I opened the thread and looked at some of the replies and had to leave. Couldnt even respond to the stupidity.

Not sure when Bennett became that valuable...
- Archaic

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

Love how the Leafs always gotta pay out of their ass for 3rd liners.

Maybe Dermott’s value is higher than we think

Do teams want players who had a lot of potential when they were 20 but has showed no signs of improvement since entering the NHL?
- Santo_44

Yes, because it's obvious that Toronto ruined his development, and it would be an easy fix to get him back on track once you get him away from Club Blue&White, the unwarranted adulation that Leafs players receive, 1967, Salute-gate, waffles, Zamboni driver goalie.

They are going with 7 D (Dermott out). Bararbonov is in also for Petan for some dumb reason.

Reilly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin/Lehtonen-Bogo
- Archaic

Clearly I should've read a post ahead.

So do Leafs complete the sweep tonight?

I think yes.


14-2 Leafs

Matthews with 6 goals
- TheMussel

Why is Keefe benching Matthews in the third period?

so that Mikheyev and Petan can complete their hattricks

Ballsy of you to think they'll get 2 goals. Unless Hutch is in?

8-1 canucks. Demko with 2 goals (Hell play the point on the PP in full pads, and holtby will be in net)

Now you have me wondering:

Does it actually say in the rulebook you can only have one goalie on the ice at a time?

They went from phone calls to zoom calls

face to face meetings.. Things are picking up.

They'd probably be better off benching both in favour of a rover

I know they need to ensure that they give him a chance, but after Petan played well, not sure that was the best time. 4th line so not a big deal I guess.
- Archaic

I want to see Petan against the Habs.

VAN sucked, we've seen Petan enough against this poop team, give Barabanov some confidence.

According to CC, Dermott is a "starting defenseman". Presumably, this means he should not be moved despite the fact that he's been mediocre as (frank) and outplayed by Lehtonen.

But hey, let's keep Dermott instead of bolstering the Leafs with some grit and sandpaper. You know, those two attributes that are necessary to win ugly in the playoffs.

lmfaooooooooo 🤣

everyone wants “sandpaper” all of a sudden once they see what it can contribute aside from analytics and pointz and other gen z bullpoop🤣

several years ago when Wilson was a free agent i advocated doing whatever it took (short of trading glassthews) to sign him👍🏿

can you imagine simmonds and wilson playing with the loafs right now?😍

plan the parade 👍🏿

now, simmonds is hurt, probably from a dirty slash, so now these little cream puffs are back to being babes in the woods 🤦‍♂️

oh well, you can’t win ‘em all😭

Some good updates, courtesy of Kirsten Shilton's twitter feed:

Dermott may be available Wednesday

Campbell hasn't begun skating yet, so not close to a return

Keefe doesn't expect Thornton or Robertson back in the next week.

Going with 11 D tonight.

Broken wrist for Simmonds. Out six weeks.

I thought alot about that during the Raycroft, Toskola, Bernier, and Remier days. Either that or just playing 6 skaters for the whole game.

thornton is joining line rushes....Looks like he is ready but cant go off LTIR yet.

Yeah, it was pretty bad.

Saw this beauty in the thread.

Bennys grit/skill would be the perfect fit in Toronto.
I just dont think the names thrown out by the Toronto media are any where close.
Dermott, Engevall, Sandin, Lilegren etc... its going to take more than that.

When did anyone mention Sandin for Bennett

People like his speed.
I just find, he doesnt do too much with the puck...other than skate fast.

Right now, sitting him is not an option....too many injuries.
- Fakepartofme

Jason Blake people.

I saw that and was wondering when he can come off it.

I guess gotta dip into the Marlies roster pretty hard in order to get 11D ready for tonight.

Marincin plays on a pair of his own and counts as 3.

Whether there's just one turd or 3 turds all lying on top of each other, still counts as a pile of poope

They'd probably be better off benching both in favour of a rover
