GDT: St Louis @ Toronto - 7pm - TSN

[Cleetus]

just throwing a totally new idea here, why not try Nylander at Center?

 

[Blanka]

who is volunteering to play home wrecker?

 

[Antropovsky]

Matthews has been a difference maker…

For the other team. God awful for us

100% agreed.

 

[Craig Button]

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

Both are better at playing center than Matthews

 

[therealkoho]

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.

So is the Capatain going to blame fatigue on tonight's effort? I really really hope not.

LL Cool J.... I got his cassette from Columbia House back in the day

 

[Rare Jewel]

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

Wow... sounds painful and inconvenient, sorry about that.

Best of luck.

 

[supermann_98]

I'm at the game, 14 rows back.

$10.94m has been absolutely invisible. Not worth even $10m if you ask me

 

[Stephen]

Honestly...

His worst mistake was deciding to be a Defenseman.
His play only excels going forward on attack

Nothing goes as smooth when its east west skating backwards looking for plays

Leafs having such absolute SH*T D for 8 years with DUBAS DOOFUS made him look good playing with the 3 Amigos

Rielly physically reminds me of Nathan Mackinnon a bit. Kind of a wider, average height guy who has that bowling ball speed when he's really chugging along, so sometimes I wonder what he would have been like as a high work rate winger who just goes north south and bumps around a bit.

When he was young I thought he needed that off speed game to be able to control the pace of the game, that's what great number one defensemen have. Slow it down and calm the waters when you need to, dictate the pacing from the back end. He is not capable of that.

 

[Smif]

because the top 6 takes all the cap

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

Surprised people still feel the need to inform others of this. WE KNOW.

 

[Cleetus]

K time to flip the script 40 mins here lets get it going

 

[Stephen]

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'm not going to single out Mitch for tonight. There's a lot of midweek junk from all of them.

 

[fahad203]

Craig Berube once got us Doug Gilmour

Tell row 13 I said "Hey!"

Hey man pull the reins back on that talk, that's HamiltonNHLs shtick.

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

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.

You discovered floss?

 

[fahad203]

Great pass by Nylander. Matthews had many chances

 

[RomanianLeafs]

I am at the point I don't care of losing Marner for free...if he does not want a trade I would put him on the third line for the rest of the season

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Crapping a thousand these last 4 periods.

 

[frizzer1]

Is Matthews just having bad luck or is his shot not quite right?

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Jesus Knies

 

[Stephen]

Matthews has been a difference maker…

For the other team. God awful for us

Yep. He's had a few looks offensively but out for the 2 goals. One was a screen but that coverage on the Holloway goal was pretty anemic. I'd put a link to that play every time people start to whisper Selke.

 

[DarkKnight]

That's a penalty all day long.

 

[fahad203]

Marner with great passes

 

[Blanka]

That's a penalty. Time to run him
