Thats dumb. All we have is stupid proverbs for everything.

 

[Its not your fault]

I just hope, for his sake, he is not rushing himself in and that he is not actually concussed. I hope the Leafs doctors know what they are doing.

Now's not the time to get cute but you also have to trust the player. Doctor can actually be fired from this gig as well.

The worst defenceman in the league has been looking good so far.

Or was it second worst since that know-nothing JFresh also called Benoit that as well?

Hard to keep up.

 

[The Iceman]

This team has so much offensive talent. #1 scoring per game in the league last time i checked.

All they need are the grunts. Russian Bear, BOGO, Edmundson on the back end.
And someone to get Willy off the PK.

I know his underlying numbers on the PK are fine but he doesn't pass the eye test to me in his own zone EVER.

We need another grunt forward that hustles and is good on the PK please Mr Treliving.
If he can win some draws you get an extra pat on the back.
I don't ever feel confident on the PK or protecting leads.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Willy on the pk was a nice experiment. End it now. And agree on all points Iceman.

His underlying numbers on the PK actually aren't that great; especially considering the secondary units he faces.

Reilly actually said he’s “great at moving the puck” last night. That’s a new one.

He’s been a perfect fit so far

 

[Griffin76]

To be fair, Rempes elbows naturally rest where most guys heads are.

True. But Lyubushkin was bent over a bit playing the puck and Rempe was pretty much straight up and appears to leave his feet.

[Commander Clueless]

Uhh....Extend Boosh?

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Uhh....Extend Boosh?

its already done just waiting for the announcement.

His puck handling skills look way better the 2nd time around.

So far absolutely they do. He's fitting like a glove atm.

[Lemontree]

He's better than Brodie and McCabe. At least he knows his role and plays it.

I said earlier today that he will be more impactful for the Leafs than Tarasenko will be for the Panthers. I think Dumba can have the same impact on this team because he would be playing in a far more structured environment.

I think Florida made a good move for their team. Clearly our needs are more defensive. I expect a Dumba and a good 4th line grinder/pk guy which won't cost too much. I still think Florida has an edge on us.

I thought this was interesting. Lyubushkin does seem like he's played his best hockey while part of the Leafs.

Sample size is low and he's still prone to so bad decisions but overall he's been really solid and I think it was a smart addition to a team that needed more low event physical players.

In all honesty is should've ended weeks ago. It feels like were down 2 men with Willy out there waving his stick around pretending to put in an effort.
