Leafs @ Predators - Mar. 22nd, 8:00pm - SNO, Fan 590

What is this penalty...

2 minutes for skating around.

2 min for being too pretty.

Which really should be a major penalty if you?re calling that on Nylander.

So Johnsson getting 10 and a game?  ;D

Wait you?re Johnsson > Willy?! We are about to fight about this.
Bring your best gif game.

I'm thinking JVR might make some money on July 1

Probably.  I just hope it's not the Leafs money.  Doubt he'll ever hit over 30 again. 

Not many other teams can give him such a cushy sheltered and PP focused role.

Hopefully Oilers give him 7 years at 8 million per

Yup. Some team is going to pay him big money to play on their top line, and, he'll score the goals. He just won't provide much else.

I'm just going by the ladies in the house asking "oOOOooOOOOOoohhhh who is the new guy on the Leafs?"

Bbbbut ... Kypreos just entered JVR's mind and says he's tormented by his low TOI.

After 1 period Leafs 1 - Bettman and Refs 0!

Obviously I?ll need more of a sample size, but it looks like Matthews is actually playing wing for Nylander tonight.

They generally both switch in and out of the role (largely based on who takes the draw), but even after the sort outs, Willy?s working the middle-distro role.

That thing with Ward was just stupid.

Just speculation on my part, but the guy in the middle usually has to play a harder game along the wall, behind the net  and just down low in general, they might be trying to spare Matthews shoulders that wear and tear for a little longer.

 

[caver]

seems like there are a lot of players lurking in the weeds tonight........Romanuk..... :-\ :-\

I noticed Nylander too a faceoff at centre ice as well. That sometimes happens but something to keep an eye on if they're keeping him out of the draw.

Wait, Tolvanen would qualify for the playoffs? He didn?t have a contract by the deadline... I guess he?s not a free agent...

He'd be fine because he was on their reserve list.

That?s what I was thinking too. Shoulder wear on draws too. And also to just complete the centre audition for Nylander.

Ideally, we?d build our team to have two Cs per line.

Thanks. It?s a pretty rare situation.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Another phantom penalty.

 

[herman]

I think the fix is in. He slipped. Untouched.

Matthews haaaaates taking penalties. He?s going to come out of the box in Super Saiyan mode.

Can he be mad if he didn't actually take one?
