Pre-Game Talk: We Don't Play Until Next Month... And It's Outdoors! | Leafs @ Caps | March 3rd

IMO confidence is not one of Nylander's shortcomings, but I hear what you're saying.

overall no, but sometimes he seems to be a bit out of sorts looks short of confidence. In full confidence he will drive the net, but unless he is really buzzing he will do that stop up play curl back around for the pass although this is still the safer option which maybe why he does it. That is just one play out of many in a game though so I do see your point he does overall seem like a really confident kid

Whats the damn infatuation with Moore. Would rather have Martin in there.

Hyman-Nylander-Kapanen
Marleau-Kadri-Marner
JVR-Bozak-Brown
Martin-Plekanek-Komarov

Whats wrong with that Babcock?

Moore was damn good in the last game and there's no way Martin should play instead of him

We don't have last change so if Babcock wants to hold off on Nylander at center until he's got control of the matchups it makes sense to have 4 full time centers especially against the better teams

I am surprised the start time as at 8. How did Rogers did not get them to start at the usual 7 pm start for Hockey Night?

Vancouver fans are gonna be pissed

Vancouver fans are gonna be pissed

Why? CBC has booted the Canucks...Oilers are now going to feature on the 2nd HNIC game.

Rangers @ Oilers starts at 10:30.

So the first time either side will be on the ice will be pregame warmups

Outdoor games are dumb.

I have bad vibes about this game.

Don’t worry, I have good vibes. They cancel out each other.

 

[GodEmperor]

I really hate these outdoor games, just a money making gimmick, awful to watch and this year it might actually be cancelled.

 

[Savvy]

Outdoor games are dumb.

Would’ve been fine and fun if they would’ve kept it to a once every few seasons event but they found something special and made it common place

 

[Warden of the North]

Was expecting this to be an early start.

8pm what the heck?

might be annoying if we were in a playoff race and the game really mattered. but since we're already in, it's a fun change of pace.

i won't really care if we play badly and lose. everyone gets a free pass in my books tomorrow night.

I agree 2 points would be nice but just to be able to have fun in an outdoor game, as long as no one gets hurt, ill be happy.

Polak will play a huge major key role for us again. Playing against hungry suckas like Tom Wilson etc who are big bodies and polak twerking that thang off is the treal key. Our powerful, physical suckas will be destroying this other team like cobra commander and destro back in the day with the GI.Joe cartoons late 80's period. Y'all better recognize.

Because whenever we play in Vancouver on Saturday night, it's always a 4:00PT game-time to line up with the 7:00ET HNIC. Some folks are really salty about it.

I can't find it right now, but someone even made a video ranting about the whole thing, saying how they didn't even mind the start time so much, except for the fact that it was to cater to the Leafs and HNIC viewership.
