6th on the team in Points/60... which is pretty solid... better than Knies. I'm not saying he's been better than Knies, but in that stat he's done very well. He does need to tighten his game up, and he needs to work on his shot accuracy. He is starting to get shots off now, and if he can improve his placement, he's going to be quite effective. 0.5 PPG in 11 minutes a game is pretty decent. But yes, we do need to see more at both ends.

The whole team need to work on their shot accuracy. Whenever we enter the offensive zone I say: "Okay, shinpad snipe or good ol' Phaneuf high n' wide coming right up". It usually happens unfortunately.

If I'm reading this right, Leafs are tied for 3rd in shooting %.

Benoit is back baby!

I can't believe McCabe didn't miss games sooner. That guy gets his face smashed in every game.

 

[McSnypsky]

Rielly - Lyubushkin
McCabe - Benoit
Edmondson - Liljegren
I'd like to see this for a few games, but it will never happen!

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Yeah I think some of us are secretly rooting for a Brodie injury so we can see Benoit , McCabe , Edmundson and Lyubushkin all throwing hits in the lineup together.

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Am I the only 1 that thinks McCabe and Rielly should be paired together? I think Edmonson is a good fit with Liljegren then they can rotate Brodie, Benoit, and Boosh to see what pairing works best.

 

[DarkKnight]

Play better and force the team to find other ways to manage the cap.

I love Robertson, but he stunk the joint out his last game and wasn't much better the couple before.

Well it’s a maintenance day for a practice. He is not necessarily missing a game. You’re right though he’s been a warrior and has come out to playay.

 

[TMLife17]

Can’t wait to see that top line again.

Nice glimpse of the post-marner era

Bertuzzi Matthews Nylander again? Keefe can't be serious?

 

[grapes55]

You'd think with the Marner injury, not would be a good time to give Robertson a chance back in the lineup. Maybe you can try:

Robertson/Bert- Matthews - Nylander
Bert/Robertson - Tavares - Jarnkrok
Knies - Domi - Mcmann
Holmberg-Kampf-Dewar/Reaves

Lets Robertson get a shot at some offensive minutes with some talent. I liked the 3rd line last game but I think holmberg-kampf-dewar could be a decent shutdown 4th line.

 

[Evilhomer]

The Flyers certainly seem to have come crashing back down to Earth. Their goaltending situation definitely took a wrong turn this season....

It’s been a while since we saw

Robertson-Domi-Jarnkrok

I believe because Jarny got injured. But they had their moments.

That would leave

Knies-JT-McMann

Which is exactly the type of wingers JT needs. That line actually sounds great.

 

[OVO16]

Yeah Im confused that Robertson isn't in the lineup replacing marner. This is an ideal situation to put him in.

Robertston needs top 6 minutues to really succeed. He's not 4th line material at all so I dont know when he's gonna get playing time again.

 

[AuraSphere]

Crazy roberston still doesn't crack the lineup with Marner out - he must have banged keefe's wife for sure

Word on the street is he stole Keefes dessert at a dinner.

If that is true, Robertson can go to hll! There are some lines u just dont cross. He should be happy hes not been traded! Must have happened after the trade deadline.

 

[ZEBROA]

I dont like that Keefe instinctively put Nylander and Bert on the first line. Put Knies and mcmann with Matthews , make him work a little. Nylander with ironhook and Bert "the toothless cobra" or Domi , ironhook is needed for better D.
Tavares with whats left.

To easy to just shut down the team when both goalscorers are on the same line.

 

[Dayjobdave]

There is no evidence anyone stole Keefe dessert at dinner.

 

[Evilhomer]

There is no evidence anyone stole Keefe dessert at dinner.

Quite the opposite, I would say.

 

[Dayjobdave]

Quite the opposite, I would say.

Actually you are right, he is looking decidedly slimmer

 

[DarkKnight]

I don’t hate our schedule for the rest of the year, with Boston getting smoked last night, it is still a faint carrot to keep us hungry down the stretch. If we win our games in hand, we’re only 3 back. I know, I know lol.
