Watching players individually -

Thoughts:
Webber - His stride is atrocious. He won't be able to play at this level if that isn't fixable.
Reaves - Honestly looks good. Playing with some jump.
Grebenkin - He's gonna be good. Give it time. He's patient, great hands. He's made nice plays.
Patches - Not sold If he can still skate at this level. He seems a little slow.
Cowan/Quillian - Have not seen enough ice to make an opinion.

Yes I know, can I still not say Liljegren looks awful out there? I get they’re all a little rusty but for someone who we all know is fighting for a spot in the lineup, game 1 matters.

His last shift was ok. The whole team looks pretty rough.

The excuses for the Leafs awful effort tonight are aplenty

I just don’t get how this group can’t just come out and play a meaningless game hard, have some fun and success and go home happy, business as usual and feel good having made a good first impression. It’s just inexplicable how disinterested they seem to be in doing a job well when it isn’t required.

Grebenkin and Knies will end up being our top two LW's and Cowan will end up our 2c in a few years. Those three are looking good.

Following the Marner special drop pass...Marner with the impressive giveaway shortly later, literally a cross ice pass directly to the opponent, a forced pass that wasnt there.

I'm sure Berube is gonna be working these risky plays out of his game. Reminds me of Quinn and Wellwood.

If there's any time to do that, it's now.

Gunna be a long 4 years with OeL
Maybe they front that with a domi tavares nylander line. Nylander is top 6 winger on our earth planet. Then we would have a knies matty hatty marner too upfront. We dont need three lines. Just two. The other too lines can just play D and stunt that show on. Hit.

It’s a preseason game, yada yada. But historically the problem with this group is they always seem to be saving it for when it really matters and end up playing down to the moment. Only for when it really matters they can’t elevate. You only get one chance to make a first impression. And it’s a bit shit, isn’t it?
I agree with this 100%. If they can’t be bothered to show up and put in a dam effort pre season or not it’s pathetic.
I hope Berube bag skates them tomorrow until they puke
