Post-Game Talk: NICKY BOBBY FOR THE WIN! | 3-2 Leafs in OT

[Dreakmur]

Horrific call. If this is not a push from Seguin there are no pushes in hockeyView attachment 597010.

If the rule was whether he pushed the goalie, you’d have an excellent point….

 

[Gabriel426]

Imagine Robbie-AM-Willie on a line together. We would actually have three guys who can score on the same line.
Reunited JT and MM then add Bunting, that’s a pretty good line too.

He pushed Marner into Samsonov as you can see by the image I posted.

 

[MarMarSab3]

I was also at the game. The crowd was dead.

That it was. Only time it got loud was during those "make noise" encouraged moments.

 

[5mokey]

a kerfoot nylander robertson line might be interesting... although maybe a bit too small

Put Mathew’s between them, then you got 2 first lines. Bunting, Tavares, Marner the other.

 

[123offtheglass]

Robertson's first goal really impressed me. Took the hit from Benn like it was nothing, got away with space & rifled it.

The kids matured, he was a difference maker tonight.

 

[Shooter2x]

Marner being a slow starter is his own fault. Tavares needs to drag this guy out of bed in summer and take him to the gym.

It is annoying how unphased Marner is by all the losses (playoffs). I don't care that he's not down on it, I care that Eye of the Tiger theme song isn't playing through his head 24/7 because of it. This isn't a hobby dude, eat breathe sleep it.

How soft is this team that it trained us to think that was a hard push. It was a goal 100% zero controversy around it.

 

[Warden of the North]

Leafs first goal was a perfect example of what I've been saying.

Tavares messes up the PP twice. As soon as he is off, Jarnkrok does what the center is supposed to do - screen the goalie. This allows a good shot from the defence, the goalie loses sight of the puck, and we score.

I think the comment I heard the most in the game was 'Tavares loses the puck'.

They really have to get JT away from Robertson and Nylander.

Robertson - Kerfoot - Nylander or
Robertson - Nylander - Jarnkrok

Tavares with Kerfoot/Jarnkrok/Engvall/Malgin would be a good third line.

I'd prefer to keep the Matthews line together, as we know they will be deadly once they find their groove.

This is absurd.

Tavares has been our best forward so far

 

[Niagara Bill]

Welcome to 33rd floor of any office tower in downtown.

 

[CanHeDoIt99]

Got to split up that 4th line because its genuinely getting crushed out there. Kampf and Engvall have always worked well together - I'd move Engvall down to the 4th line and scratch one of ZAR/NAK. Play Malgin (or Steeves) with Kerfoot and Jarnkrok.

Robertson won't play another game in the AHL (unless it's a conditioning stint or something alike).

 

[Jojalu]

This is absurd.

Tavares has been our best forward so far

I would argue it has been Nylander but a case could be made for JT.

The hope for me is that when the first line gets going Willy and JT don't drop off.

 

[TMLAM34]

Robertson had quite the season debut. I knew his shot was good but didn’t know it was that good. The kid is finally here to stay.

 

[Dekes For Days]

What a game for the kid! After he scored, he looked dynamic. Best I've seen him look.

Great defensive play in OT to start the rush too.

 

[fancy lad]

f***ing Robertson wow! Should have been up after training camp, but maybe the lost week just added more motivation.

I don't know why it's so automatic that Malgin is the cast away.... neither of the fourth line guys are bringing anything. Aube-kubel and auston-reese. I have yet to see them play with any overt physicality and if they're not doing that then what is their purpose? I don't know why their inclusion is automatic. Simmonds would be bringing more to the team.

 

[Nineteen67]

He pushed Marner into Samsonov as you can see by the image I posted.

It was clearly the correct call.

 

[Nineteen67]

The Leafs better get the PP fixed. That probably means a permanent ban of Keefe in PP room. 8 or 9 PPs, one gift in the final minutes, and can’t put the game away.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Imagine Robbie-AM-Willie on a line together. We would actually have three guys who can score on the same line.
Reunited JT and MM then add Bunting, that’s a pretty good line too.

I’m open to reuniting JT and Marner. Ppl forget that in 18-19 our top line of Hyman-Tavares-Marner was one of the best lines in franchise history.

 

[Cournoyer12]

I’m assuming Mr. Robertson will no longer be a healthy scratch! About time!!!

 

[MarioLeMoose]

Anyone else rush to add Robertson to their fantasy team?

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

What a game.

Man that secondary scoring will be huge if he can keep it up. I know RD is an obvious weakness, but I've been thinking the last couple years that we need more threats. Nick could be that guy.

He looks heavier than we've seen him in the past, harder to push around.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Marner being a slow starter is his own fault. Tavares needs to drag this guy out of bed in summer and take him to the gym.

It is annoying how unphased Marner is by all the losses (playoffs). I don't care that he's not down on it, I care that Eye of the Tiger theme song isn't playing through his head 24/7 because of it. This isn't a hobby dude, eat breathe sleep it.

Marner is incredibly annoying, agreed. He was my favorite player almost instantly when we got him (and I still love him when he plays like he can) but that attitude ... easily the most punchable face on the team. Easily!

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Robertson	Matthews	Nylander
Bunting	Tavares	Marner
Malgin	Kerfoot	Jarnkrok
Engvall	Kampf	ZAR/NAK

Thoughts? I want to see AM with another elite shooter - defenders are cheating while defending him, but Mitch and Bunts can't beat a goalie with their shots.

 

[Metroid]

Anyone else rush to add Robertson to their fantasy team?

Picked him up when Murray when down, but left him on the bench this week cuz Keefe didn't wanna play him vs the yotes.

Gotta give that punchable face credit when credit is due - Mitch shot the puck extremely well last season.
