[Alerion]

Jack Sparrow: Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly… stupid.

Hainsey? He's an old gud pro. And you can always trust an old gud pro to be old and dull. Honestly, it's the young fun ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... interesting

 

[Legion34]

Yep. Hainsey needs to drop to 3rd pair and P.K.

Need a top pair d for rielly. Unless they want to try

Gards. Rielly.
Derm. Z
Hainsey oz.

 

[MJ65]

Not going to catch Seguin

 

[Fogelhund]

Record over the past decade is 26.8% for the PP, 2012-13 Capitals.
The Canadiens were 31.9% in 1977-78

 

[weems]

You'd never know Kap was finnish.

Perfect english.

 

[PromisedLand]

I can't even imagine how bad the Leafs are going to shred teams offensively when Nylander is back

 

[Torontonian]

Please do not let Dallas score in the first few mins of the period.

That call on Patty also looked weak

 

[Crazy Monkey]

You'd never know Kap was finish.

Perfect english.

Really well spoken too

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Missed up to the last few minutes of the second.

Is the D still leaky? How's Andy? How about the third and fourth lines? I see the offense and PP haven't missed a beat.

The D has been solid tonight Ron Hainsey aside, Ron Hainsey needs to go or at the very least he needs ti be bumped down

 

[Peiskos]

You'd never know Kap was finish.

Perfect english.

Same with Landeskog, except he's Swedish.

 

[DavePoulin4PM]

It should be incredibly obvious to EVERYONE now that Nylander is expendable. You win with guys like Kapanen, not soft, primadonas like Nylander.

Kapanen is such a stud.

 

[Al14]

Still can't believe we get to watch these guys play for the Leafs!

The talent we have is incredible.

But, for how long, if they all want max monies?

 

[supermann_98]

sandin or liljegren in for hainsey…
hainsey is done, he's been brett lebda bad the first 4 games

Whoooa that’s so bad man, did he insult your wife? Lol

 

[lovemyleafs]

Nylander missing out on all these points... loool

 

[Peiskos]

2 goal lead heading into the 3rd, would be nice to finish this game 5-3 or 6-3. One period without surrendering a goal is all I ask for and I will be very happy.

 

[MJ65]

Another Matthews - need 1 more for a Hatty

 

[Albz]

Hainsy my god that Pk he looked lost... pylon

 

[The Man with a Plan]

He wears the A and veteran presence and gud pro. He will NEVER be a healthy scratch while Egocock is behind the bench.

What I find funny is the ego that some fans have to think they know better then someone who has coached and won at every level in the sport. Especially when they haven't the least bit of experience.

 

[Slyfox]

Scratch Hainsey and put any of Rosen, Borgman, Holl in his place.

None of them will be trusted by Babcock to play heavy PK minutes that Hainsey does.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Is marner the best passer in the league. Who is better?

Better passer or better playmaker? I think a list of the best passers may surprise people. As for better playmaker, I'd say he's up there. If you count pure playmaking, you have Bäckström, Kane, and Giroux. Widen it to chance generation via playmaking, and there's McDavid and then guys like Kucherov and Barzal. Getzlaf shouldn't be forgotten either, one of the top assist guys over the last three minutes if you go by rates. But Marner would probably be on the short list in either definition, though I wouldn't have him as the best in either.

As for passer, my sneaky pick there is Giordano. Makes among the most passes in the league, with a high level of difficulty and a low amount of turnovers. Purely in terms of technical passing ability, he's ridiculous.

 

[slozo]

This team is just a joy to watch . . . I don't mind the early season defensive leakiness.
Not like it's a trend or anything . . . right?

League-wide trend, I mean.

 

[Crazy Monkey]

Nylander missing out on all these points... loool

Lol

I'd be more disappointed about the $$$ I was losing. Just sign damnnit!

 

[Throw More Waffles]

It’s a tough situation for Hainsey. He’s too old (and arguably too under paid) for all the pressures the leafs are putting on him. He just can’t keep up anymore. And that’s more a testament to the leafs lack of defensive depth than anything on Hainsey’s part. He’s played more minutes this season than any one of our forwards.

 

[PromisedLand]

I think when Nylander comes back let him take kadris spot on the top PP.

2nd PP can be:

Johnsson - Marleau - Kap
Kadri - Gards

PP runs through marner (right shot) and then he has 4 outs to lay it (all shoot left)

 

[supermann_98]

Nylander missing out on all these points... loool

I really thought he’d only miss a game or two but it’s looking like it could easily stretch to 10-15 games. He’s really not been missed offensively that’s for sure
