GDT: GAME #12 | Vancouver @ Toronto | CBC HNIC @ SAT, 5-NOV 7PM ET

[Walshy7]

Can we leave the headlines to Friedman kypreos is so stupid

 

[Ziggdiezan]

If Brown can play LW I'd like to see him with Matthews and Nylander

 

[Daisy Jane]

I don't know why you'd break up the line. the puck is just not going in.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

What's there to change? They get their chances every game. Felt Nylander was the best player on the ice to not get a point against the Oilers. They had a so so game against the Sabres and look good again.

Hyman needs to go to the 4th line. Matthews nor Nylander trust Hyman to do anything with the puck. They don't pass to him at all.

That's basically what I'm getting at.

Matthews+Nylander = greatness.

Matthews+Nylander+Hyman = Two paddles and an anchor.

 

[Confucius]

Where them Bozak/JVR haters hiding?

Lying low Waiting for the trade, no need to depreciate his value.

 

[Purity*]

I'm not worried about Matthews. Every player on the planet goes through these stretches.

Marner continues to amaze me. I wish all of his haters were tied to a chair with their eyes taped open and forced to watch him.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Well, as long as they're generating chances I think they stay together. At most, maybe switch up Hyman.

I wouldn't mind swapping JVR with Hyman, might balance things out and JVR could crash the net. Marner is making space and I think Hyman would work on that line. Oh and give Kadri Sosh already!

 

[Crispy Crust]

Nylander needs to shoot the puck more and get a little selfish. He's been great. Matthews has five shots. This is like an every day thing for him. He's got more shots on goal than guys like Stammer and Ovie. Once he gets one, floodgates open again.

Right on. He is getting his touches, and getting a bunch of shots on goal. The goals will come.

 

[Leaf Warrior]

Matthews trade for Strome

It would worry me if he wasn't getting his chances. He's getting plenty of chances and one of them will go in

 

[Walshy7]

Lying low Waiting for the trade, no need to depreciate his value.

Jvr has done nothing and bozak has 2 goals and some faceoff wins. You think they just played their way into the future core?

Exactly,in the meantime we have someone to pickup the slack

Never hated on Bozak

Jvr still need to be traded. Because he holds more value

Yup, they'll pass it to him when their is NO other option.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

I know we're all in love with Garidner here.. But that guy's breakout is terrible. He either tosses it up the ice and misses everyone or holds on to it for way too long before making a sloppy pass in his own end, effectively killing all momentum and letting the other team comfortably set up their neutral zone defence. Needs to be addressed

 

[Crispy Crust]

Watching Nylander's offensive zone entries is something to behold. What a special player.

 

[Walshy7]

Yup, they'll pass it to him when their is NO other option.

Even then they hold onto it maybe get stripped as opposed to instant turnover of hyman

 

[Confucius]

vancouvers future core maybe, afterall they're win now we're down the road...

 

[Wendelstache]

The only thing I'd change on that line is ask Nylander to trust his shot a bit more.

I don't think the kid lacks confidence anything in his game, he just wants to make the highlight with great passes to Matthews which he's been doing... but nothing to show the last few games.

And I agree, he has an elite shot...just use it man.

 

[Leafidelity]

Matthews trade for Strome

 

[The_Chosen_One]

May need to consider that. The top line is being keyed on quite heavily and need a better left-wing solution. JVR would represent that.

Something like...

JVR - Matthews - Nylander

Soshnikov - Kadri - Brown

Hyman - Bozak - Marner

Martin - Smith - Komarov

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Jvr has done nothing and bozak has 2 goals and some faceoff wins. You think they just played their way into the future core?

I really don't think Bozak is going anywhere unless he prices himself out, every coach seems to like him and I don't think he's ever complained about the role he's given.

 

[Walshy7]

nvm!

 

[Mikey88]

If Brown can play LW I'd like to see him with Matthews and Nylander

I would just swap Hyman with JVR. Simple switch.

 

[Leaf Warrior]

My inside sources tell me Babcock and Management see major flaws in Matthews game. They are looking to trade....
