GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Al14]

We stink!

Muzzin with Dermott. He'll have played on every pairing now.

I wonder if that is by design.

Johnsson-Nylander-Brown should be fun.

You give Babcock way too much credit. As much coaching experience as the guy has, he sure does make some head scratching decisions.  And of course, veterans can do no wrong. 

 

[lc9]

With the run the bruins are on it might on be bad to slide into a wild card spot and let MTL deal with Boston.  Leafs matchup way better with Tampa and anyone from the metropolitan.

 

[ZBBM]

Hypothetically if Nylander gets a nice run at center do we look at trading Kadri in the offseason?  It might be the one decent argument for keeping Nylander and Matthews apart.

I'd probably still hold onto Kadri for the next two years at least given the general lack of centre depth in our prospect pool and the desire I share with the coach to have basically two centres per line.

I don't disagree.  Just spitballing for discussion. 

Kadri for a top 4 defenseman in a package seems like more fun to talk about than Zaitsev + a 2nd for table scraps.

Something like this might have to happen.

Lol Muzzin goes from top pair to bottom pair in 11 games. Give it another week and Babcock will be healthy scratching him

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Well that was something.

 

[herman]

Fun start

My nightmare is a Babcock extension.  Would be very leaf esque.

Leafs have to finish on that 2 on 1.

This will have to wait until the minutes roll in after a handful more games, but my guess is we are looking at 3 2nd pairings.

On replay, that net couldn?t have been more wide open for Marleau. 

 

[herman]

Willy being Willy

 

[herman]

Muzzin with Rielly for the matchup shift.

8-44
51-23
2-22

Leafs are the better team thus far, but nothing to show for it yet...

 

[Zee]

Marner hasn't looked as dominant as he was earlier in the season 

 

[Highlander]

Marner hasn't looked as dominant as he was earlier in the season

Marners agent cursed him

 

[lc9]

This offense has been stagnant.

 

[Zee]

Marners agent cursed him

I mean he's still picking up points but I don't see those "wow" moments where he was just dominant and tilting the ice all the time

 

[ZBBM]

Goaty with a breakawayyyyyyyyyyyynotinhisrepertoire.
