GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Buffalo Sabres Preseason Game #3

[Stephen]

Yeah I think we need to hold onto Timmins longer to understand what he is.

 

[Leafidelity]

Timmins just produces

 

[MoreMogilny]

Timmins just gets the puck where it needs to go. Either with a crisp pass, a rush, or a strong point shot. Offense from the back end has been a huge need for this team the last few years. Give him every opportunity.

 

[weems]

I think that's the fastest I've ever seen Tavares skate.

Very good sign.

 

[kb]

Yeah, you are right everyone. The Leafs should waive Timmins to get $400k more in cap space.


I forgot the brilliance on here.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Imagine Timmins scored that

 

[Stephen]

Tavares definitely got faster.

 

[kerk]

we're paying klingberg 4 million when timmins was right there the whole time

 

[Macallan18]

4 points in two games.

Keefe won’t notice. He is too dumb

 

[HockeyVirus]

I don't like Lilly running the PP. I think it should be Timmins running it

 

[DarkKnight]

Steeves did something.

Timmins is productive but still raw. Whereas Klingberg has the high end skills package but people are pre-emptively whipping him for no reason.

 

[93gilmour93]

Easton Cowan is going to be a good one down the road

 

[Zonk]

I don't like Lilly running the PP. I think it should be Timmins running it

Am I allowed to ask whether you are still upset about the Curtis Douglas trade?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

With the emergence of Cowan, holmberg, Minten, knies. Steeves seems like such an after thought now

 

[HockeyVirus]

Certainly seems I was wrong about that

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Good play by Cowan there to come back hard and tie up the man

Don’t think Steeves was ever meant to be more than a darkhorse candidate.

Cowan is cheeky like a young Marner.

lol i've been saying this since we signed klingberg, it's not based on his play in the first game. it's just my hill to die on this season.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

I agree, just remember a few years ago he, and abruzesse were seen as our future bottom six depth options

Now we’ve got 3-4 guys with middle 6 potential.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Maybe there is room for both Timmins and Klingberg. If they really wanted more offense from our D, then we would have Rielly, Klingberg, and Timmins on different pairings. They can all make plays and get the puck to the net or into the hands of our forwards in dangerous areas.

 

[horner]

For us to sign Gregor he needs to go through waivers 1st

 

[Cleetus]

yea hes gone than lol

No one ever worried about having 2x 6’3” RHD who can generate offense on the same team. We’re fine with Klingberg and Timmins. They will be useful at different times and if Timmins can establish himself it will make a big difference come spring time.
