Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Predators Thursday

[The Winter Soldier]

Shea Weber doesn't seem the same since Suter left Nashville? -2 0 points this year. -2 last season after being a plus player for almost his entire career.

Caught a little of Seth Jones the other night and he looked very good.

 

[false bobo]

I hope we burn the ****ing boats, stadium, ice the whole ****ing NHL Bag skate these ****ers for taking a night off.

And Carlyle, come to your senses and take that POS bozak off of PP unit for goodness sake

Do you dream about Bozak as well?

 

[Peasy]

If Orrs playing with Kadri i honestly might not watch the game, it seriously pains me to watch...

Maybe it's possible that Suter was the better player all along?

Last year is a poor example. The entire team was owned by injuries, and alot of players had down years. Despite that Weber was still putting up beastly numbers. Weber still remains among the elite dmen. Id take him over Suter all day long even though Sute's still very good.

No doubt they complimented each other very well. Saying that, I think Suter showed last season he is fine and well without Weber for those that thought he was the weaker link of the 2. Suter is a heck of a defenceman in his own right.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

80% of the team are AHLers. We wont be going very far like this.

Bozak's playing with JVR and Kessel and that pains me to watch...

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I'd be mixing it up a bit more.


Ashton - Kadri - Kessel
JVR - Bozak - Leivo
Raymond - Bolland - Lupul
Broll - McClement - Orr


Gunnarsson - Phaneuf
Rielly - Franson
Gardiner - Brennan


Bernier

Why not this prolly the best chance to lol.

I'm curious to see Jones and Ellis now

Weber def scoring tomorrow night

Should have kept my mouth shut till after the game. Weber will probably score, reverse jinx.

 

[Magic Man]

I thought the same. I talked myself down for now, though.

I'll probably snap about mid-way through the 2nd and break the remote or something.

 

[Leafidelity]

Why must you guys force me to watch clips of Wilson and Lebda?

And Giguere. We've come a looong way.

Just call us SLUMPBUSTERS!

 

[Rare Jewel]

Possibly so.

I tried to make it as balance as I could. The first line puts the most gifted winger with the most gifted center, Which after watching last few games with Bozak, I think change is needed. Ashton provides size and grit to the line.

With the 2nd - Bozak should be a nice defensive foil for the rookie Leivo in his first game; But as a group of three they should be able to create both on the rush, And on the cycle.

The "3rd line" seems to have chemistry so keep them together.


Just kind of spit balling, But the main idea is to put Kadri and Kessel together, Then form the lines from that.

 

[The_Chosen_One]

You need to remember that Bolland likewise has yet to produce 50 points in a season (which I'm assuming is what you meant, because Kadri has indeed produced over 50 points total in the NHL). In fact, Kadri's production last year was only three shy of Bolland's career high, even though it was a shortened season.

44 points is not 50 points. I guess that could be said about Bolland as well with his 47 point season. However, he produced those points while being utilised in a very defensive role. Kadri, on the other hand, has been sheltered. Regardless, I think we really need to distribute our offence, and even consider shifting JVR to Kadri's wing.
