 4 points. No sweat involved

 

[keonsbitterness]

Tavares might've had the easiest 4 pt game I've ever seen lol

Gilmour had a couple of nights like that.

 

[TMLeafer]

Clifford got the memo

 

[bax]

My favourite simmonds game as a leaf.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Boston and Tampa both losing 2-3 in their games.

 

[ToneDog]

Unless kase has something to say our 4th line going into the playoffs is set.

 

[Nylander88]

Offer Spezza a job in Leafs management...this 4th line needs to stay intact

 

[fahad203]

Clifford got the memo

Beauty game by him

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Honestly lets just enjoy this absolute shalacking, Campbell will figure it out, he literally has too.

So lets just enjoy the boys and this very one sided victory.

Remind me of this fight, except the caps don't have half the heart.

If we end up with Spezza, Abruzzese or Robertson, ima scream.

 

[IrishInOntario]

Tavares with, possibly, the quietest 4 point night I've ever seen lol.

Leafs will still need to sign Sandin and Liljegren and replace Kase, not to mention Campbell (who, regardless of his 2022 calendar year, is still going to command more than 1.65M, and you're not replacing him in the system with Woll/Kallgren behind Mrazek).

It's not going to be as simple as finding money on the current roster to pay for Mikheyev's raise.

 

[AuraSphere]

Tavares getting phantom points, 2nd assists doing nothing leading to a 4 pt night - crazy

 

[RunItBackAgain]

Love how Clifford took Wilson out of the second period and we ran the score up on them. Then laid a solid hit on him a minute ago. Great game from the 4th line and Blackwell has been flying out there!

I hope so. Keefe knows what they bring, the. players know what they bring, the fans know what they bring.

A much needed element in a playoff atmosphere in a couple of weeks.

 

[Nylander88]

Glad so many people have suddenly come around on Clifford-Blackwell-Simmonds after just shy of two games together.
BuT theYrE SLoWwwwW lol
Don't look slow at all when playing a game tailored to their skill sets. Yeah they don't play possession hockey like the rest of the team. It's a refreshing change of pace to throw at the opposition. Into your corner, and on your ass

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Tavares has been great on the cycle today, quiet 4 points but he’s been good

 

[Leaf Rocket]

dont look now but....

Sens leading over bruins 3-2
Ducks leading over tampa 3-2

they aren't us...they'll pull off a comeback.

 

[Warden of the North]

Matty never going to score again

 

[TMLeafer]

Bah lost that one

Ahahaha...I love fans sometimes...

 

[Leaf Rocket]

[All Mod Cons]

Not towards the middle Jack.
