GDT: St Louis @ Toronto - 7pm - TSN

[horner]

Edmonton made a mistake not matching Broberg .
You could see in the playoffs he was going to be good not this good 7 pts in 8 games..
The thought the needed more offense Skinner and they got slower.

Perimeter hockey in the 1st. Why can't they never work the puck up to the points, crowd front of the net and then look for tips, rebound goals, etc...

I mean the "lessons" learning period is long over ffs

That’s not Berube hockey

 

[notbias]

When you have 4 of the top 12 cap hits in the nhl, it’s hard to spread the wealth

Do we have the least expensive goalies? That's got to make up for something.

Probably spend the same on depth as someone like Florida for example.

St.Louis has some really fast players. I take it they are afraid of deflection the other way

Blues did that consistent with Peiterangelo at the point. Heck even Parayko was offensively decent during those times

 

[3blizzard4]

We suck again.

Live thread?

 

[DarkKnight]

I should be good. I have a fissure so I have to keep the stool soft for the rest of my life basically.

 

[Cleetus]

Live thread?

this team does not deserve live thread status lol

 

[blue stick]

He got married. He's done.

who is volunteering to play home wrecker?

 

[Stephen]

This doesn’t look like north south hockey. It looks like the same old soft perimeter shit.

It's also unfortunate they came out like this for Berube against his former team. Tell us you care all you want, but when this kind of F game, the apathy is so deep in their DNA they probably don't even know it's there. Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Rielly, all on you.

 

[PromisedLand]

Bottom 6 is just not good

because the top 6 takes all the cap

Leafs are the only team in the entire league with 4 forwards at 11AAV+

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Nah they never commit to a philosophy. MM does not match Berube for instance. Always one foot in one foot out

MM does NOT match Berube. MM is a figure skater, Berube wants North South.

Something has to give there, and I hope it favours Berube, because the Mitch Marner perimiter play is not going to win a cup. Simple as that.

No way I can stomach paying Mitch the $12m miniumum he's going to hold out for. Let him walk.

I think the Caps have that between Lindgren $1.1 million and Thompson at $767,000.

Reminds one of a Nylander flamingo from years gone by

 

[keonsbitterness]

Good news that period: I cleared the obstruction between my back teeth that was inflaming my gums for the last few days. So we've got that going for us.

That'd definitely be hard to beat, you are likely right, but we have to be bottom 5 at least.

 

[Stephen]

They emptied their tank on Monday and will take a week or two to recover.

They don't start taking things seriously until November anyway.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

This team is so perimeter. I hope Berube can break this habit.

The players are what they are. They're not going to suddenly change something that has gotten them paid more than their comparables in the league and God-like ass kissing status from the "toughest market in the league". They have no reason to.

 

[fahad203]

There will be plenty of hitters like Trouba.
He's nothing special.

 

[Blanka]

He got married 3 years ago?

 

[leafan11]

We only have 1 top center. Domi and Tavares are third line centers at this point.

 

[therealkoho]

Dreger proving once again what total fraud he is

 

[Antropovsky]

I can't watch Marners soft perimeter play anymore. Probably the softest player in the league.

Zero compete.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

This team is so perimeter. I hope Berube can break this habit.

I'm REALLY hoping he is still evaluating.................
