Post-Game Talk: Studlarz > Swayboy -- Leafs win 4-0

[Fogelhund]

Who wants a trophy named after Deer piss?

Molson =

LOL

I was joking that maybe Matthews was the problem, indirectly maybe he was part of the problem, perhaps the team was deferring too much to Matty on the PP, he has the best shot and the goal is to score...soooo perhaps it was a case of being too predictable on the PP?

He's been part of the problem this year. Whatever the injury is, it's affected his shot... and he's been ineffective, but they keep trying to go to him.

I was told Marner has a weak shot, slow skater and does not adhere to an off season workout/nutrition program and is the ill's of everything Leafy, the graphic must have been wrong.

That’s old news, the special insight crew has now moved on to assists being worthless

They’re going to be the death of this board. You can already see the stupidity driving people away.

Marnerites and there echo chamber view points are far more likely ruin this place, can’t wait till he’s playing elsewhere and hopefully taking his disciples with him………

I don't know who told you that. Who called Marner a slow skater?
Weak shot? Yes.
Offseason workout/nutrition? No idea.

The problem with Marner is his contract demands more than anything. Is it worth paying him 12M+ for a player who's not physical, scared of physical contact, not a strong threat to score and easily intimidated? My answer to that is no.

I think the Leafs would do better going with two 6M+ (or McDavid if he reaches UFA) players that offer more scoring throughout the lineup. Especially since Matthews showed us last season his production didn't drop even with extended periods without Marner.

Goes to show what this team is capable of when there head space is right

No Matthews but instead of differing to him they took it upon themselves to get the win and our best players played like it

Goaltending was A+, Marner looked like the best RW in the game, special teams turned up, all our best stood up

Proud of that performance

Robertson best game last night

Knies needs to park his big bodyon̈ the PP in front the net like last night tips and screening the goaltender..they were showing on the PP finally.

How does Berube use the goalies this weekend and next Weds/Thursday?

I’d go Stolarz, Woll, Stolarz, Woll

Or do you give Woll night one and hope a fresh Stolarz bails you out in game 2?

In the short term, it helps a team to adopt a pack mentality and just be in the position to be mission focused, vs looking to a lead dog that’s struggling. Seems to be the dynamic the past 3 games Matthews has missed vs Boston going back to last year.

They seem to want the responsibility for winning games when Matthews isn't there to defer to

They need to think like that when Matthew's is playing, we'd be miles more dangerous

The gold standard is your best player leading the charge but the troops are firing on all cylinders too. So like last night's effort, but Matthews is ahead of the pack.
