Pre-Game Talk: Maple Leafs vs Panthers (wednesday game)

[stickty111]

Another game for Liljegren to try and get his game in order.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

What's wrong with Accarri?

 

[Zonk]

Interesting thoughts already by both of y'all. Different, but yet both speaking the truth. That is very rare in life. I look to the left, see the truth. I look to the right, I see the truth. I shall walk in between, the narrow road and find myself in heaven.

Please, please, please do not do that. The last guy who walked between the right and the left ended up in heaven because he got hit by a truck.

Lucky bastard

This game is pretty much Florida's season, so going to be a tough game.

Any word on ROR?

Imo this is the perfect game to sit back and play solid positional defense. Frustrate the panthers, protect the net and score opotunistically.
Rope a dope hockey style

Winning this essentially closes up second place in the division. Get that done and then we can turn the focus fully to the playoffs.

 

[PromisedLand]

Panthers eh?

 

[PromisedLand]

Ugh

Keefe's subliminal messages seems to be working

 

[Leafs98]

If Canes win tonight this will feel like a game I dont care about outcome and might actually enjoy watching. But then i'll get mad when they lose...

That's pretty wild. I had no idea Kaberle still lived in the area

Yeah just read about it at twitter. This is real. Kaberle and mccabe almost did it with pat quinn earlier.... now its Schenn's teturn.

 

[LeafsFan89]

Lmao. 11-7 again. Is the strategy to confuse the opponent with match ups come playoffs?

 

[Cleetus]

pretty cool to see this!

multiple injured forwards, extra D that still needs to be sorted out, have home ice basically locked up, what's the issue?

I would like to see some stability and start to build some chemistry with the forward lines and defensive lines. It is hard to do that when it changes every game. Is McMann or Holmberg injured?

They are currently missing top 9 C, bottom 6 W, top 9 W, how do you build chemistry when likely 3 lines are missing someone?

Hard to do that when O'Rielly, Acciari, McMann, and Knies aren't available.

 

[budzz]

11-7, but one of the 11 is Simmonds. I do like Simmer and like what he brings... having him and Schenn and Acciari does make everyone a little taller. But he has lost a step for sure so it's almost 10 1/2 and 7. Hope they're not burning out the forwards before the playoffs, although Matty's looking GREAT at the right time, and even Kerf is heating up.

Mcmann is injured, yes.

Holmberg no idea. Though not sure how that would help with chemistry when he's clearly not a part of the playoff lineup.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

It's 10/7 when Simmonds is one of the 11 lol.

Simmy only has to talk sire. Stand, sit and talk. Play for 5min per game. There he could even fight. Some opponents are afraid of him. Also his talk. Not many hockey players are vocally good. Verbally. They stupid. Thats why they are afraif of what reaves or simmonds or kane might say to them. And after that they eat em alive. Simmonds is needed and also he is tavares's right hand and best friend. He brings different type of leader element for us. Simmonds is going to stay in our organization for 20 years. In different roles. Also because Johnny and dubber want to. Shanny too. Cause he a cool one.

Looked slow getting up after Holl fell on him.
