Perhaps if you watched the game and didn't just read the boxscore, you would have realized he played quite well.1 goal in 14 games. I wonder what the excuse will be this time for Marner.

Same number of PGTs as goals tonight. Respect.
I would like to see them ease Willy in at C on a line with Marleau, so they can split the duties and bump Marner up with Matthews to give that combo a legitimate try. If it doesn't work switch back, but I think you at least have to give Matthews and Marner a few games together at some point to at least see if there is chemistry.I'd like to see Marner play with a legit top tier C. I feel like he has gotten the short end of that stick as compared to Willy.
there people go blaming the D core again, they only gave up 28 shots that isn't an unreasonable amount how about the guys paid to make saves, actually make a few, how bout that? Andersen looks to be getting on track but Mctrash is still mctrash

I switched to Firefox just for this site, works much better.I have to say, I have watched them some, enough to say their D play is just down right bad. The gaffs that Zaitsev has made are just bad. People talk about their 5 and 6 d-men but let's be honest here, they have all played bad and that is just unacceptable.
The other thing is this new site just bogs down web browsers-frustrating.
I liked him quite a bit. He was very competitive in our zone and showed lots of hustle in both ends. He had his moments where he threatened offensively as well. His speed is honestly incredible. I'm curious to see what he'd look like in a scoring role with us.how did Kapanen look?....for anyone that stayed up
Why do you have to do that?
This makes the most sense to me.Did I not explain in my post why I would do that?
Why wouldn't they try it? Are we winning a boatload of games right now? It is fine and dandy if the Matthews line is playing well, but you need more than one line firing on all cylinders. There is a good possibility that Willy centering his own line driving play on it could ignite a 2nd line, and Marner could be just as adequate a partner for Matthews on his line as Willy is.
Mathews has the skill set that he can play with anyone. I' like to see marner and nylander together. See if marner can get nylanders goal scoring up. I'e liked marleau at center. Looks like a significant upgrade to bozak.
Bozak needs to go imo he just looks lost out there and jvr looks lazy. His defensive game has gotten worse every year. And won' backcheck. Trade them both now before their lazy behaviour rubs off on the rest.
This makes the most sense to me.
Hyman Matthews Marner
Marleau Nylander Brown
Yep, for sure.I like those lines. Kapanen is a guy who could look good on the right wing of the Nylander line with Marleau as well.
I agree with AppsSyl. Have you guys seen our teams stats with Matthews and Willy on the ice and without? We’re like two different teams. We need more than one line going
I was really looking forward to finally getting to see a good Leafs team visiting Cali being such a die hard Leafs fan myself. Must say I was a bit disappointed. They are a young team and can play so much better though. May be Babcock can play a safer system to limit turnovers as that is killing the team most nights.
You got it only one answer. Needs a line and to be a C. Give him more ice.
