Injury Report: Johnsson: Leg || Update: LTIR

[Blanche Blanche]

AJ really tried hard last night. He was givin er. I don't think we have right mix of top end players for him in a top line role but his effort caught my attention. No one can tell me he is not givin er. He is. Of all guys playing on our top 2 lines he tried the hardest.

His effort is always there, but he is undersized and gets bullied off pucks.

He is a steal for another team with size and crash, but need a speedy guy to net some goals.

Dubas vision is in question at the moment... Seems like we do need some size and board players. Hyman and Kap seem like our only 2 decent sized grit players.

Johnsson as mentiones is tough, but gets knocked off the puck too often.

Sounds like a lot of stories I have heard before about how tough it was in the old days:

"Uphill both ways"
"In my grandpa's boots"
"30 feet of snow"

Well they were tougher...

 

[18leafsfan18]

Well they were tougher...

No doubt.

Was just trying to have a bit of fun with it, to be honest.

Real Leafs would of played on a broken leg.

And walked to the arena barefoot through 10 feet of snow carrying their own equipment.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Yeah ummmm I get Aberg as he's leading the Marlies in points - but what does Agostino have to do? And marincin again? lol

 

[Apex Predator]

I think Marincin just gets called up to sit and in case they need him for a game. If there was a long term injury i think they would call someone else up.

Ouch.

 

[landeskog11]

we are spoiling martin marincin's development!!

Love it man. LOL. Yesterdays broken femur is today's small bone crack. Back in the day a 5ft10 guy was 6ft as some measured with skates on. or do guys today not play through stuff. Can't even remember how many games I played with small cracks in fingers and hands and face. or is this an LTIR move to get a months worth of space?

 

[Tlo1]

Well they were tougher...

I don’t think so. Try playing in today’s game with a broken leg. You’d get destroyed!

Wanna hear good jokes?

2019/2020 Maple Leafs Season

I hope Mango won't be out too long, but the Matthews line needed a shakeup and this will force Keefe to adjust. Hyman is the most logical replacement.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I didn't like him at all playing with 34/88, I'd like to see a big beefy bastard that goes to the net and creates room...unfortunately we have no such player.

I agree. I like Mikheyev with JT and Marner, but have never liked Johnsson with Matthews and Nylander. For all the flak he takes (including from myself in the past) Hyman has had chemistry with those two.

IMO AJ is the first guy that needs to go. Replace him with a better backup and a more suitable 3rd line option.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

So the earliest that Johnsson can come back LTIR wise is what, the Dec 31st game?

 

[IPS]

Engvall-Matthews-Nylander!

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

This team can not catch a break this season. Hopefully a new winger helps spark Matthews.

 

[AvroArrow]

MARINCIN. FFS i cannot understand how this clown has a pro contract. This guy is absolute garbage at every aspect of the game.

Dubas please wake up.

Dubas please wake up.

He's an elite AHL player however...he's good to have on the Marlies but should be the last option to be called up.

 

[likecheese]

He was so miscast on the Matthews line that this is hardly even a loss. I wish he'd have been moved down to the 3rd line weeks ago, maybe a checking role, some penalty killing. As far as the Matthews line, it's almost irrelevant at this point.
It's ironic that AJ was in full panic mode to block that shot, I forgot the exact play but he either turned it over or missed a clearing attempt, good on him for the effort but the usual tire fire that line had become in the Dzone.

Yeah I think Sandin comes up if anyone goes down. Perhaps even Liljegren.
