Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs arizona coyotes
- Thread starter Nhlpowerweek
- Start date
I'm sure anything less than a 5 goal differential and any more than 2 goals scored against will be considered an absolute disaster.
I'll just be happy with a win. Arizona has a way of Leafing us.

You do realize that those guys are not going to be playing for the Leafs short of an injury, right?
Would not be surprised to see both Robertson and Mete back down by next weekend when the Marlies play again. Simmonds can stay since he is not playing for either team anyways.

Based on practice lines it looks like Robertson is drawing in for Malgin.

We always seem to lose to these clowns, even when significantly outplaying them.

Whenever this team senses a talent disparity in the opponent, that's when the potential for things going sideways is at its highest.

Monday games used to be brutal. I’m not sure but my sense is we've done better on Mondays in the last 2-3 years. I would have to check.
Nick Ritchie returns. Also Kassian is in their lineup. Could always take Engvall out and put Simmonds in. Would love to see Robertson in the lineup as well.

Malgin is playing in the spot he always plays in. Robertson directly took Nylander's spot at 2LW beside Tavares.

Why? If Arizona is stupid enough to put Kassian out against anyone except our 4th line, then they deserve to get caved. And against our 4th line, let him be physical. Our guys would be more than happy to return the favour.

Sorry you was right. My first instiction is when I see simmonds name is for him to play and bring the energy for us. but yes you was right, robertson comes in first this time. He might even score a lot in his first game. Also simmonds might be in because this game is already over when it even starts. We might rest some of the better players with fysique. Simmonds just brings in the steady body here and also those hits (maybe 4 in this game). Liam O'Brien, Conan's causin is also in so they might bring the Ali vs Foreman in this one.
Dont't forget Conan's causin, Liam O'Brien. He is a heavy weight in today's nhl. Always looking for that weaker opponent to beat.

Vejmelka has given up 11 goals in 2 games, so you know he's going to have the game of his life against the Leafs (again)
This is a game where I feel a win isn't good enough this needs to be a blowout.
While nothing on this team is outright terrible so far, in fact parts of it have performed very well, namely Tavares, Nylander, the PK and Samsonov.
The offense, While it has looed better each game, is not quite firing on all Cylinders, Matthews, Marner and Bunting all have 2 points in 3 games, not terrible but they haven't had that breakout game yet.
Tomorrow night they have Arizona, tomorrow night they need to feast on Arizona, the offense needs a breakout game to get this team going like it can.

But this is also the spot he would have been if he made the team. Willy is a natural rw

I think this is a great opportunity to get Samsonov on a roll.

Playing run and gun can hurt in the long run. I prefer a disciplined game where players are focused on playing right instead of padding stats.
I regret posting about how easily the Leafs should win in the first game (against the habs).
Normally this should be a blowout but .... Leafs like to play down to their opponents.
Basically just hoping for a win here.
(This is Leafs PTSD right here lol)

He needs to be on a roll in the playoffs. Kallgren, on paper, won’t get an easier game
The Leafs need to stay focused and win the game, no matter the score.
I would be more impressed if they play good, sound defensive hockey and win another close game than if they win in a high-scoring shootout with lots of goals and defensive lapses on both sides.
Either way, though, a win is a win. They don't get extra points for style.

Probably should find another alternative if this is the only team they can trust him against.
Be a shame to throw away an easy two points just to give a guy a chance
