GDT: Leafs @ Avs

[Budsfan]

 

[Albi34]

Time to put nylander and johnsson in the top 6. They have more than earned it.

 

[supermann_98]

I expect no lineup changes at all from Babs. After all, why change what doesn’t work when you can just force it to hopefully work?

Matthews should look uninterested again playing with two guys who skate fast and contribute absolutely nothing else to that line.

The PP will consist of everyone in their regular positions watching Mitch try slap passes off the pileup of players in front. Reilly will QB but please don’t ask him to shoot that’s a foreign concept.

Gardiner will probably throw multiple muffins up the middle to either MacKinnon or Rantenen ... of course if Soderberg doesn’t strip him and score all by himself.

Nylander will continue to set up scoring chances and make plays for Kadri who will hit a post and have about 5 other chances but will not score.

End rant, sorry ... this weather is really start to get to me, as is Babs sucking the fun out of watching Leaf games with his micromanaging coaching style.

I completely agree. I get more mad during the games instead of enjoying them because of babcock.

Snowed in today, so this is the only thing I'm looking forward to.

Normal winter can be jarring when it does decide to appear.

These are the days where it sucks to be self employed and work from home.
Wife and kids all got a snow day and are still in bed while I've been slaving away since 7:30.

 

[Suntouchable13]

After Thursday, Leafs don't have a start time later than 8pm the rest of the season.

Thank God

 

[Tall Morty]

Not a fan of the 9:00 start, but I’m happy there’s a game at least.

4-1-1 since the break/since Muzzin joined us. Please f***ing take it to the Avs tonight.

 

[justafan22]

Thank God

Other than 2 western canada games

LETS GO!​

 

[taurine330]

Is Ennis finally back in the lineup?

hehe. meanwhile, I look out my windows right now and am profoundly glad I'm a work at home consultant.

Other than 2 western canada games

And Stanley Cup final games

 

[justafan22]

And Stanley Cup final games

Even if they're on the west coast, it's 8pm starts.

 

[Not My Tempo]

The Avs are the most penalized team in the league, but something tells me we’ll still only get 1 PP or less

 

[razkaz]

Nylander - Matthews - Kapanen
Johnsson- Tavares- Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Hyman
Brown - Gauthier - Ennis
or
Johnsson- Matthews - Kapanen
Hyman- Tavares- Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Nylander
Brown - Gauthier - Ennis
​

Either way Marleau needs to be stapled to Kadri's left side, Johnsson needs to be on top line and send Brown to the 4th.

 

[socko]

Time to put nylander and johnsson in the top 6. They have more than earned it.

10 points in 27 games after sitting out a 3rd of the season and then showing up out of shape is earning something? Wow. You're an easy boss.

 

[Brown Dog]

Last game was when Gardiner got manhandled on that goal and the booing started. Would be nice to see him have a strong response tonight.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Why not the Mar Kad Mar line. Marner needs to spark Marleau.

Marleau Kadri Maner
Johnsson Matthews Kapanen (all speed and possession)
Hyman Tavares Nylander

 

[BertCorbeau]

Why not the Mar Kad Mar line. Marner needs to spark Marleau.

Marleau Kadri Maner
Johnsson Matthews Kapanen (all speed and possession)
Hyman Tavares Nylander

I'm more in favour of:

Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Marleau-Kadri-Kapanen
Lindholm-Gauthier-Brown

I'd be looking at bringing up Moore for Lindholm though .. And if Moore plays well enough bump Marleau to the 4th line.

 

[Buds17]

Is Ennis finally back in the lineup?

Still a bit on the early side in Colorado. Considering he's been activated and the team is coming off of a loss, I'd imagine he's back in. Should find out soon enough.

Naw, the league knows the PP sucks so its ok for the refs to be more even handed with the calls.

 

[1specter]

Generally I find this team loses to bad teams the first game and then stomps them the second. It happened with Colorado last year in fact (as well as Arizona).

No, we lost both games to Colorado. Bernier played in both games

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Last game was when Gardiner got manhandled on that goal and the booing started. Would be nice to see him have a strong response tonight.

Worst part of that play was the brutal pass from Marner that started the entire sequence

Does it matter? They can't score on em anyway.
