I do not think whatsoever that Marner and Nylander should be swapped back as they appear to be doing. Such lazy line changing. Matthews has been hot since shortly after being put with Nylander. I’d be jumbling the other 7 top nine forwards but leaving Matthews/Nylander together.
No shade to Marner whatsoever, but I don’t know why the coaches are splitting up a working duo.

Yup! This is not the only thing griding my gears
1) Young ones like Knies are there but where is Lily learning from the "leaders"?
2) IMO if there is an optional skate anybody that wears letters on their jersey should always be there unless some family thing, health, or other last minute emergency. Its not like Leafs have had a great playoff record where "leaders" can show up when they want.
3) Keefe's coaching aptitude extends to flipping wingers on tavares and matthews' line. There is no other thing he does. what about creating own depth by putting matthews/marner/nylander or three 11 AAV guys on three different lines? Or improving the defensive structure of the team/systems?
I wonder how many of Matthews' years are gonna be wasted by letting Keefe continue to coach the Leafs

He also assured us Leaf’s will be leading the division by Jan 1 and Boston are not as a good of a team. I guess we will see. Personally the over the top homerism and coming out of nowhere posting all the time screams a rival fan.Wait, what? You're calling for a Leafs victory tonight? I'm shocked I tell ya, absolutely shocked!
Nah, they got embarrassed two nights ago, they’re kicking the crap out CBJ tonight.

Leafs come out flying, get themselves a 3-goal lead or so, then - right on cue - proceed to blow it until Nylander gets the winner in OT.
Though I'd much prefer a less dramatic game, starting with a commitment to solid defense, discipline, 60-minute effort and not hanging the goalie(s) out to dry again. Hey, one can dream.

It’s likely honestly. They don’t slump for long I expect them to go hard tonight.
That’s asking for way too much bud. Try again smaller Santa can only do so much this close to Christmas

What I don’t get is Marner played great for a couple of games away from Matthews and then reverted to his sill fancy dipsy doo’s and whoopty doo’s

As your title says. We will get long D
and have a strong backend like Calgary. Man that all sounded so dirty
You just listed 3 good defensive players (Holl, Kerfoot, Engvall) and a decent one (Bunting) that were replaced by 4 bad defensive players and we are wondering why defensively we look worse?
4 players is over 20% of the nightly roster.

Still bemoaning the fact your beloved Dubas is screwing up another team ?
Nowhere was his name mentioned, nor were any GMs... I swear you people have a weird obsession.
Am I not allowed to point out that we got worse defensively because we got worse defensive players?
I don't even think they were the wrong moves necessarily... but what do people expect to happen?

They really had no choice to extend him. Woll still a question mark at the time, Murray a disaster, he was left without much. I was fine with one year, nobody thought he'd be league worst. I figured Woll would get the job though.
