Great show glad to have you back! Not enough talk about how the boys tried to get cute and shoot it around Shesterkin and missed the net a ton tonight. He owned them early... in their heads!!!
@@theotvritsios3914 I think Berube had a talk with Domi after that one, looked like he shot the puck a lot more from that point on. Even hit a crossbar
Has Tavares declined? No question. But look who he’s playing with? Robertson a Holmberg. Robertson is too fast to play with JT. And what is it that Holmberg does exactly? Two way forward who’s not great at either end of the ice. Has below average offensive skills. I don’t get why they like him so much. My guess is Pacioretty comes in for him next game. JT and Pacioretty should work well together. Two big bodies who can cycle the puck. Put Lorentz on the other wing and let them grind.
I know the 2nd line is looking great so far but if were so concerned with making the 3rd line serviceable and JT or pacioretty serviceable centers, why isn't marner being plopped on the third line, move Domi up to 1st (since Matthews is as elite of a shooter as you will find), drop Holmberg until Robertson is either traded or plays his way into or out of that 3rd line wing and you could have: Knies - Matthews - Domi McMann - Pacioretty - Nylander Robertson (or holmberg) - JT - Marner Keep 4th line the same. We all know JT is taking a step back but he's best in front of net and when he had his best season it was alongside Marner. That way Marner can also prove that he can drive a line and not have his stats padded by Matthews goal scoring ability. Not to mention, we already know Domi and Matthews have great chem. It would be a win-win from balancing out lines to get 3 lines running and make marner earn that next 12 million contract he thinks he deserves
They can't seem to get a goal when they need one. That's the issue. They will score 5 or 6 when they only need 2 or 3, but down by one or needing one to put the game away eludes them. In other words, when there is no pressure they can score at will. Under pressure, nada. Also, too many golden opportunities where they miss the net or try that extra pass instead of just shooting the dang puck (Mr. Domi). The PP baffles as well. Four of the best goal scorers in the league putting up 400 points a year, earning 40+ million in salary on the ice at the same time and they look underwhelming. They should have the best PP in the league by far. It's something about intensity, urgency, opportunity that's missing with these guys. When the opponents D plays decent with good stick work that 40 million dollar PP is neutralized. I thought Larson would be the secret ingredient. A slap shot from the point finally after years of Morgans wristers. But No! I have no hair left to pull out. No nails left to bite. Sitting here chewing on my lips now. What's left when they are gone? Note to shrinks : Don't bother diving into your suicidal patients childhoods. Just ask if they are Leaf fans.
PP1 needs revamp. Mathews Domi Knies Nylander and OEL. Can switch Marner for Nylander. Give the hungry guys a chance bc the elite players aint doing it.
L a kings fan,the dude said we got goiled, You are absolutely insane bno. What's wrong with you got? One of the best weapons. It is from top to bottom in the league. Is that gonna be yourjesus Christ? No wonder people don't want to play in Toronto.
Core 4 not good enough nick robertson needs to go and Ryan Reeves should not even be playing just wasted 3 hours of my life watching this lack luster leafs team playing like shit.
good tre signing - Lilligren - from 2 x 3m to not playing in two months

No. He's also playing with Marner, Matthews, Nylander and OEL too.
bring back KADRI please
@@theotvritsios3914 Flames won’t trade Kadri, or trade with the Leafs.
I’d like to see patches in JT’s spot on pp1
" not taking away from that" proceeds to in large, take away from that!

Good show boss
i cares less and less about reg season since we all know how it ends. we need to get rid of nylander, marner and tavares. their contracts are brutal

It boils down, yet again, in your face, easy to see, how over paying the top players, has hurt the rest of the lineup.
The power play being crap has nothing to do with whos in front of the net.
More importantly the Leafs get goalied 4 games a year every playoffs too
Laffs nation matters ✊
Rent free
so pay 4m for a faceoff man
how bout those ISLANDERS? best team
Get real. LOL

stop signing old guys - let young guys play - should never have signed tavaras to start - they already had 2 centers and needed dmen
Tavares is an embarrassment now. He is a liability everytime he is on the ice. He is a huge readon the PP sucks
Robertson has 0 points.
