I'm Excite!!! *Borats Voice*

Having our 4th line playing to its strengths will help establish our team identity. Martin needs other crash-and-bangers. Holland is soft and has zero motor. Brown... haven't seen enough of him, but let's see how he fills that role in the next few games.

Lindberg, Soshnikov, Rychel and Gauthier are way better fits on the bottom line with Martin.

I'd prefer this:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
JVR-Bozak-Marner
Soshnikov-Kadri-Komarov
Martin-Gauthier-Lindberg
Rychel

I actually thought Brown did some good things last game.

Then we need better vets

Can't afford them. Our below avg vets have eaten all the cap space.

Those Matthews and Marner kids... now if we can play defense...

Feels like Nylander is getting left behind here and in the media. He pleayed really well last game especially in things he has been criticized for ie. Defense and board battles really liked his game along with Marner and Matthews. Can't wait for tonight the big 3 hopefully shine again. So damn exciting to be a leafs fan right now

hahah I agree... its weird. I thought Matthews was obviously the best player and a close second was Nylander. A lot of fans keep going on about Matthews/Marner but I think they should be going on and on about Matthews/Nylander. IMO they are gonna be the dynamic duo on this squad.

But then again I guess its not overly surprising since Nylander was drafted a couple years ago and has already suited up in NHL games last year and has somewhat maybe lost his shiny new toy syndrome a bit?.. shows how exciting this team is when Nylander is already yesterdays news hahah

Regardless youth looks deadly and cant wait to watch Matthews/Nylander tonight again. I am very curious to see these kids VS what looks to be a very strong Bruins team!!

I don't think he is.

I read somewhere yesterday that he didn't come with the team and stayed in Boston.
