GDT: Leafs in Buffalo: Part 1 - the Curtain Opens to a Familiar Foe (7:30 TSN4)

[mapleleafs34]

wrong. we're 2-7 in our past 9 games in buffalo. we still suck there and have always had besides the late 60's

2-1 record in the Matthews era, that's the key.

I'm happy knowing that Nylander is getting another chance at Centre.

Martin getting some icetime over the last few games does make sense - ie if the Leafs want any chance to trade him this summer with minimal salary retention.

It does but my fear is he'll stay in

I think Martin will do alright tonight. Biggest thing is they're taking out Polak. I tried to be positive about him earlier in the season but he ices it a ridiculous amount of times and looks slow. Having Carrick in seems like a no brainer at this point. Hopefully the new look 4th line can do well, and id like to see Willy have another solid game at center.

He can't be any worse than we have seen with Komarov and his recent play.

martin/kapenen opposites.

sometimes?

sometimes?

good point haha

If you just switched Nylander and Kadri, the lines would actually be good. Because then Hyman - Kadri - Brown could be used as a checking line which I think would be more successful than having Nylander there.

I actually like Kapanen with JVR and Bozak... they did well with a speedy Kessel.

gonna be 2-3 and much worse from here on out

feel free to cheer for another team any time now

Let's just have a good game.

Regardless of the lineup just need a good outing. Be nice to snap the losing streak. Even if we got some points in a couple of those defeats. Buffalo is probably embracing the lack of pressure so not necessarily going to be easy. But need to get going again.

 

[ShaneFalco]

How long do they keep Willy at C?

 

[ACC1224]

How long do they keep Willy at C?

I imagine until Matthews comes back.

 

[Mess]

How long do they keep Willy at C?

Kadri, Bozak, Plekanec, Moore at C = little time for Nylader at C even without Matthews.
