Series Talk: Leafs vs CBJ Part 2

[Merrrlin]

Meanwhile Campbell hasn't given up a goal in 6 periods

On a scale of 1-10, how comfortable are you with Andersen? 1 being you think we will see Campbell as early as game two, 10 being Andersen will steal the series....

probably like a 3 or 4. Andersen is too good when he's on to write him off completely, but I don't see him as a very stable or reliable goalie

 

[Cleetus]

It's mainly a couple posters. They are only doing it because the Leafs aren't run by Lou and Babcock.

why must you divide everything... people have opinions and are allowed to post them, they dont fit your narrative, and you post this nonsense

 

[Knies iT]

To think that a year ago people were questioning if Mikheyev would even be an NHLer or Marlies depth is insane. I admittedly did not expect him to be this good.

He could legitimately be a 4-6 mill top sixer with a two-way game down the line. His chemistry with Tavares developed out of nowhere it seems.

Freddy lets in a quick 2 goals, really getting back into his 2019-20 season form.

I think we should start to judge how Andersen plays next Tuesday during their exhibition game against Montreal.

Looks like another Freddy 5 stinker on the books

 

[stickty111]

Robertson is on the 4th line now with Spezza and Clifford, Engvall back on the 3rd line. Also Holl is back

Hopefully this is a sign that Gauthier will be out for Engvall.
I love Gauthier's personality and think there is a spot for him on an NHL lineup, but it's not here.
Engvall and Robertson optimize the lineup.

I'm just so worried after this past season. He just didn't look good. But things can change hope he has a good playoffs.

Aren’t the teams stacked on Mathews side vs Andersen’s side

It's pretty equal for this sim game.

Thanks didn’t know about the team shuffles, agree more even now.

No worries.

I think Mikheyev will be a big upgrade on Johnsson in the top 6

He's a better defensive player that's for sure. shot's kind of a muffin though. and that was before the injury.

by all accounts his shot is much better now since he's worked on it for months

Is the shot better than Marners, I always thought his was a bit of a muffin.

 

[lovemyleafs]

I said it before and I'll say it again Mikheyev is gonna be the reason we win the series against the Blue Jackets. His size and speed is gonna give Columbus some serious problems. Dudes a beast and is gonna be the Leafs X-Factor in the playoffs.

 

[lovemyleafs]

SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Mikheyev was voted MVP of the scrimmages

It depends how they are going to use Robertson. Putting him on a 4th line is not really using him effectively, unless they plan on using him more as a special teams player. Gauthier makes more sense if they are going with Clifford and Spezza as his linemates... Or if they were really married to the idea of having both Engvall and Robertson, put Engvall on the 4th line RW.

This is most likely just Keefe experimenting again. He wants to see how Robertson (on his own and as a proxy for Johnsson) does on a 3rd and 4th line... And Kerfoot/Kapanen need to get used to having both types of players (Engvall and Robertson, who is relatively similar to Johnsson as a player) if Johnsson comes back at any point. Keefe knows what Gauthier can do by now, so as long as he is getting his reps in, he does not care where he is playing. Petan-Gauthier-Korshkov is actually a pretty good all-around line.

I agree. has the defensive awareness and offense, but more size. And hes so smart.

 

[IPS]

This added offense from Mikheyev is just the icing on top.

He's got his roots as a grinder and can be very annoying for opposing team's defensemen to play against.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Soups on!

Guys, it's practice. Stop writing off Freddy based on goals he lets in during practice. It's kinda weird. The players are using camp to get back into shape, not to play at their peak level.
