Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Bruins- teams needs to play better.

[stickty111]

People can blame Sparks all they want, but reality is Freddy has been masking a lot of the problems, which Sparks cant do.


Lines are good but dont like Brown with Kadri, all though Nylander is a good move by Babcock. Brown brings down every line he is on, and no its not "people blaming Kadri's problem in wingers". Kadri needs to be better as well.

I am eager to see more of what Johnsson-Matthews-Kapanen can bring. I hope this is a fun one.

 

[stickty111]

Marleau wont be scratched, but I rather put one of the kids like Marchment or Moore there.

i don’t like william with kadri because they haven’t been good together. but it’s probably only until he is up to speed.

I don't want Johnsson and Kapanen racking up the points with Matthews lol. Put the guy who's already got paid with him!

Joking but not joking.

You can't think like that. Every year you will have some good young player up for a contract renewal.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Put Marleau with Kadri and Nylander and I like those lines.

 

[Buds17]

Yes. Assuming Marleau will be playing, I'd guess Marleau replaces Brown, with Brown then replacing Gauthier, on the practice lines.

 

[Kurisu]

Start the game when the puck drops please. And I don't want to lose to the Bruins, hate them. grrr

I don't think it's completely fair to blame Sparks but it's not like he needed to play that well last last night. He let in goals he should have stopped, yes there were defensive breakdowns but he had a bad game.

We have been pretty sloppy despite our record the last few games. Hoping for a serious beat down game vs the Bruins.

Thankfully they're only practice lines.

Johnsson-Matthews-Kapanen Poggers

Giving old man Marleau a day off. He will slot in with Kadri and Nylander, Brown will replace Gautier.

The team will bring it on Saturday and play the best game that they have in over a week.

 

[kevsh]

I'm fine with those lines assuming Marleau replaces Brown on the 3rd line. Johnsson/Kapanen with Matthews is a no-brainer to me, hope they produce and force Babcock to keep them together. I see that trio doing lots of damage.

 

[Cor]

Sparks isn’t starting?

We have a chance at least

 

[Bluelines]

Hope our boys realize that this is a contact game and they make sure Ratchand and Pasternck spend the game on their asses.

Dermott seems to be going out of his way to play more physical, I got my money on him railroading Ratchand into the ice.

Kadri take out Pasternack ... pullllllleeeeesssseeee.

Funny joke I heard Marchand tell an interviewer he said one of the Habs told Marchand ..... He said Marchand is the only guy in the league that can smoke in the shower and not get the cigarette wet...

LOL look at him embrace his inner rat...

 

[Peiskos]

Bruins have lost 3 straight and are at home, even though they are dealing with a lot of injuries you know they are going to come out flying and play hard especially against us. This is going to be no easy game. I expect a better effort after that pathetic start last night.

 

[LeafGrief]

If the boys play like they played in the third, we can beat any team in the league. As Babs said earlier in the year, we have to keep putting the work in along with the talent. The winning streak was a bit too heavy on the talent, not quite enough work.

I don't want Johnsson and Kapanen racking up the points with Matthews lol. Put the guy who's already got paid with him!

Joking but not joking.

Let the kids rack up the points and then trade one of them for a defenseman.

 

[Cleetus]

we must come out way better than we have been, or Boston will run the leafs right out of the building, I think we will come out hard though go leafs go!

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Exactly who is out for the Bruins ?

 

[stickty111]

Sparks isn’t starting?

We have a chance at least

We lose with Mac in net as well so it doesnt matter

 

[stickty111]

It was probably Sparks that caused it

 

[ZEBROA]

Kadri and Nylander? Why? Did the bus fail again?

 

[LeafChief]

Any update on Marleau? Was it just a maintenance day?
