This post is laughable though too. Imagine crapping on Benoit who's simply out playing Lil at the moment. Lil was horseshit tonight, he deserved third pairing minutes.
Too? Thanks for agreeing with me. Also lets be honest, Benoit would be playing more even if performance was equal. The Leafs masterclass development system. Anyways if your happy with the trend of young d man failing to reach promise, you be my guest.
Between Darko, Keefe and Mike Van Ryn, I'm starting to think Toronto sports teams should just give up on coaches altogether.
Agreed. And f*** Liljegren's feelings. Sick of trading away players because they are feeling sad. Either get better Timmy or deal with the consequences.
Who said anyone is happy, you just come off really small crapping on Benoit, who's playing fantastic hockey for us. You need to get over stuff, Lill for years, you still have freaking Hunter as an avatar and he left six years ago, still fighting the Nylander Marner battles, like move on. I just can't talk anything you say seriously here, it's all agenda, all the time. Lil hasn't been misused, he has been given top four the last two years, if he's faltering that's on him. It's a shame too, because we need him. He hasn't evolved, either have you apparently. Benoit/McCabe is one of the few bright spots on D, but you be you.
Van Ryan isn't on their level. Too early even though he's been pretty bad so far, but the other two yeah we need replacements.
He can't handle pressure, he panics and treats the puck like a grenade. He's fine with space, but so is everyone, he needs to buckle down and make smart plays, not crazy off the boards survival mode. That's why his minutes are down, not because the world is against him. He looks a 6 atm.
Please you aren't fooling anyone. Your only issue with those topics is which side I stand on. If I supported Marner more, you would have no issues. If I liked Hunter, no issues from you. If I was anti Liljegren, you would have you gussed it no issues. The team hasn't evolved and neither have you.
And thanks for proving my point. It took 10 seconds.
Doesn’t help when your coach publicly calls you out and ignores everyone else’s miscues ie Brodie mccabe rielly gio like look at the play Brodie doesn’t blocc the shot and then screens sammy to boot
For sure they could and likely will but it’s just that one comes with the expectations of a first round pick and one is Beniot
I saw one Toronto writer had access to advanced stats and the overall best D man on the Leafs up to the break, by both defensive and offensive contributions, has been Lilly.
Lets not exaggerate, here. I love Benoit and what hes doing but he literally threw a muffin down the ice, tape to tape to dallas for a scoring chance just today.
Good post to keep things in perspective
It's odd Keefe will literally breakup any pair but Brodie-Rielly. That pair hasn't been good either mainly Brodie but still.
False big time
It’s funny cause benoit is good for one a game but he plays hard and he’s physical he’s not the best at stretch passes but that’s okay give them the time to get better
Rielly succed for the whole year after coming bacc from that he turned his season around in the playoffs
I think that says a lot about advanced stats. Advanced stats also tried to sell us the story Benoit wasn't an NHL dman.
