Nylander has not been bad. He's been on the right side of the puck and contributed defensively as well, which is better than he's done most of his games so far. His skating looks good. His aim is off. He's pressuring. He'll get there.

Agreed

I find a lot of teams do that with their PP these days....whatever happened to just shooting the puck?
- RatedR80

I remember in days gone by when Ponikarovski, Antropov and Sundin were sent out for the shootout, and all would skate in, get tired by the dot, and just try and rip one top cheddar... They need to do that. But better.

I’m jumping on the #fireBabcock wagon. poop system, poop special teams, poop decisions.

lol i don't mean that but it's clear teams have made adjustments and the leafs have been slow to adapt

Why not try this on the PP. Traffic in front, hammer it from the point. (frank)ing put AM on the point taking wristers into traffic, I don't give a (frank).

Also, (frank) Stamkos.

PP is clear proof of that.

Same.

Some fans are just something else.

Yeah but people just gotta be fancy now....fancy play is more important then just shooting.....like last nights SO.....everyone has to try and be fancy....Chiasson of all people said (frank) that I’ll just shoot.....speaking of PP tho does Rielly have a hard shot or no?

Nylander will probably win the Conn Smythe the way Leaf fans are tweaking.

PP is clear proof of that.

yeah special teams specifically. 5 on 5 they've been fine since nylander got back, they've just been missing their top end starter

I’m gonna buy a Babcock jersey and throw it on the ice. That’ll show ‘em.

I am. Working on getting it down

It's funny 'cos it's true. And it's sad how much better that team was than the teams in the 80s.

Wrap it in a waffle.

Yup

Toasted?

I'd lay some money down on that. I'm sure the odds would be 11 billion to 1 currently

(frank) that. I’m gonna eat the waffles, and the throw the box with the Babcock jersey stuff in it. (frank) ya, boys.

So your concerned a bit

Because Seam passes baby!!! Even when they aren't there.
- burn

I don't get it. AM can probably score clean from the point, his wrister is so sick.

This doubt just makes my faith stronger however.

Jake Gardiner seems like one of the nicest guys on the planet. So its gonna suck when he blows the game and fans continue to boo him until he cries.

Jake, if you want to change how things currently are, go (frank)in run Yanni Gourde or something. Get us cheering FOR you again. Because your current play a step behind and if you don't change soon it'll only get much worse.

If I'm right I'm gonna beat off.
