GDT: Toronto @ Detroit - Oct 3 7pm SN

[Deadly Dogma]

Nylander is literally garbage

looks like he can't think the game well at speed, just too many bad choices

 

[weems]

McMann needs to start playing better.

Been a non factor so far in camp.

And I don't think he has created a single offensive opportunity. Hell has he had more than 1 shot on net all pre-season?

That’s a shame, I was hoping for him to cement himself with the flashes we have seen from him

 

[ACC1224]

Robertson has definitely made the team at least in a top 9 role, he's battling and winning more battles than he did last year.

Jarnkrok can go.

He was on the team before tonight.
Good to see, hopefully he stays healthy

 

[conFABulator]

It’s preseason nobody cares…

says the guy posting on a pre-season thread.

He is facing an NHL lineup.

He gotta G his thing up sir.thats his game. To be a G. G it up and mae us better. We are the one of the hardest teams this season when healthy and nobody can take that away from us. Some are afraid of oue defensive corps

 

[francis246]

He’s on the team. And should be top 6

They need to put him back with Matthews. Those two has a lot of chemistry

He's PKing which is the only thing Jarnkrok even had on him too lol.

 

[ACC1224]

Lorenz is a beauty.

 

[ToMaLe]

Robertson has the best shot on the Leafs not named Matthews, Jarnkrok can go, brutal.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

He's PKing which is the only thing Jarnkrok even had on him too lol.

That and being a right-handed shot.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Lorentz seems like the kind of player that is going to be playing on our 4th line with Kampf and Dewar by the end of the season and into the playoffs versus Reaves.

Reaves role diminished under Berube before and I could see it occurring again.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I’ve been saying. In the few times they’ve out there together Robertson seems to find the back of the net. Teams cheat towards Matthews and that leaves Robertson wide open to rip it home, which he’s shown a high aptitude for.

If Robertson is able to keep winning puck battles, it gives Marner 2 options to finish.

I think that’s more the Coach challenging him than a role they’re looking for him to fill.
Good on the kid. I was never a fan but he’s winning me over.

Same, it's made the line up a bit harder to draw up. I've liked the Holmberg that has shown up to camp, more of a pest, winning battles, involved.

Lorentz is also awesome and it seems like they kinda did a handshake deal with Patches...

Robertson-Matthews-Marner
Knies-JT-88
Patches-Domi-McMann
Dewar-Kampf-Reaves
Holmberg, Lorentz

Jarnkrok traded.

Rielly-Tanev
OEL-McCabe
Benoit-Liljegren
Hakanpaa

Timmins waived/traded

I think he can contribute from the third line, but he’s looked incredibly average so far. Maybe he’s just out of sync, or it’s my imagination, but he looks a bit slower.

Exactly. Robertson, that is an example of a thug. We need thugs. A pitbull in a shitzu body sire.

Wonder how bad his sprained MCL was?

On average, you should expect to be in recovery mode for 3-12+ weeks. If you have a grade 1 MCL sprain, you could fully recover within as little as 3 weeks. If you have a grade 2-3 MCL sprain, you can expect to need at least 4+ weeks to recover.

I've never really been impressed with McMann tbh. IMO he's a fringe NHL'er that got hot late last year.

does Jarnkrok HAVE to go? Could we waive Dewar and Lorentz? and run

I'd rather keep Dewar and Lorentz than Jarnkrok but that is just me.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Good shift.

Why? Both Dewar and Lorentz do the same thing but also add some grit.
