Can Nick Robertson play 3LW? He's gotta be ahead of McMann, right? Even upside alone: He's 5 years younger than McMann and 2 years younger than Holmberg. Surely too early to write him off? I hope. (Plus, N. Rob's got everything we love about Easton Cowen ? "Big motor, real competitive kid" and...

Like that time Campbell had 5?5 from Edmonton 😉

Maybe Dubas signing 10 Dmen was actually a genius move, because in the extreme you can swap people like Gio/Schenn/Benn out for Liljegren/Gustafsson/Timmins and completely change the look & style of your team. It lets you significantly adapt to different opponents and different styles. (I'm...

Matthew Knies had to go down the tunnel because he was injured after blocking a shot in G5. He missed about half a period. Memes be damned: when Knies actually plays a full game, the Leafs are 7-0-0.

5v5 scoring chances across the two games so far this series where Cooper has had last change: If Matthews / Marner are spread across separate lines, the Leafs as a whole are 17 scoring chances for vs. 21 against If Matthews + Marner are on a single line, the Leafs as a whole are 28 scoring...

If the Leafs look to advanced stats to help with this decision, there are two ways to view performance: (a) ZAR is struggling slightly more than Lafferty against the TB forecheck: 5v5 xG% across 4 games so far shows the team is hemmed in most frequently when ZAR is on the ice or, (b) maybe we...

Another thing that's easily overlooked in all this "it was 4-1" and "Kerfoot in OT" and "Knies is 6-0" and "Playoff Rielly" becoming a thing is that Matthews put this team on his back in the third. Back-to-back gamebreaking goals. He's never scored two goals in a playoff game that I can...

All it took was to swap the lines so Marner and Matthews aren't together. Still puzzles me why they take so long to do it and then after a while go back to it for no reason. The entire team was immediately better. I strongly suspect that Matthews is the one demanding it. (He's always in...

Say what you will about Nylander's play tonight, but he drew that penalty and ended up being in on 3 of the 4 comeback goals.

Nazem Kadri has been fined $5000, the maximum allowable by the CBA, for Keefe's comments tonight.

Tyler Biggs is younger than Tavares, he could still make a comeback!

wait, it's only 3-0 (but his goal was so sick it counts as two, so I'll allow it)

If Knies is going to take a penalty, at least he does it while Gio can mentor him.

One thing that can be said about Knies is (presumably) he loves the high-pressure games; he went back to college in order to help his team in big games rather than chasing money. Together with ROR (Conn Smythe winner) and Acciari (well known long-playoff-run afficionado) and there's finally a...

Hold on, hold on. The EBUG plays if either team runs out of goalies, right? So Tampa could run out of goalies tonight and then... Kallgren steps in net?  That can't be right ? he would just let everything in on purpose.

Thanks! We've actually done really well 🙂 Out of 41 wins this season, where we know the belt winner: 27 times they gave the belt to either our MotM or HM player 6 games it seems they simply gave the belt to the call-up or trade acquisition who just had their first game with the team 6 times we...

Is there a way to see a list of who received the WWE belt after each win? It would be neat to see how our choices compare to the players' choices over the course of a season.

If you remove the games where Kerfoot or Holmberg played on ZAR's line, he is scoring 0.21 goals/game (would be a 17 goal pace). I'd say he needs to be with grinders in order to set up his net-front shots (he's just not a rush/breakaway type player) but he did great with Malgin. 3rd period...

Abruzzese on the ice tonight: two goals for, zero against. Has he earned another game?
