Leafs @ Red Wings - Oct. 11th, 7:30pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

There it is. Matthews line hemmed in too

 

[ZBBM]

Matthews' plus/minus takes another hit. 

 

[herman]

Nick Jensen is wrecking it.

 

[lc9]

Either take less so the leafs can also pay Marner and Matthews or the leafs will have to move on. 

Whatever Nylander gets on his contract won't have any effect at all on what Marner and Matthews get.

Of course it does. If you over pay Nylander it effects how much you can realistically pay Matthews and Marner and fill a deep roster. 

Nylander has to come in at a reasonable price or it isn?t worth keeping him. 

 

[ZBBM]

I know he scored the previous game, but because he has no confidence in his puck handling (with good reason), Ron Hainsey takes too many shots. Same issue with Roman Polak last season(s).

It?s not a hard or fast shot and it often gets blocked or misses any tips and is basically a turnover after the forwards do the hard work of going down to the goal line and then low to high.

How do you explain that laser the other nite hmmmmm?

The Leafs can pay all three. The difference will be between what sort of money is left over for depth, not Marner and Matthews.

But beyond that, rassum frassum, do even the game threads where he's not playing have to become Nylander threads?

1) of course that?s the questions
2) I don?t read much beyond the game threads very often, my apologies (this is sincere, not sarcastic).

You mean the one that he aimed for the middle of the net and got tipped five hole by a random stick?

 

[barney_rebel]

We stink btw

 

[lc9]

3rd period has been less than great.

 

[lc9]

PP. Let?s score.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

AM34. Yawn.

Well I mean you said it yourself, let's just say the Leafs cave and give Nylander $8mil... that doesn't mean that Matthews and Marner aren't also going to get paid. It's the middle/lower portion of the line-up where budget cuts will need to be made. So Nylander not taking a discount does matter to the roster, but it just doesn't matter to Matthews and Marner.

PAPI

 

[Zee]

PP always helps Matthews

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That Tavares pass was a complete fluke but who cares oh my!!!

 

[ZBBM]

Kadri with the sweet helper.

 

[herman]

Matthews looks off tonight

Yeah only one goal. What a bum.

No I'm serious, he's flubbing passes and doesn't have the same dominant look tonight

He's been playing such a high level you can't keep that up every game

?\_(ツ)_/?

Looks good when playing with elite players... can't wait till he gets one at 5-on-5.

 

[Zee]

If Matthews gets the hattrick he has the record for fastest player to 10 goals to start a season
