Fair enough, I thought that line was the best the Leafs had yesterday and he is a big body that can go into corners and come up with the puck. Granted he is not nearly as fast as Hyman giving him some looks on the Matthews line and the PP might be a pretty good thing.

Outstanding, a little more gamey than bison but i found it more tender. Prefer Venison but will do it again for sure.

That line was impressive on Saturday.

I like platooning him with Hyman, giving Joe OZ starts, and keep his minutes under 15.

Kerfoot's line with Hyman plays pretty solid too. Could be the first shutdown line we've had in a while.

That’s what you get when you play with the 2 best players on the team. I don’t mind him there but I not sure how much he is adding.

Looool. Says the guy who starts 80% of his sentences with "most leaf fans". Says the guy who made a list putting people who criticise Andersen worse than Isis. 🤣

Are you actively shifting back and forth between alts? My goodness man, get a life. 🤦‍♂️

Leafs finally play a good game - let’s change it up

Right?

Thornton continues to get a look for a few more games to see if Saturday night was an exception to the rule.

How much is hyman going to add? Barely anything

How much is Hyman adding to the 3rd line? A lot, he’s driving it.

I believe that's a shark.

He's been Martin Jones, the Sharks the goaltender, this whole time!

Well Hyman is pretty good at getting the puck in the corner and/or winning battles along the boards.

Sometimes talented players need a guy like that on their line for it to work at an optimal level.

Ok

Game day Leaf Nation

Get your HBSL in early as there is 12pm deadline.

I hope Edmonton or any other team do not put a claim in on Dell.

GLG!

It's a shark with a remora fish.

joel878 made the amusing analogy that I was a Great White and AA was the remora floating around me, living a parasitic existence by feeding off (with the worst possible takes) of my truly excellent* hockey posts.

Disclaimer: this is not a verbatim retelling of the analogy and, I suspect, is grossly inflated by my own ego. Use at your own discretion.

So, play a league minimum guy there, they’re the best line in the last game and that gives you the freedom to play Hyman on the third line giving us third good lines since when?

Hyman adds X% more over Thornton? We may be overestimating how good they were together last year. Either way, the cost is breaking up a really effective third line. I haven’t seen any realistic options to replacing Thornton on a line that is starting to come together.

But hey, everybody loves to come up with line combos so I’m waiting for the Engvall or Simmonds on top line suggestions.
