Dubas waiving a 37 year-old 4th liner is apparently the end of the world.

I believe that's a shark.

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

I need to change the 242 bit to 329 as that's where I currently rest in career win--....

Errr... Martin Jones? Shark? No no, that's just a coincidence!

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.

- Scabeh

That was Babcock's philosphy.

Two talented guys, and one guy to get them the puck.

Might shock people, but Leafs have 5th least shots against thus far.

Ideally, that guy would also be fast and talented but these are hard to find.

Like Josh Anderson.

I was ok with the idea of that on the 1st line, but having one on every lien is stupid.

Somehow Garnie was able to slip a reply in between conniptions.

You usually limit yourself to double posts. Not quadruples.

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!

Hopefully Peg's brass let us know before deadline if Laine is in or out

This is the optimum configuration we should be looking for on all 4 lines:

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.

I guess if you post it 3x I’ll agree

I don’t get why Keefe is messing with a winning philosophy. Hyman, Matthews, Marner did ride us to glory last year.

Tavares has so quietly gotten 5 points in 3 games.
