Oilers vs. Maple Leafs - Mar. 1st, 8:00pm - SN, Fan 590

Any chance Schenn bumps Holl? Holl and Reilly seems like a pretty awful combo considering the options Keefe has now.

Seems?

You know I had recollections of Rielly and Holl not being great together as well but statistically at least that hasn't been the case. Last 3 seasons their CF%, GF%, and xGF% together are all basically 52%.

I''d probably prefer them apart too but don't have any problems with trying this in game 1 of the post-trades era.

I think people are really overestimating Schenn's effectiveness. He's a bit of an upgrade over Benn, with a nice slice of nostalgia on the side. That's it.

Number update:
Luke Schenn: 2
Jake McCabe: 22
Erik Gustafsson: 56

Couldn?t get Simmonds off 24 I guess

Cody Ceci on their top pairing.  OK.

He was #5 in ice time among their D over the last two seasons (ES & PK).
He thumped with his hits - delivered 15 hits/60 mins in Vancouver.
He led the team in +/- (not a great stat but he wasn't getting lit up).
He brings experience winning 2 Cups with Tampa and may be able to provide some insights on Tampa
He brings some leadership skills
He was very popular with Canucks fans

Benn is about 9 hits/60 mins for the Leafs (ES & PK) and usually #5-6 dman

McDavid really really really needs to retire as a Leaf.  You know he must want to.

This is exciting, my dudes.

Interesting which D gets minutes against McD's line. If it's Reilly and Holl uggh.

 

[Guilt Trip]

They still do the Molson Cup? Wow.  Leafs dumped that in the 70's right lol...j/k

 

[L K]

Looking forward to running Skinner out of the net to get to see Campbell

 

[L K]

What the heck is this broadcast, Cuthbert and DEBrusk.  So not only do we not get home broadcasts but we also get road commentators

 

[L K]

Also why is Holl-Rielly still a thing.  It's not a good pairing

You don't want the Oiler guy...he's F'n annoying. DeBrusk and Simpson equally as bad

 

[Guilt Trip]

McCabe is a bust lol.

 

[herman]

McCabe is a bust lol.

Smooth skater. Not very smooth at slashing.

 

[ZBBM]

That didn't take long....

Easy #51

 

[azzurri63]

Joke of a penalty in this league now. These sticks break taking a shot slight tap on the shaft and you're in the box. Ridiculous.

 

[L K]

Not liking their defensive zone play so far.
