Damnit the third line was playing so well too...

Does Keefe start the third line tonight?

- SofaKingBored


I hope not..

Matthews line out first, then Tavares line, then the Matthews line again..

I think if you give Nylander some better defensive line mates, it will lead to the offensive opportunities he needs - like it did for the last 3 weeks of the season.

I think if you move Nylander away from Tavares and replace him with Mikheyev, it adds a faster and more defensive element to that line that it misses.

You don't want Nylander and Tavares together. Neither one is good defensively nor are they particularly aware. JT is too slow and Nylander has the worst gap control on the team. This strengthens both lines - it can't make line 2 any more ineffective, and it gives line 3 a possible offensive catalyst.

That’s not what that is.

Edit

It’s what the guy above just said.

Leaf Twitter is something else.. it makes HB critics look tame…

Saying the Jeff Finger contract is better than JT’s / That JT had a better playoff last year … ouch … brutal

Series is not over.

Tavares gets 3 points in each of the last 3 games and he's a national hero in Leafsland.

People should wait until the post mortem to make judgements on players.

this is the equivalent of me spending hours/pages ranting about Patrick Nemeth in the Rag's blog. .....do they even blog, bro?
- The Law

I gave it up 4-5 years ago bro...


Nemeth is possibly the equivalent of Holl though

a mod didn't like his attitude towards them
- dmnted


No. It was not about attitude but rather about not openly criticizing the moderating here which is not tolerated and has not been for a long long time.

I would appreciate you not posting inaccurate information.

Not going up against you, but when a ref is clearly bullying almost every other poster, something is clearly out of bounds.
It's pretty much only you who could tell the guy in a proper way...
