Leafs @ Blue Jackets - Mar. 7th, 7:00pm - SN, Fan 590

Simmonds really needs to sit for a game.  Whatever he is doing, it's not working.

The 4th line has been brutal defensively.

And another deflection after a panic play by Rielly.

I know it was deflected but what I see on that goal is too much movement by Mrazek. Just held his position in the middle of the net that's not in. So much unnecessary movement in my opinion.

Goalie moves to where the puck is going, not where it might get deflected. I know the goalies haven't been great but that's reaching

Guess so

Simmonds 0G 3A 24GP -6 since the COVID break

He's really just an absolute anchor at this point.  Earlier in the year it felt like he was generating chances.  I'm not seeing any of that now.

Agreed. He needs another night off I thonk.

Domi another cement head like his dad. What was wrong with that hit by Holl? If that doesn't deserve an extra 2 what does?

 

[herman]

Where?s the instigator

 

[Guilt Trip]

Get that 4th line off the ice.

 

[azzurri63]

Not liking this period.

 

[Bender]

Horseshoes 

 

[azzurri63]

Horseshoes

yep

 

[Bender]

Robertson making some nice plays.

 

[Bullfrog]

So what was Holl's official penalty? Getting assaulted?

 

[azzurri63]

Think I've seen enough of Simmonds. He's done in my opinion. Doesn't do much at all. Easily replace him next year with a young player. One of the few guys with supposed grit on this team and he doesn't even show much of that anymore.

NHL officiating at it's finest. Thing that irks me nowadays in this league is players dropping gloves when they take a hit. I can understand if you think it was dirty but there was nothing on that play other than Holl taking the man. No different than Domi throwing a hit at Holl prior to the penalties.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Liking Lyubuskin.

 

[L K]

Since the COVID break the Leafs have 73 powerplays.  Only Vegas has less with 65.

 

[L K]

Getting horsecollared = offsetting penalties.

 

[herman]

4v4 should be an advantage for the Leafs

Unless Holl is leading the entry
