Play Marner enough to get 100

Don't want B.S that he can't hit 100 again due to injuries/COVID/rest(2021-2023)

Who cares.

Winning internet arguments aren't worth possible injury/fatigue.

oh yes they are!

im pretty sure either matthews and marner would love playoff success more than 100 point regular season points.

 

[ULF_55]

oh yes they are!

Cup or Individual Bragging rights all the way!

And for a good measure X-Stats Supreme.

marner has been on quite a heater ... all year ;-).

 

[shaner8989]

Kind of a joke wasting minutes with Simmonds. He’s garbage he’s old and has no future. Stupid move

Just presents for old guys signing for peanuts.

Leafs will treat them well, even if they're contributing very little.

No reason not to strive to achieve both.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Mitch had a fairly normal outing of 21:50 last night while Matthews played 69 more seconds, I really don't think anybody got over played except Samsonov who was credited with 60:00 full minutes which really means that the Senator penalty occurred when they had possession and Keefe I guess because we had the lead saw no reason to pull him for the extra attacker.

Seems a bit high to me, all I can say is I hope that what Keefe is doing is in line with what our medical staff considers optimal but ... seems high.

No reason not to strive to achieve both.

Actually, there is very good reason not to strive for both. Hockey is a team game, and therefore team goals are the only ones that matter. Do you job, play well, help the team win and the individual accomplishments will happen naturally but individual numbers like goals, assists and whatever else should never be what players strive for.

trying to win internet arguments is all leafs fans have.

hopefully that'll change at some point in the next 50 years.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Wonder if they play the uh, nedeljkovic against us and is he on Midol?

 

[LeafSteel]

Nice to see Timmins draw back in, but please don't tell me after over a month of sitting, in his 1st game back they are going to play him on his offside, at LHD???

At least put Brodie on LHD if the ever-magnificent Hollsy absolutely cannot take a game off and free up some room on RHD......

Honestly, I'm watching the game to see Liljegren and Timmins. Absolutely cannot wait for the regular season to end. Next thing there is to look forward to is finally seeing Knies draw into the lineup before the playoffs.

Definitely dog-days of the season, where the best thing that can happen is a win without injuries, and our future guys looking good.

Said it before and I will say it again, with Jarnkrok delivering, it sure feels like we are watching the Michael Bunting Farewell Tour right now.......

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Do right handed defensemen ever practice playing the left side? They're usually outnumbered by the left handed shots and always play their strong side.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Is yall expecting uh, kind of a difficult game with this lineup?

No sire. We're more gangsta than those Red Wangs

 

[kevsh]

Too bad Mitch is out.
He's probably still looking good to hit the century mark in points but with only a handful of games left it'll make it a bit less certain.

 

[Leafsfan74]

I am assuming 95% of our team has bumps and bruises

Agreed, but now would be the time to start managing minutes and/or lineups for rest purposes.

im pretty sure either matthews and marner would love playoff success more than 100 point regular season points.

We would hope anyway...

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

No sire. We're more gangsta than those Red Wangs

We certainly is!!! now lets rumble in this H

 

[Confucius]

Go 12-6 and roll all the lines, no reason to see Matthews/Marner logging 20+

Playoffs are still too far away, have to keep the fitness level up

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Keefe probably resting the guys he is today so they be in better shape once Acciari & O'Reilly get back to better assess what he's got.

On the other hand, I mentioned this on another thread too, both Boston & Tampa will be well rested when we face them this week & next, so things could get pretty tight for home ice.

 

[Teeder Keon]

When we win tonight
And
Possible loss for the Canes
Guess what ?
3 points back from 2nd overall , same amount of GP
GLG

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

They are playing nedeljkovic in goal. And he is not on Midol. I asked.

 

[Fonzieleaf]

It's not like these games don't mean anything, we are still fighting for home ice.

 

[RunItBackAgain]

I'd rest almost all of them against Tampa with 2 games left. Why risk them getting hurt in a get that will surely get physical. Play the other goalie instead of the one you plan to start as well. Dress all our physical guys and play them 18 minutes each. Even if we get caved just run them down all night

100% this. Roll the boys out for warmups and then scratch them all last minute so Tampa can't react either. Run them all night

[Confucius]

Would you rather be a 100 point per season player or a 4th liner who saw little to no ice time on a team that went deep in the playoffs?
