I remember a while back, I was in Ireland backpacking through the country.

What I didn't know, at the same time I was traveling from town to town, it was the darts world championship.

Every single local bar we went to was packed with people going batpoop crazy about darts.

It was awesome.

OOONNNNNNEEEE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!!!!!!

The atmosphere and production for these events is absolutely bonkers. From what it looks like, it's a giant beer hall with fans getting pissed while watching the competition.

The introductions for each dart pro is like something out of pro wrestling.

So awesome.

Was almost about the embarrass myself by claiming first

Yup. Keefe wants him to shoot more....it really has F'd up his mojo. Oh and Malholtra completely ruined the PP.
- Fakepartofme

He's ironically shooting less this season than the previous few seasons.

Mitch will get three points tonight and this will all go away.

Oh....

...no it wont, cause we move onto "its a against a crappy team so it means nothing" arguments.

Well, at least its something different.

- Fakepartofme

I hope so.

But also, we've played Montreal (who are getting killed), Ottawa twice and a Pittsburgh lineup which was decimated. Where was his 3 points then so we could stop dumping on him and talk about how it was against poop teams. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Id have even settled for 3 points over the 4 games. 🤦🏻‍♂️

How? Sandin never really had proper positioning... It's not like Lorentz made Sandin look silly. Lorentz is 6'4 and 210lbs..

Sandin is 5'11 and 188lbs..

Blame Sandin because he's not 6'4?

It was a bad play by Dermott which forced Sandin to battle against a bigger forward

Stop making excuses for a D man

If he can’t handle it he’s not NHL capable.

Ya, the lazar that , ? got off, went by Campbell so fast.... What a rocket.
- bixll

I blame Freddie…..

Except it wasn't a traditional one on one..

Dermott made a bad play, Sandin was out of position and had to battle a bigger forward..

Sometimes it's ok to blame guys that have been in the league longer and not blame the rookies
- PatC80

If Sandin can’t do it he’s not a NHLer

Stop making excuses for the one that (frank)ed up the most simply to blame another guy

They were both bad plays. I've said since day 1, that bottom pair is going to cause us lots of problems.

Guys can't we all just get along and gang up on Ritchie again?

There’s so many lunatics here who think the leafs should cut Dermott in order to play Liljegren and have two rookies full time on the D

I agree.. I don't think Dermott is NHL capable

Hi, Lunatic here... I don't think Dermott is a capable NHL defenseman.. I think the Leafs need to trade for one..

He’s been one of the leafs best so far this year

Biased hate on HB, what a surprise

Agreed. Leave Dermott alone.

I need him to fill a spot in my keepers league with salary!

So, objectively, he needs to play and give me around 15 points this year!

Send me some money and I’ll send you a bunch of stuff you don’t need.

Which is fair for a bottom pairing guy.

However so many leaf fans see that he doesn’t play like a 6 million dollar d man so he’s not NHL capable *rolls eyes*

That is faint praise.

Dermott has been given sweetheart zone starts all year and very little TOI. He's less than mediocre but has looked better because of the carnage that surrounds him.

He’s a bottom pairing d man!

What the hell else do you expect from him? Top minutes? PP dominance? All star performance? What?

He scored 6 pts in 51 games last year so I'm doubting he hits double digits this year. I expect he'll be swapped with Liljegren a bit and potentially whoever they presumably end up picking up at the TDL.

If he scores 15pts though, I'll be ecstatic!

yeah, defensemen that get 62.7% o-zone starts this season are really good and are not being sheltered because they are not a defensive liability (rolls eyes)

I have a couple hockey collectibles that are near and dear to my heart, mainly signed finnish player stuff and it'd be fun to have more on display, but I tend to waste most of my money on silly music gear

- Dozzer

from a bottom pairing guy, you would expect they know how to play defense, no? Or is that just me?

- PatC80

Which he gets due to his rookie partner who isn’t very capable defensively yet

Keep blaming Dermott for Sandin’s weaknesses however
