Woll over Stolarz? LOL, like Stolarz is the issue? What in the world are some people watching... Anyway, I don't forsee any major lineup changes but McMann up with Tavares/Nylander, Robertson in for Pacioretty and Domi down with Laughton and Jarnkrok would be a decent tweak. But hopefully they...

Tanev OEL

Also, % of Cap hit salary when signed, he's still 4th, not 2nd highest paid ;)

He "looked so lazy overall"? Well with astute criticisms like that, I guess I'm starting to understand why you literally complain about him every game-day thread...

Nylander Knies Tavares battled well too

Yea, it definitely has been effective and I understand the philosophy (very reminiscent of Randy Carlyle hockey) but I guess it's just the complete shutting down of the offense/shots aspect and allowing the other team to essentially control the puck at their whim that I find intolerable. If it...

I'm not sure what happens to this team when they have the lead. Are they adhering to Berube's system, like, is that the actual plan? Or are they afraid of giving up the lead and defaulting into tortoise mode? Because they absolutely dominated Ottawa 1st period (the PP were they only actual...

Stolarz Ekman-Larson

So....are you under the assumption that Marchand and Jones are going to be sitting once Tkachuk and Ekblad return? This....makes no sense...

No Bennett, Tkachuk or Ekblad.. So...yea....kind of "shorthanded"..

I dunno, but when you look at the "Core Four" and their 82-game average based on their playoff numbers... man, those regular season numbers take a HUGE nosedive: Marner- 14g 70p per 82 game avg 1216 TOI in 57 games Matthews- 34g 72p per 82 game avg 1155 TOI in 55 games Nylander- 30g...

He's already back? Wow.. So they trade their lifelong Bruin and Captain to a fierce playoff rival so as to ensure a 2nd round pick, that, AT BEST SCENARIO, can turn into a 1st round pick, which would likely be in the 30 overall range. I don't get it either..

So he's Chuck from Better Call Saul??

All true, and this is a message board with people reacting live to the game they are watching, so you're getting raw, emotional reactions sometimes. Obviously sometimes people take it too far or are way too reactive but sometimes you have to let people vent.

This is the concerning part, and it has been an issue regardless of the caliber of their opponent; with the lead the team's philosophy changes and they stop any semblance of an offence and immediately attempt to protect their lead. I don't know how much of this is the group trying to adjust to...

Yea the bottom 6 is really just a concoction of players that don't fit or accomplish anything. Domi keeps rotating roles, and is so horrible defensively that he needs at least 1 huge defensive anchor on the wing, but the 2 best defensive forwards both play on line 1. Kampf is in no man's...

Man, some great performances today. But have to echo everyone else AM MD And WN as 2nd honourable mention

I think this is the harsh reality when it comes to Toronto. The Bostons, Tampas and, now, Florida's of the NHL have either figured out, or "earned" some kind of officiating latitude when it comes to dirty, aggressive hockey. Any Leaf that plays that way is getting suspended. From Kadri's 2...

To echo others, I think he really would benefit from a long break. With a healthy D and G tandem, the Leafs could probably manage up front without Matthews in the short term, and let him come back "healthy" in the playoffs: McMann Tavares Marner Knies Laughton Nylander Robertson Domi Jankrok...
