Xenforo Cloud is doing server maintenance Thurdsay 13th at 9 AM GMT. Downtime is to be expected during the process. Server changes were implemented recently to cope with the traffic surge last week. This seems to be affecting the user login, so please anyone experiencing this, log out and clear the browser cache. We expect to have this issue solved once the maintenance is complete.

This is a huge game. Which usually means they will not show up in the 1st. Catch up in the 2nd to make it somewhat close but still lose.
I hope not. 1st in the Atlantic is a must

I hate Tavares and Nylander and Marner Matthews together for a full season. First 25 or so ok, but after that please alternate. And not only because of injury.

This is simple, and really don't have to have fairy dust to make it happen.
Knies-Matthews-Marner
Jarnkrok-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Laughton-McMann
Lorentz/Holmberg-Kampf-Domi
It isn't like Domi is blowing away Robertson in the production department.
McMann can play either side.

3 more games with the Panthers, these will decide first place most likely. Funniest “down the stretch” in awhile.
Such a horrible analogy. Not even close.

I think McMann and Robertson compliment each other, I'd dump Domi down and make that my third line, least give it a chance. Our fourth isn't a shutdown anyways, it's just a low activity minute filler.

This makes sense. I can’t believe some think Domi should be moved up the lineup, that seems like such a bad idea.

Knocking Nylander’s time on ice from 20 minutes to about 12, isn’t the best use of 11.5 million cap space

I don't think Reaves is ever coming back to this team, other than being called up for the playoffs to sit in the press box when the cap doesn't apply.

I think he just put the lines in the wrong order
McMann-Tavares-Marner
Knies-Laughton-Nylander
Robertson-Matthews-Domi

I prefer Matthews and Marner running their own lines. I also hate Tavares with Nylander. Too many defensive headaches.
I haven’t been paying too much attention while watching games lately but I’ll be tuned into this one for sure. Would love to see them dominate a good team like the Avs did to us.
Biggest game of the year so far and each of these games against the Florida teams will be pivotal.

The Leafs will win, but I'm not sure "dominate" is an apt description for any game in the NHL these days.
Why is it not even close are you suggesting Hes better ? Or he thinks he’s better? Cause if it’s the latter night wing is fine

just win the game
i've tried thinking of different combinations of wins we could get after the game that i would be satisfied with, but after 2 or 3 attempts I realized I just want to win this game and then see what happens.
Florida is shorthanded on D (No Ekblad) just like we are. Now obviously Tanev means more but they are also missing Tkachuk.
Absolutely no reason to get creammed like last time against the panthers.
I don't care if the goaltending is godly or shit, the forwards need to do their job and actually outplay a team. It's a tough ask as they can barely outplay the sharks, but you can't just win games by the skin of your teeth due to goaltending everytime.
I'd prefer a 4-1 type game but I am not opposed to a 6-3 type win either (I'll take any type of win what am I going on about lol)

Watch the tying goal by Drouin against Colorado. Plays like that are why he continues to draw the short straw.

meh colorado outshot us like 19-39
they out expected goaled us 1.9-3.9
they out possessed us
tbh I couldn't think of a single aspect we even came close to them in, maybe both goalies shat the bed just as hard
Berube seems to have a love on for Holmberg. To be fair, he has been better since the break, but I'm not really getting the Robertson scratching here.
