2021-22 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

[herman]

Curtis Douglas is hilariously large

Steeves out of the game for the third (injury), so some of the other wingers are getting a rotation with Robertson and Abramov.

 

[Highlander]

Lets call him Kirk Douglas as he could be our Spartacus. Big Gladiator

 

[Arn]

No. Let's not.

Robertson with a good NZ steal (after his own sort of giveaway), to feed Steeves for the opening tally

Robertson's still doing his OHL style toe-drag moves...those kinds of moves will get his clock cleaned in the NHL, and likely benched if he were to try that stuff.

His skating posture has improved though. Dynamic without being at risk of skating his face through farts.

I'm glad to hear that. 

But that hot dog crap will not impress the doctor...the comments from Dr. Wickenheiser were telling him to slow things down and let the play catch up to him.  What he did was try low percentage "try deke out the whole defense to get a better shot" that would result in him getting blown up with AHL or NHL d-men.

I was hoping that he'd display more maturity in his game...a more pro-style game.

I just read on Twitter  that Jim Hughson will not be calling any Leaf
games this year.

Season starting off on a positive note  8)

If he pulls one of these in a game at even strength?

 

[ZBBM]

OK, that was simply ridiculous.

They should have taped the marker to the end of a hockey stick for this exercise. I think it would?ve turned out better.

 

[Highlander]

Auston's ends up like a Saguaro predictably.

What do we think of this?

Looks like he's 29?  Small: 5'9", 163lbs.  In 66 games scored 13-31-44 with a -15 for NJ in 19-20.

Let the Harnarayan Singh era begin, please.

I like him.  I like Cuthbert too but Simpson has to go...he's terrible..Christine would be better.

I give Gusev a lot of credit for this move. After a mediocre covid season and nobody signing him to a contract a month and a half into free agency I don't think anybody would have blamed him for just heading back home and signing a multi-million dollar deal with a KHL deal. I'll be rooting for him, even if he can't crack this group I hope this earns him a spot somewhere.

 

[herman]

Apparently he contracted Covid and had a rough start to last season
The Devils had an outbreak
