That's rough bottom half of the defense. Reminds me of last year when 4 of the regular D were injured, but the Leafs played amazingly well in that stretch.

I'm hoping for the stars to step up during this time, at both ends of the ice.

 

[Gary Nylund]

It's the last game for November. If we win, do we set any records? What about if we lose?

 

[shaner8989]

Woll is starting again. Like McMann back in he’s great.

 

[Kiwi]

Damn, 3 regular defenseman left

The forwards need to work there asses off to get back and help them out, the goaltending going on a hot streak wouldn't hurt either

It would be nice to see Matthew's and Marner get things back on track and lead the team to

 

[jiggy35]

A nice dominant win is in order to get the confidence back up for Boston on the weekend

Only 5 regulation wins on the year !!!!

Only 5 regulation wins on the year !!!!

it's always "only 5 regulation wins" and never "only 6 regulation losses"

Try giving Robertson more than 9 minutes a game, how is anyone supposed to get into a groove with that sparce usage. It’s your third line too, come on Keefe.

A D only a mom could love. Yikes.

That is probably based on Nick's early game decision making. He has been pretty bad the last few, and Keefe doesn't have the confidence in Nick having good situational awareness. Others have the same problem, but still get the ice time - the reality of a guy trying to find his way as a regular NHLer I guess.

More like Keefe being scared to lose his job and overplaying his stars.

He should learn how to get more out of his depth. We’re still early in the season, it will be helpful in the long run.

Nah, he did it after an excellent game, he noted in the post game. Keefe is over using the top 6.

Only difference was gio a year younger and the two young defencemen we had sandin and lily nothing like the rest of those guys

I wouldn't expect too much. The coach was a big meany last game so they'll probably have a bit of a spiteful performance tonight if anything

On the bright side, Seattle is not exactly a powerhouse. Quite a goaltending tandem, as well.

And he's been overplaying a couple of forwards in particular who have been playing like crap.

Boo the Kraken.…i really hate that city and all the teams in it.

Keefe ALWAYS overplays his top 6. I wonder if it's part of the reason why the core drop off the cliff in the playoffs?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Kraken play with good pace. They'll pressure our wounded D so the forwards will need to provide extra support. I think if Woll repeats his last performance he should be given a string of starts and let Sammy sort out whatever issue is causing his poor play.
