The guy that should be sitting is Dermott
Agreed. Dermott is this year's Nylander. He has been totally off without a full training camp.

Wouldn't it have made more sense to rest him in the last game then?
Their fans are flocking back to the main boards to be smug once again, after seeing almost none of them all of Oct-Dec.
It pains me that there is a pretty good possibility Boston and Tampa will meet in the 2nd round, guaranteeing one in the ECF.
Watching TB now go 11-0, after already getting red hot, just makes our uneven malaise all the more disconcerting. The only reason it isn’t worse, Florida has been one of the worst teams in the league the last 10.
Just win.
I could go with:
Hyman-Matthews-marner
Timashov-Tavares-Nylander
Engvall-Kerfoot-Kapanen
Clifford-Spezza-marner
Muzzin - Holl
Sandin - Barrie
Dermott - Marincin
Liljegren

Why not unplug during work and DVR and watch when you get home?I'll be missing all the Leafs games from Monday-Friday for the next two weeks which sucks. But who knows? Maybe they go on a winning streak without me watching. Parents have gone to India for vacation, I gotta take over my Dad's work while he's gone. Probably listen over radio, and then watch the game when I get home at 1ish AM.
Hopefully they win tonight.
I agree. It's why I said in another point it doesn't make up the difference. He should play Thursday.I'm still not seeing it.
Liljegren may not be as big and strong in corners as Marincin but you better hope to god that the Penguins don't get many rush chances because Marincin is abysmal at defending the rush.
Well he got Jake Muzzin who is by all standards a very good defenceman, and plays a style that should satisfy someone that's calling Dubas a pencil neck. He also drafted Sandin late in the 1st who is almost a lock to become a top 2-3 defenceman, maybe even a #1.I’m expecting nothing less than an absolute beat down tonight, but hopefully I’m wrong. The clock is ticking on pencil neck Dubas and his stat geeks to get a real defenseman.

These might be the best possible opponents to face to tell the boys to get their heads out of their asses and play a hard 60 minutes.These might the worst possible opponents for the Leafs to face right now having lost 10 of their last 20 games.
If the Leafs are smart, he doesn't get called up again.
Korshkov still here. Maybe they are planning on playing him on Thursday.
Yeah I'm really surprised he hasn't been given a shot yet.Yeah I can't see it and would like to see Agostino get the next call
That's great for them but really who was surprised Tampa would turn it on? They always do. They love the regular season. They'll beat the wildcard team this year but will be out in the second round.TB went 10-0-0 from Dec 23 - Jan 11 (all wins in regulation) then went 2-2-1 in their next 5 before rattling off a 11-0-0 stretch.
Only 3 team in NHL history to have 2 X 10 game winning streaks in the same season and TB did essentially 5 games apart.
Pens are 23-5-2 in last 30 games which isn't much different than 24-4-2 of the Lightning during their last 30 games.
Essentially 3 of our next 4 games against the hottest teams in the NHL.
Be interesting if Leafs rise to the level of their competition or if they get blown away playing the way they currently are. These might the worst possible opponents for the Leafs to face right now having lost 10 of their last 20 games.
This being Leafs defense tasked to stop that..
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Barrie
Marincin-Dermott
The silver lining is it happened on his final elc year. If he was spectacular this year, the leafs probably couldn’t even afford him. Now we’ll get him at a bargain and hope this year was an anomaly.Agreed. Dermott is this year's Nylander. He has been totally off without a full training camp.
