Ummm?

I'm confused.

Is he trying to make a point about something?

[Bullfrog]

Every single response on Twitter is bashing Simmons. I'm enjoying that more than expected.

#Leafs full lines in Group 1:

Nylander-Matthews-Hyman
Engvall-Kerfoot-Kapanen
Agostino-Petan-Malgin

Rielly-Ceci
Rosen-Kivihalme
Gaudet

I'm not sure I'd read too much into Nylander and Hyman being on opposite wings. Sometimes it's just a typo or one-off thing.

This sets up Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner to be the other big line, and probably Clifford-Gauthier-Spezza as the 4th line.

Also probably means Muzzin-Holl is the shutdown pairing and Dermott-Barrie is the offensive/sheltered pairing.

[herman]

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Mikheyev - Tavares - Marner
Engvall - Kerfoot - Kapanen
Clifford - Gauthier - Spezza

Muzzin - Holl - top-line matchup
Rielly - Ceci - default vs rando depth line
Dermott - Barrie - OZ starts only for Barrie

Andersen
Campbell

WHAT'S MY PRIZE?!

[herman]

Timothy Liljegren is absent from his assigned group at #leafs practice this morning.

THIS IS NOT IT

[Frank E]

So I guess when a team doesn't explain an absence, we're to assume COVID?

Auston Matthews confirms he tested positive for COVID-19

— Kristen Shilton (@kristen_shilton) July 13, 2020

Auston Matthews said he can't pinpoint where he got COVID, but "it didn't really hinder my training, I was able to do stuff at home, obviously wasn't able to leave or anything. I'm pretty much asymptomatic."

LUCKY

Matthews confirmed he tested positive but said he was basically asymptomatic and it didn't affect his training.

I have no idea how he's stayed employed all these years with a regular media job.  Ok it's the Sun but still, I thought he'd have gone the way of Howard Berger long ago.

I can't believe you aren't crediting me with this scoop

LOL, c'mon it was like 20 seconds after you posted, I didn't even know you had posted it before I did.

I can't believe you didn't understand my joke and in now having to explain it, it is ruined forever.

[Frank E]

OMFG

Credit to Robertson there, but WTF was Muzzin doing going in front of the net like that?
