tell me... without naming names... what do you want to see from a 4th line?
- Dozzer

Energy, grit, defensive awareness, puck control, offense.


Smith misses the mark on all.

*Just watched the game this morning.

Hyman reminds of David Clarkson

When smith is on e ice the puck doesn't leave our zone. He provides nothing. He provides nothing he's a (frank)ing blackhole.

We're stuck with Martin, but we have options on the 4th line. Hyman on that line would be better than Sosh, have to think Laich would be better than Smith too.

If Smiths job is to get completely torched when he's on the ice then yes, he is doing it perfectly.
- ClarksonDavid

Exactly. He's a tire fire. What's he at 36% corsi? No one on the leafs lower than like 45%. He's (frank)ing brutal.

He doesn't defend the slightest bit well.

Yup. Like i said last night. We are keeping smith over the like of holland and Griffith makes me sad. Would rather those guys..... Hell laich or frose even over smith. He's a mess.

Bye bye Griffith, claimed by Florida

I can kinda see that.... how many times last night did he win the race to the puck and then win the board battle only to blow it and end up giving it away?

We hear so often that hyman is digging it out pucks and getting it to Matthews, but he's not.

Win 6-3 and everybody's female doging about the 4th liners.

Never ends.

I just found he was falling down a lot last night....David Clarkson style...win the race make a move...fall down.

He'll be fine..need to keep the talent spread around....I know every one thinks Sosh should be there...he might be sooner or later...but his Corsi last night was the worst on the Leafs...

BIG WIN...GO LEAFS GO

Was hoping he would go through. Would of been awsome for Kap and Liepsic to play with him.

Oh well. He deserves a better shot in the NHL and he will get it in Florida with all the injuries

Hell show he can Olay in the nhl and there will still be people on here saying so what he's a plug at least we still got smith.

When they were down 3-2 I thought here we go this is gonna suck but they really turned it around.

Oh well... Babs wants him there, we'll see how it plays out.

Oh JVR went to the top of my hate list for a few moments....

I think Matthews and Nylander break their slumps tonight.

I know its back to back games and vs the defending champs but I have a feeling tonight will be good. Playing against the best should bring out the best and Pitt is a more vet laden system oriented group and don't know what to expect against the young speedy Leafs. Kadri will be a thorn in sids side. I'm sure babs also is reminding them still that practice after a bad loss isnt fun.

Either 4-2 Leafs or 5-0 Pens

Brutal drop pass.

Andersen again tonight apparently.

Matthews or Nylander need to get one early so they get their energy back. They need to be buzzing tonight. Marner seemingly doesn't have bad games. Kadri is playing out of his mind and has a history of pissing off Crosby.

Leafs have a bit of mojo right now, and once the rooks heat up it'll be fun.

Andersen again tonight apparently.
- burn

Makes sense. Had half the game against the Kings and has two days off until a home game vs Nashville

Brutal drop pass.
- burn

Lots of bad drop passes lately.. On the PP it slows down the time to make the zone entry and just looks stupid.

Brutal drop pass.
- burn

Especially when you're hoping the Leafs can score and then bang in our net.



Simmonds had a couple real good shifts...I'd like that big mofo on our team.

Kessel with a 4 point night . 5-2 Pens . UFC prelims might b less disappointing
