Benning time. Like I said in the last GDT, hopefully he plays like someone who wants to desperately prove he's a legit NHLer again.

Myers honestly shouldn't get in another game. We saw him play better but sometimes when a player loses confidence the year just continues to spiral. Even in games where he plays "better" his game has been full of penalties or terrible turnovers.

When Mermis comes off IR I'd honestly waive him. Hes not worth the depth spot at this point

Myers seemed better last year. It is a tough results oriented business.
Benning holding down the #6 spot would be great ...
Stecher's done so well with McCabe. I'm a little uneasy about him with another partner .... Fingers crossed

Big question for this game is: Will Matthews breaks Sundin's record tonight ?

Isles fans = L A M E

 

[herman]

Leafs have so many former Canucks defensemen

Man is the Olympic break going to be good for him.

Man is the Olympic break going to be good for him.

He has come back to mid-30s Earth.

I didn't think PP1 was that bad.

Wow a tv time out with only 40 seconds left. Lol

 

[herman]

Bieksa: “good job with the powerplay!”

Lalonde: “haven’t changed a thing”

 

[L K]

This is the midway point of the season. Game 41.

IF**** the Leafs can win this game in regulation:

- They would be 12th in the East in total wins
- They would be 5th in the East in Regulation wins
- They would be 4th in the East in Regulation + OT wins
- They would be 8th in the East in PT%
- They would be 1 point out of a playoff spot

We stink dudes

 

[ZBBM]

[Guilt Trip]

Jt loses the draw clean and then screens Woll.
