    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Looking to get back into the win column with a full complete effort. Lines from practice are below, personally think this is the best it's going to get for the Leafs


I would argue that taking Kampf out weakens our kill. It's marginal though.

We saw last game that when chasing the game, we want Marner/Matthews fresh so ideally we are using the Laughton's, Kampf's and Lorentz's..
 
So, barring injury on defence, Myers is not going to dress?

Was benoithat much better that the Leafs feel it’s necessary to have a LHD-LHD 3rd pairing, forcing OEL to his right, instead of a LHD-RHD 3rd pairing?

There is a significant drop off in OEL’s play when he’s put on the right side.

Seems so odd that they’ve committed so deeply to Benoit after moving Timmins.

Hopefully Laughton decides this is the game to show up and validate what the Leafs feel he brought that merited them trading a 1st for him.

Very much hoping he turns the corner and shows us how much value he has to offer.

I think part of it is that they're still using Rielly-OEL as an offensive start pair sometimes and then go Benoit-Carlo as a defensive pair.
 
The Blues won a cup with less than 70 games coached by him...

They got worse the longer he coached them.

Does this not worry anyone about his systems?
Regardless if St. Louis got worse under him later on, he was able to get the best out the team when it mattered the most. Hopefully he can do the same here.

His system are old school style, in a month or so we will see if there's justification for running it. At the very least, Toronto has been playing in a "playoff system" for the entire year, they should be used to it. Where as Keefe would run a puck possession system up until game 1, and they would suddenly change their system to collapse and dump the puck in..
 
If I had to make a game time decision I would prefer a healthy Patches over Holmberg once playoffs start. Even if on the 4th Line.

That's my gut instinct. He plays a heavier game and brings some intensity, somethign I didn't anticipate when they picked him up.
 

The players and management are lucky they can't hear all the F Bombs dropped by fans over the last 10 years alone lol. Good for him to let them hear it, these are well paid professionals who are Demigods playing in Toronto at least give back as much passion as your fans do.

Berube knows that he has the horses in regards to talent but they lack the Honeybadger mentality.
 
Konecy has been cold as a witches tit since 4 nation's and almost tanked my first place regular season finish in fantasy. Lol
I expect him to go off this week as I have a bye in first round of playoffs lol

Tonight will be the perfect night for him to get off the Schnide hahaha
 
If the Leafs win, mods need to allow politicial discussions
