Our effort was not good enough vs the sharks.
Gotta love that feisty dirty third line....
That a hard one for surely. Robertson and Simmonds finna gel together nicely. Expecting a lot of talking going on too., wich is key. We might actually win a game again because of simmonds being in.

Probably the most pivitol stretch for this core. We'll see what they got.
At least Kral looks to make his debut

I don't understand how Mete sits for Kral though...Holl is most deserving to sit but we don't do accountability here.

So "3rd line Bunting" lasted one game, Engvall gets rewarded for continuing to do absolutely nothing and Simmonds - who was being shopped around a few weeks ago because Dubas didn't think he would see enough action - is a 3rd liner again.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is the definition of a coach/GM throwing anything & everything against the wall and hoping something sticks.

Mete sits for Kral.
I hope Kral can exceed expectations.

I think he did in Junior for most of his time there? I could be remembering wrong though.
On the 3rd line no less.How low have we gotten that some expect a win when Simmonds is added into the line-up.
I guess 2 very nice assists wasn't enough to keep Kerfoot on the line with M&M.
Coach's decision or do the boys like Bunting more?

I wanted to draft him because I did catch him a couple times when I was into prospects...brain is old now and I am second guessing if I saw him at RD.

I’m guessing it went something like this
M&M go to Keefe and say……hey what do you think you are doing? We run the show here and we want our Bunting back

Everyone couldn't stop clapping and cheering for the truculence added when they won with Simmonds last week.
Now it's back to nothing will ever matter because no matter what kind of change done it sucks.
I agree with you though. I'd go full boat speed and skill.
I agree Holl has not been good, but maybe the coaching staff sees something different or his PK ability is the only thing keeping him in there?
Holl has sat before.
Might be time to hope they keep losing in order to get a major shake up.
I like keefe but he needs to go.

I could see Malgin getting a a few more chances but yeah he's gotta go soon if he can't start producing. He's not bringing much if he can't put up points.
Bottom six is still a big work in progress. Nothing really clicking yet. All this depth. You'd think a couple guys would be ready to run with it.

He was good in Junior but not spectacular. He did great in Czech league, but there is a real arguement his biggest development came in the AHL.
This D core could use that right now
Should be enough to fire Dubas
Malgin was second line guy according to Dubas and Keefe, now we have no Marchment, now no Malgin.

Only 1 defenseman has been on the ice for more PK goals against than Holl, so it's unlikely they value his amazing penalty killing ability.
I like Holl more than most, but it's just idiotic to keep forcing him into games. He's playing badly, he should be able to sit out

Do you ever stop going on about this trade?
The Leafs wouldn't have had Marchment anyways. They were not paying him 4.5

No - "Holl is an important piece that we need to get more out of it"
It blows my f***ing mind. Outside of being carried by a very elite Muzzin, Holl has been a very poor NHLer...why is does it need to be him that we get more out of? Others deserve a chance.
