Jake Muzzin thread

[zeke]

You guys never knew what a good player Muzzin was. Glad you guys enjoy him, pay attention around the league more. He's always been this guy.

 

[Antropovsky]

Would be Cody Franson actually, he just happened to be atrocious everywhere else on the ice.

Franson didn’t have a shot anywhere near comparable to McCabe..... franson was very skilled at finding a seam to the net. He couldn’t get shots through screens.

 

[zeke]

Nick Ritchie sucks.

shh.

grapes and most leafs fans like him better than willy.

 

[DoobieDubas]

fleeced la

 

[TakeTheBody]

So defense man still are allowed to hit aka (check) other team? Todd Gill and Bobby Baun are smiling. Welcome addition.

 

[Jackothy]

Where can we get another one of these guys? What a beaut.

 

[Stephen]

Wonder if Drew Doughty is happy with his decision to re-sign in LA?

 

[Craig Button]

That was one of the funniest sequences of hockey I've ever seen.

1. Lays out Corey Perry.
2. Draws a penalty for his effort.
3. Powders one past Gibson.

6 Muzzins, please.

That's what the kids call a Muzzin Hat Trick

 

[Ratboy]

This guy has a bomb from the point and offers an intimidating presence to our team. It's like the whole team has grown a few inches as a result.

100%. Love it.

 

[Aintboutdatlyfe]

Really puts into perspective how good a guy like Doughty would've been to have on your team.

Leafs currently have a norris candidate/elite tier #1 D on the team who is not named Jake Muzzin, btw.

 

[FlareKnight]

A great game for him. It was a nice way to show what the brings across the board. Solid in his end, great shot, physical, and leads to people taking stupid penalties against him. Muzzin has fit in nicely without much trouble.

shh.

[WilliamNylander]

Make him captain

 

[Clark4Ever]

That second period sequence was a thing of beauty. The whole team fed off the energy he created. He can put up points with the supporting cast on this team.

Would love to get a physical RD and winger as well before the trade deadline.

 

[hector morrison]

Would like to see that shot be an option for Marner on the PP.

 

[stickty111]

 

[Buds17]

Top pairing ES and utilized on both the PP and PK. Hits clean and plays with an edge without going over it. Fantastic game offensively tonight. Don't like to think too far ahead, but as the games progressively mean more, his impact will be increasingly evident.

 

[Puckstuff]

Leafs voted with the best core players under 25, but how many teams can trade and sign guys like Andersen, Tavares, Muzzin in their prime? This team is on the verge of something special.

Muzzin is a two-way beast. He's basically the perfect d-man we need. He addresses so much.

 

[Ghetty Green]

FYI that hit wasnt even that big. Thats a normal hit for him. Weight till you see him really nail some guys.

 

[Grapes1]

Haha. Good laugh

You are talking to southern Ontario brah.

Muzzin’s grow up in our back yard... just welcoming the bearded fella from Woodstock home.. dream come true for him. All good pal

Just happy someone on D is throwing them.

 

[Nithoniniel]

With all the credit he gets, and mostly deserves, this was probably his worst outing defensively. I was extremely impressed against Pittsburgh, this time he had some trouble getting the puck out, missed on a few pinching plays in the neutral zone, and had a few moments where he needed to get his bearings right.

 

[Marshy]

I see what you did there...

Would like to see that shot be an option for Marner on the PP.

I believe it's too early to say if he's a better option than Rielly on the PP but I would love to see him tried there. Muzzin brings that shooting element that our current core hasn't yet worked with.
