GDT: Leafs @ Blackhawks 7PM TV. S/N

[Lauro]

It's ridiculously early but Tavares and Marner don't seem to have the chemistry I was expecting YET. They seem to keep bumping into each other or when one of them gets the puck the other guy isn't open. They'll work it out or I'd certainly be fine with Marner and Matthews together.

I'd prefer Kadri - Marner then.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Me too, because Mitch Marner is my favourite NHL player.

 

[DarkKnight]

Oz out on D tonight?

full 60 minute effort

 

[A1LeafNation]

We have a major Holl in our blueline...

That was one Holl of a joke..

 

[Koolboss]

That was one Holl of a joke..

Oh Holl yeah

 

[Leafs at Knight]

What the Holl are people going on about in here?

 

[thewave]

Oz out on D tonight?

They should have sent him to Russia when boarding.

 

[fahad203]

Sparks and Leivo fans can’t complain. Leivo has been getting his opportunities. He’s getting regular ice time and pp time. He has to produce.
I have been a big advocate of him, he has to get more done

 

[LeafsNation75]

I would love to see the Leafs score first and hold a lead for a lot longer we have seen in their first two games.

 

[saffronleaf]

I want some changes to help Matthews.

Do Hyman - Matthews - Marner or Marleau - Matthews - Marner or Johnsson - Matthews - Kapanen.

Little enis is not a 1st line winger.

 

[Mugzy97]

I like to leave the line combos to the $5M coach. Is that all we talk about in here like our line combos would make a difference?

When certain lines seem to have no chemistry whatsoever, changing them would not hurt. Babcock thinks Ennis should play with our best player, meanwhile a quicker, more talented RW is rotting on the 4th line.

 

[Torontonian]

Perhaps our 3rd and 4th line will do something tonight and might get us on the board.. Goalless in our first two games.

 

[member 262271]

Hopefully being on the road relaxes this team a bit, hoping for a good game and really rooting for Sparky.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Of course they fail to mention that last season the Leafs won both games against them.

Using irrelevant W-L records from years ago

 

[beleaf101]

Every game Holl plays in he scores. Keep the streak going

Holl & Oates

Using irrelevant W-L records from years ago

Plus the Leafs only play the Blackhawks 2x a year and I remember a stretch of years where they would only play them 1x a year.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Every game Holl plays in he scores. Keep the streak going

He also has a shooting percentage of 100% in those 2 career games.

 

[Craig Button]

Every game Holl plays in he scores. Keep the streak going

He's a Holluva gud pro

 

[Duffman955]

Came into the thread for an intellectual discussion, but all I see is a Holl lot of puns

 

[TAYGB52]

From the hfboards perspective... Sparks has to have a great game or it's the end of him and the world.

I get what you’re saying but if I’m starting a new job at frickin’ KFC or something tonight...I want it to go well! It won’t be the end of him but a backup goalie only gets so many opportunities to prove himself. And we don’t have another back-to-back until early November. Just saying

 

[Apotheosis]

Marner and Tavares should feast on Schmaltz' line. Should be an interesting game to say the least.
