The problem is that they don't get a lot of PP's and they have limited game time practicing it.
This team needs to learn how to draw more penalties.
Perhaps Babs should take a page from the Italian soccer team training book
Considering Matthews scored more goals in his rookie year than Tavares scored in his career high and his PPG in his second year tops Tavares career high I will let you argue for Tavares being better but offensively I don’t think it’s even closeIsn't it reasonable to suggest that Tavares and Marner are our best two forwards?
Sorry, but Matthews has not done anything this season to prove that he is our best all around centre. At this point in their careers, Tavares is better.

does anyone know when is the leafs bye week?
Its grouped with the All Star Game. We play tomorrow and not again until next Friday (Feb 1)
I’m in agreement there. Although even a win won’t help that we haven’t been able to put together a win streak in a while. But way better than sitting on a 3 game losing streak until next month.Please win. I dont want to sit and stew for 9 days about a losing streak
Thanks!
so i guess other teams get extra rest then? all-star break and the bye-week?
or are all the teams having the same bye-week?
Some teams are on their break right now

How so? we lost 1st round same as now to the same team only we didnt get pushed around and we didnt have Mathews, Marner, Tavares, Kappy. Truculence does not mean a goon or a facepuncher, but adding two Gary Roberts, Tom Wilson, Simmonds, Reeves prototype players with one physical D to this line up and you can dance with any one or play multi styles, dump and chase, fast pace etc and I can guarantee this would give the rest of the team confidence and the work ethic would spreadThe team didn't get anywhere when it had truculence and fighting. They were a significantly worse team.
We can never have too much adversity.A win is fine but a loss gives us more adversity
Explained below. It creates a logic defying cognitive bias that hurts the team.What does any of this got to do with having a big ego?

I mean, the guy waits and waits to get into the lineup and gets his big chance. Double clutching the stick is totally expected. I cringed when that happened too but I immediately let it go. If I recall, he had at least one more similar play before the period was over.
One day I'd like to simply see Nylander and Kadri swap spots..Matthews - Tavares - Marner
Kapanen - Kadri - Nylander
Hyman - Lindholm - Moore
Marleau - Gauthier - Brown
Let's see it for a game.. see if Matthews, Kadri and Nylander can get going offensively.

Hyman - Tavares - Mitch
Kadri - Auston - Johnsson/Kapanen
Marleau -Willy - Johnson/Kapanen
