So was Connor Brown on this Leafs team.
But he was cheaper than both and could actually kill penalties.
But of course Dubie thinks he knows better than rest of NHL.
- MaximusAurelius

And you think you know more than Dubas


Brown is not nearly as good as Kapanen or Johnsson. It's not even close.

Johnsson just doesn't have the attributes to fit in with Nylander/Matthews or Greedy Mitch/Snakes (in my opinion)
- walshyleafsfan

He scored 20 as a rookie. He's not the best guy for those lines but he's good enough.

Would be interesting to see Kerfoot get a shot on the Matthews line as a LW. But they'd need another C to fill in for him.

Huh?
- senstroll

ya... you know what I'm talking about

Yeah because rookies never build on 20 goal seasons and near 50 points.
- Santo_44

Yes they do

Incorrect. If that was the case, all 31 teams would be tied for 1st in the league in PK.
- JohnFergusonJr

No, it's because you're short-handed that you get scored on. One forward on the PK does not stem the tide, it's goaltending that has the largest impact.

Guys who can't do anything else become "PK specialists".

he's 25 in a month.
hardly a 20 goal season at the rookie age of 19/20/21.
he's matt frattin / soshnikov / leipsic / insert name

All three scored 20 playing with Matthews. They're not that far apart but Johnsson and Kapanen have more tools.

Yeah I'd like to see Kerfoot there. I like him better as a winger than a centre.

Holy (frank)

lmfaooooooooo 🤣

what’s attendance like in beijing 🤣

queafs look like poop...AGAIN 🤦‍♂️

i feel bad for some of them because dubass didn’t trade greedy little biitch and melander for some adults when he had the chance🤦‍♂️

their looking to souperman for a spark🤦‍♂️

don’t worry, dubass will get a nice severance package 👍

then he can go back to managing NHL 20 full time 🤣 lmfaooooooooo

Hey Red Wings dolts on here: did Babschlong ever mix up the lines in DET?
- gravyface

Hey moron. All the time.

voila
what i've been saying since before start of this season.

oh brother - another statistician who wants to wait for 13% of the season to be over before realizing you could try something different.

here's a rhetorical question - why do Coaches remove goalies sometimes in game?
do they wait for 13% of the season to go by before pulling them...

just wondering out loud
- BorjeFan4Ever

or is it that they wait till there's 13% of the game left to be played before pulling said goalie?


nope just throwing spaghetti to the wall to see if it would stick ...

Line changes?

That and a bunch of other head scratching poop

Pretty sure Babs just moved Moore up
- senstroll

that's guys a genious

waits for 6 games of kapanen struggling - which makes him less valuable and useful and hurts his most productive line from last year...

"gud pro"

Winning the FO, blocking shots, getting your stick in the passing lanes. These things all matter and he's good at all of them and they do prevent goals.

Guys that can't score goals and points become PK guys. News flash; you need both types to win Cups.

Hence the “holy (frank)”

He makes things up in his mind and obsess over it until he thinks it’s true.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

lmfaooooooooo 🤣

I’m always right 👍🏿

just hoping i survive another 20 years to see them win the cup after a couple more rebuilds😭

Yeah I'd like to see Kerfoot there. I like him better as a winger than a centre.
- walshyleafsfan

throw Nylander down on the third line at center - that way he can avoid going near the borads.

Matthews with Kerfoot and Mikheyev
Tavares with Moore and Overpaid
Nylander with Johnson and Kapanen
Goat and whoever they want to plug in

and I'll apologize to Mitch if he reads this social media and his feelings are hurt. But he should remember I didn't comment about his parents.

Leafs aren’t balanced at all..

Dubas is a (frank)ing moron imo...

He’s not, but he picked the wrong type of players to build around AM/MM/MR...

Trade Nylander, (frank)!! Leafs were wayyyyyy better when was out of the lineup. I honestly hope they keep losing, and get roughed up until Dubas goes, or they change the way they play. Because it’s (frank)ing embarrassing.

- BorjeFan4Ever

Kappy has proved a lot over the past 2 seasons. He’s succeeded on every opportunity he had, deserving a promotion each time.

He’s allowed to give a player he believes in more than 5 games to prove himself. Relax.

Pretty sad bunch of Leaf fans... ha, that's a laugh.

He is a bunch of players who never scored 20 goals
- senstroll

sure..
it was for illustrative purposes.
you have to give me franky vatrano and connor brown as fair comparisons though.
