TSN: Colaiacovo just put huge amount of pressure on our bottom D

[Coachcorner]

Colaiacovo was talkin bout that bottom D on Tsn. He was saying they should give us more and be better and do better. This talk is useless and shouldn't exist. These bottom guys now have dat huge presha on. They ain't making no millions of dollars... our other guys is. Like 10 million and dirt. Damn that that dollar baby. Our bottom guys are just there. Let them be. Let them live. Live these guys alone. We should never be even talking bout these guys. They ain't the reason. They just sitting on dubs and trying to win for us some. They ain't playing the most important minutes against the best fools. Nobody should never be talkin bout the bottom D. Let these guys alone and support. Don't put the HUGE pressure on these guys... now they be even worse, since everybody's talkin bout them and seeing them. Don't see them and don't never talk about these players. It shouldn't be allowed by media nore blogs etc. Y'all already know what I'm talkin bout. It's all big writing on tsn right now front page dirt and all. Leave our bottom D ALONE)!) Let them live.

People should talk only bout the million dollar baby like eastwood. Matthews, nylander, tavares, andy, etc muzzin rielly and them other guys. Let our bottom D alone and let them be Let them breath and let them live. They will never do better if y'all is talkin bout them. Talk about something else so the focus is not on them. It's with other guys on the team. Colaiacovo and them made a big mistake putting all that presha on em. Now look at them.... better yet, look away and let them just play and be.

Who cares. The Toronto media is what it is, may as well get used to it because it's not going to change anytime soon.

If anyone thinks that other teams get significantly better fill-in play from their #7/8/9 dmen, they're kidding themselves.

 

[Stringer Bell]

He's right though. We need more from them and they need to give us more. We're not asking them to give us top 4 quality, we're asking for bottom pairing NHL quality. And maybe they aren't NHL caliber but I guarantee you they believe they are, and they're also getting paid NHL salaries. It's not fair to vilify them if they can't meet our expectations but it's fair for us to have them. Things have changed.

The solution here is obvious - play your two legimiate top-pair dmen more minutes, and your two borderline top-4 guys less minutes.

the bottom pair guys are fine for their role.

 

[MarnerElite]

They were used pretty much perfectly last game and didn't look awful(although still kinda bad...Holl had couple of bad turnovers just due to the fact he couldn't pass the puck properly). But i do agree with zeke that pretty much all 7/8/9 dmen in the league are at an approximate level to what we have so nothing new there. I don't think they'll play any worse just because Cola is talking about them though.

 

[Buds17]

The world surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs. Tough place to be at its worst, and probably no better place to be at its best. Going to need contributions from the expected and the unexpected for success leading up to and during the playoffs. There's more responsibility and opportunity further up the lineup, but it can't end there.

Senor Coach Martinez has been doing this shtick for awhile. Not to be taken seriously.

It's so annoying as his/her schtick is pointless.

No idea what the OP is trying to prove.

 

[al secord]

Carlo is really showing his worth. That show of his is unlistenable.

 

[Nineteen67]

Id give them as much ice time as possible over the next few games resting Hainsey and Rielly as much as possible.

 

[Trapper]

Why on Earth would you put pressure in Marincin/Holl/Oz?

Are they making millions?

Who acquired them?

 

[DarkKnight]

Gold.
