GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs at Winnipeg Jets, Saturday January 27th

[rumman]

What's Reaves more likely to do this game; score a goal or fling himself into the boards or goalpost again and take another paid vacation?

put him on the power play, tell him to screen the goalie, power play is struggling anyways...........

 

[Duffman955]

Reaves fighting someone takes 1 useful player away from the jets, and possibly injures them

That's what I'm hoping for

 

[All Mod Cons]

I've got a really really good feeling about Tavares tonight.

3 shots on goal

Jets probably realize that the trade off is not worth it and won't engage him.

Heading down to the game. Wearing my lucky Cujo jersey.

Go Leafs Go

Please get a "Matthews' better!" chant going.

Jets fans are so cute lol

Better yet "where's Laine" chant

Giving Reaves another chance is awful. Treliving not only screwed up in a major way, he doesn't seem remotely interested in correcting his mistakes

 

[verdi]

Matthews will light them up.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Matthews will light them up.

He's on fire

 

[ToneDog]

Matthews will light them up.

They scored 2 goals against Daccord and an undermanned Kraken team, followed by no goals in regulation against an undermanned Jets' team playing their backup. I can't see t him/hem lighting up Helley who does not get lit up much.

Who is the next callup from the Marlies then? Is there anyone they can recall? Otherwise Reaves it is, for now.

Wouldn't a "Laine's better" be a dandy though....

The only forwards they have cap space to call up right now (assuming Jarnkrok is only an IR injury and Woll can be retroactively placed on LTIR to clear a bit of cap space) are Gambrell, Abruzzese and Clifford. They can't call up anyone making more than 800k.

Can we just talk about the next game, instead of forever looking backwards with every thread? Who gives a

about these people obsessed with past managers. Jeez, move on already, and have a normal conversation without trying to make it a filing of grievances... like just drop the whole thing.

Well, that is rather redundant, I mean, by your logic you don't care about ever winning a cup in your life time ' I don't know how old you are' but us passionate Leaf fans that have watched and been a loyal fan to this team their whole lives, having not seen this team win a cup, are absolutely allowed to be pissed off and call a spade a spade.

Good mocking one for sure

 

[Rare Jewel]

Like in the playoffs, winning back-to-back against the same opposition is tough; they better be "on," or it'll be another Vancouver-like game.

 

[Mitch nylander]

I don’t get the ‘fans’ who want the guy to fail.
It gives the appearance that they rather the new GM fail than the team have success. Pretty weird.

Exactly. Yes he had a rough spell. But he also had some nice games at the start.

Cheering for him to have a good bounce back game.

 

[PromisedLand]

I am just absolutely stoked to see Reaves in the line up tonight. Lets GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

REAVO, REAVO, REAVO, REAVO, REAVO

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Cheering for him to have a good bounce back game.

As long as he doesn't bounce himself off the boards again he'll be ok. If he can throw some big hits on the forecheck and keep the undermanned Jets on their toes he could be an asset. He needs to improve on his 13-2 goal differential though. Would be nice if he or Kampf got one going into the break. We need an effective 4th line our 3rd is so unreliable.

 

[Enga Olly]

Jets board already crying about the officiating tonight. Pre-emptive excuses. I suppose Toronto is to blame for they being Winnipeg too

 

[PromisedLand]

Just FYI Tavares's last 10 games; 1 point.

Seriously, how can you have 1 lousy assist in 10 games playing on our PP!? Those are Richard Wallin numbers.

But Reaves on the 4th line is the biggest issue didn't you know?

As a fan how can you not?
