If we get rid of Bozak(if someone even wants him) and replace him with another Kadri, we would be better

Time to move Kadri. He brings nothing that an Aaltonen can’t bring. Actually Aaltonen is probably better defensively. One point in 17 games is just unacceptable.

Possibly, or maybe he expected his teammates to tie up the open man who's standing there to screen / put the rebound in
Let's hope he's not purposely allowing rebounds like you're suggesting. Hainsey is outmanned in front, it's a situation where you want Freddy swallowing pucks or directing to the corners. He's struggled with that most of the year.

With that said, he was still very good tonight.

Is Uncle Mike sticking a fork into poor Mitchy?

That is wrong!

Well, if he does, make sure to sanitize the fork though. You can never be too careful. Always has some rubbing alcohol handy around the house.

:whine:

It might be time to trade or send Bozak to the AHL. We dont need centres who only score lucky shootout goals. -30 seasons are just horrible. As Bob said, no one wanted Bozak for even a 2nd. Wow what a disaster he is
Then again fans who think Komarov carries Kadri dont like facts.

What? One point in 17 games. Lol.

Yeah.

Sadly it’s getting ridiculous. Over 50 shots and over 50 PP opportunities.

Not sure what he can do to buy a goal or even a point.

Just keep the head up and keep working I guess

Realistically he’s back to being what he really is. A 35 to 45 point player who can be a liability

I'm not implying he's purposely giving up rebounds.

Check the replays, not only was he screened and trying to look around players, but it was a low enough shot that it couldn't be swallowed up.

Also Hainsey wasn't outmanned, he only had Steen in front of him.

Lets hope Kadri continues to be a 50-60 point centre who is also an middle 1st line C.
Bozak is what he is. Pathetic player thst fills up the minus columm. He is pretty bad when not carrief by wingers who win cups without him

And Schenn beside him. 2on1 down low.

And those type of shots are regularly handled better by him and most goalies.

Not his fault we lost, but a situation he could have played better without question. I'd never say it was a soft goal because he is battling as you mention though.

Then again Kadri couldn't play with Kessel and again he can't play with half the wingers we now have on the Team.
Then again Kadri could play with Kessel. Bozak fans just ignored it. Again can play with more then half the wingers but sure ignore that.
Bozak can only play with elite wingers, and again with no one else. We only have 2 or 3 of those, so like I said, 90% wingers he cant play with.

Kadri is a 5'11" 190 pound guy asked to play a Ryan Kesler/Patrice Bergeron/Jordan Staal kind of game. You respect him for having the trust of the coach, but you'd probably get more mileage out of him if you used him like Bozak in a more sheltered role. Realistically, the Leafs need another big two way center to throw out there for burner minutes.
Kadri always looked better on the wing.

Then again, Bozak can only be played with super star wingers, and again cant play with more then half the wingers we have.
Kessel has 2 cups with out Bozak as his centre. Oh what could have been..

Kadri can't play with Nylander and he can't play with Marner, seems now they want Komarov off his wing and Marleau too and he could not play with Kessel.

Seems more like Babcock doesn't want Nylander or Marner checking, not that they can't play with Kadri.

Kadri played with Nylander last year and played with Marner too, and now seems like they want the useless Komarov off his wing, and could play with Kessel, they just never gave it a long enough try.

Bozak couldnt play with Brown, cant play with 2 way wingers, and now
looks they want Marner off his wing. He couldnt play anyone else but elite wingers.
