Mermis can be treated as a Marlie and Stetcher is a 7th D.

The thing is this is sport which is separate from the business side of things. 32 teams have a shot every year to win and there's a variety of factors that come into that that go beyond what running a normal business entails. I agree they made lots of mistakes along the way, but most teams not...

It's basically religion. I was born and raised a Leafs fan, my earliest memories are of Doug and Wendel in 92/93 and then Mats for years. I kept watching during the post-lockout years but not as routinely. And obviously there was a lot of promise from 2016 onward, but that hasn't really...

100% agree. It really is bizarre that there's a huge disconnect between what they know and what we know. The fans ultimately pay the players' salaries so we really should be given more information than we're getting.

Highly frustrating start to the season but I'm willing to see what happens when a few more bodies get healthy. Injuries can and do destroy regular seasons if a third of your active roster is out. If the writing is on the wall early they should definitely strip away any players not in the long...

He's saying we slide into the top 5.

If this goes 3-0 I'm out. Just don't feel like doing this tonight.

I don't know how OEL got anything there.

I want them to win but the Leafs really don't have a good lineup with all those bodies on the IR. Even just having Knies or Roy would make a huge difference.

Ah I misread what Herman said. I think Jarnkrok can be moved up and down the lineup and I'd rather have a Robertson probably on that top line, but I guess they're probably going head to head. Still don't love it though.

I really don't like this lineup... Why is Jarnkrok on the 1st line? 2nd line is incredibly brutal defensively, 3 righties on one line and a 4th line built to fail.

Crazy how up and down the CBJ lineup is in terms of points. Kent Johnson & Chinakhov are off to crazy slow starts. Voronkov coming into his own and I've never even heard of him.

As I said, I agree Matthews seems to be injury prone, but he's in prime physical age, so I don't buy the sweeping argument that all the injuries are related to having an older team vs. players that are injury prone like Stoli and Matthews. It plays a role but I don't think we have any conclusive...

I agree in principle but it's not Tre's fault that Auston's bones are made of the same material as Joffrey Lupul's. Blais has a punctured lung, Knies seemed to be injured randomly. Apart from Tanev (Stoli has always been injury prone/low volume goalie) who do we think injuries are age related...

That tuck by Willy was absolutely filthy. Amazing work by JT.

I don't know why people think that if we did something differently it would definitely be a lot better in comparison when we really don't know what the outcome would've been. Would we even have a 2nd line center?

I mean you definitely think looking at those injuries that the team would be struggling.

So is this going to be pond hockey or the most boring 1-0 loss you've ever seen?

What about when Wade Belak had a spider bite his foot?

The injuries are coming fast and furious this year... Hard to see how we're a playoff team unless everything starts breaking our way.
