Agree Mike. They are ultra talented, but SOFT.
Time for Simmonds, Hendricks, Polak and Gudas. |

I agree that you agree.
Let's go with:
Simmonds, Matthews, Nylander
Hyman, Tavares, Marner
Ferland, Kadri, Kapanen
Johnson, Lindholm, Brown
Reilly, Parayko
Dermott, Hainsey
Borgman, Zaitsev
Andersen
NOT SPARKS
GLG! |

Think I’m going to go with Babcock over your hockey expertise Mike. Sorry there.
Skill wins out. |
|
|

So Gardiner for Parayko, Ennis for ferland, the Goat and Ozhiganov for simmonds and sparks for not sparks? I like it.

So bring back Matt Martin so we can have him in a suit in the pressbox?
You win with skill, Mike. This is very outdated thinking. |

Not disputing that. The Capitals won because of super skilled players like Kuznetsov, Backstrom, Oshie and Ovechkin, but they also had Wilson, Smith-Pelly and Orpik.
You need balance and the Leafs are heavy on skill and light on physicality. I think Dubas will address that before 2/25, but if he does not, Toronto will have a difficult time in the playoffs. |

Rosen >>>> Borgman with the Marlies. Rosen has been the Marlies best D-man and it's not close. And that includes Liljegren and Sandin, who have both been great.
Marlies goaltending sucks. |

I always hear what the Leafs are lacking in the playoffs. I will flip the script a bit here to say with the 3 centres the Leafs have, they will be a very tough team to beat in a 7 game series. The matchups will be a nightmare. |

Massive Improvement. May even be able to stop a shot from the blueline. |

Wilson May have a few screws loose (a few more now thanks to reaves) but he is one of the most multi demensional players in the league. Physicality and skill is a rare hybrid in today's game but it can really make the difference come playoff time when you need to wear down the other team with physical pressure. Ferland has the shot to benifital from good passes while adding muscle and is a ufa so the leafs should be able to target him at the deadline. |

After all the really good saves Ullmark's made so far, he lets that weak shot in. |

I clearly agree, Mike. This team was soft even with Matt Martin. Now? Every player is a target and it'll only get worse the closer to the playoffs it gets.
I doubt that the Lady Leafs will do anything to correct that, though; just another quick playoff exit lays in wait for them. |

Jeeze these sabres announcers are brutal.
Probably the most annoying voice on TV and a homer as well |

Skinner was holding his shoulder for 3 seconds.
Gost pushes him off
Then Skinner punches him
The sabres announcer calls for the refs head for not giving Gost a penalty |

Borgman has 13 pts in 20 gp..
Rosen a better "player" per se... But we're looking to add toughness, and Borgman is still a good option for the bottom pairing. |
