GDT: Dallas Stars at Toronto Maple Leafs 7PM SNO

[MapleLeafs77]

Would prefer to see Marner back with Tavares.

Matthews and marner are much better. Tavares and nylander are awesome.

Why change it?

According to the stars board Pavelski isn't on the ice so it looks like he'a out too.

No Radulov, no Pavelski BIG opportunity tonight

Campbell needs the rest more than Freddie at this point. He's been good but Freddie is still the man, if he's 100% ready it's a no-brainer IMO. Campbell will play again this weekend.

We have 6 games in the next 10 days. I would give Freddy tonight and Saturday night, Campbell the Sabers and roll Freddy for the Pens

 

[lottster14]

Need an actual solid, convincing win tonight!

If Andersen is healthy I'm playing Andersen. I know it's not a priority but if we make the playoffs it would be nice to keep Campbell under 6 wins so that 3rd doesn't turn into a 2nd. I'm not playing giving him extra chances just to play him against the team that drafted him for sentimental reasons especially when he's played a lot lately. He'll start the games we need him to. If that gets him to 6 wins then so be it. This isn't one of those games.

If he gets to 6 wins, then you move ahead and sign Clifford.

Very weird how keefe is experimenting with our season in jeopardy.

I am okay with it but if it doesnt work after the 1st then go back to the regular lines.

So the lines that have gotten the Leafs to the point of putting the season in jeopardy shouldn't be experimented with?

 

[Gary Nylund]

Haven't those lines been one of the few consistent bright spots this season?

Top two lines haven’t been an issue

Depends what Clifford wants TBH. 4th liners should not be making a ton of money, and right now Clifford is not a difference maker.

Clifford would need to take a discount if he wants to stay here. Otherwise, we have Korshkov, Gauthier, Timashov, Spezza and Brooks as internal options for next year, and all will be making under 1 mill each.

 

[PuckMagi]

I actually really like these lines. This is what I would be trying out if I was Keefe.

I've been wanting to see the holy trinity together for years!

Ummmmm do you remember babcock? Babcock is what got us into this situation. He also had different lines.

The top two lines have been great since being put together and have made us one of the best teams in nhl since.

 

[stickty111]

I don't mind it. If they aren't working, I trust Keefe to back to the old lines. With Nylander and Tavares both probably not at 100%, it's not a bad time to try it.

Agreed, if he's looking for any sort of significant raise, you pass. But his play over the remainder of the season will dictate whether or not there is interest in signing him. He does offer that ability to keep the flies away, and I don't think it's any coincidence that the Leafs have not been taking the amount of abuse they were prior to his arrival (small sample size alert).

I really try not to

Have to give credit to Campbell for holding the fort. 5/6 points is not too shabby. I'd argue he let in ~ 2 softies, otherwise solid.

Hope Freddy is rested, going to need the Vezina version for the final stretch.

The only thing I liked out of Clifford thus far was his commitment and that he has done pretty well defensively (so the main reasons why I think Dubas brought him in the first place) . He works really hard and plays at 100% all of the time. But he's taken some bad penalties and I do not think he's making much of a difference physically (so far). Hopefully he is more of a difference maker down the stretch and in the playoffs when it comes to being able to use his body.

Going based off of full season sample of last season. Those two were lighting it up.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

60 minutes....not 40....not 48....but 60 ****ing minutes.

The way things have been going... I think we should be asking for 65mins

Matthews is just flat out better than JT, so he should be with Marner. They are lighting it up even more.

This season has really shown that matthews is 10000% our best player. Not even close imo.

Ah...an excellent point.

No Radulov, no Pavelski BIG opportunity tonight

But Nick Robertson’s brother, Jason, is debuting tonight so you know what’s coming.

 

[al secord]

I've never prayed, but tonight i'm on my knees, yeah

What?

If they played a full 60 they wouldn’t need the extra 5
