this pp is laughably bad

Carlo and McCabe (?) both watching and doing nothing until Stolarz went after him. Same old.

Robertson really needs to bury chances like that one...oof.

In a vacuum I really have no issue with swapping out Jarnkrok for Lorentz, but we don't live in a vacuum..and you've got Dakota Joshua sitting there with 1 assist and a -5 in 5 games and generally not looking all that great. Maybe he'd benefit from watching a game.

that was a nice sequence

LOL...missed the whole first period, turn the game on right after the first predator goal and now it's tied. Sorry everyone.

Robertson's problem has never been lack of effort. It's been a combination of tunnel vision, over-handling and mishandling of the puck, spending too much time not on his skates...he tries to be physical which I give him a lot of credit for, and sometimes he succeeds in winning a puck battle or...

Trending up: Matthews. Trending down: Nylander. Robertson seemed to have an especially bad case of fumble-itis today. Maybe we get Blais next game?

Out-goalied tonight but pretty good game overall.

Jarnkrok for the Rocket Richard apparently. Nice play by Knies there.

Definitely signs of life there today.

In theory, Matthews-Knies should be good enough that almost anyone with a pulse could play the RW. In reality, with Matthews possibly << peak Matthews, who knows. Will be very curious to see how it looks.

Pretty good synopsis. Matthews is a definite concern. I've seen people talk about how good he was in game 2 - 6 shots, that blast off the crossbar, etc...but to my eyes, he still looks like he's either holding back or just somewhat limited (or both). As you said, not really going into the...

I've commented before about seeing an interview with a former player - unfortunately I can't remember who it was or who did the interview - but he said that when switching to a dump/chase system like Berube has implemented, it could take a whole season or more for the players to get...

They may as well get Cowan in and see if he can contribute. The future is now - no sense saving him for a time when all the defenseman are on Robidas Island, Matthews has left in free agency, and Nylander is the only highly skilled left player on the roster. That time is coming fast. Team not...

I don't see much difference from last year, despite us being told how healthy he is and how well he is moving etc. He did get off that one great shot off the cross bar but other wise, generally not imposing his will on the game like one of the highest paid players should do.

Looks just like last year. Long stretches stuck in own end, outshot, out-hustled, puck battles lost. Not enough players committed to winning puck battles. Dump and chase - they either don't want to do it or don't understand the concept. Last year the goalies saved so many games for...

Agree with the last 2 posts. Marner had his opportunities here and while it obviously wasn't all his doing, the team kept coming up short. Now we have some new blood in the lineup. Roy should be dependable but both Maccelli and Joshua are question marks. If they play up to their previous highs...

Best wishes to Ryan. Looks like his Stanley Cup chances took a bit of a hit (watch him get traded to Florida before the playoffs) but maybe he'll manage to hit that 1000 game mark somehow. As for the Leafs - who's going to plan the parties now?

In a perfect world, we keep Cowan and let him develop as long as necessary. However, it's not a perfect world. The Leafs really have up to 3 seasons (Matthews contract) to win a Cup, so if that requires moving Cowan to bring in the right player(s), so be it. How likely is he to be a significant...
