Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Flyers- December 3rd

[Coachcorner]

Rielly being that leader mayne. He tight like Barrie is, even more of a leader of course sire. And I'm bout that! (!)

OT on ON TOPIC: That hutchison start wednesday mayne: We bout to play our finest game in front of hutchison. Since we decided the route is still to go with him, our team will play to the fullest and sacrifice their bodies and blood all in front of michael hutchison. They bout to roll on that thang hard. We as followers are bout to witness it and see how the end result is gon be mayne.

That lineup..... and Moore still has to come back lol

 

[Fonzieleaf]

Kapanen had almost as many linemates as girlfriends this year.

You saying Kasperi is a ladies man?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Well Sabres might be catching fire now. Winning 7-1 currently. Leafs need to stop pretending they are the best team in the league, put their ego's aside, and outwork the other team on a consistent basis. Another 3-4 game win streak.

 

[Battle Lin]

hyman still needs a few games to really get going, hes gonna work his way up to a top 2 line with that defense and hustle...but imo mikheyev plays above hyman and johnsson

I don't think the Leafs are pretending to be the best team in the League.

Agreed. With Babcock, they were actually pretending to be the worst team on the league.

Here's a sad thought for you.
The Habs are on an 8 game losing streak. Terrible. Just terrible. And if they win their game in hand, we would be tied.

We have to win our games. I don't worry about other teams.

What I would like to see when fully healthy.

Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
Soupy-Tavares-Marner
Kerfoot-Spezza-Kappy
Moore-Engvall-Hyman

I am some excited to see that PP when Marner is back wow. We will finally see our big 4 together .

And for more than 50 seconds!

yes the big 4 and Barrie, gotta love that. Hope they rip the league apart with it.

I'm wondering if Keefe is experiencing his inner Babs, I can't believe that any coach would bench Spezza over the Goat.

I think that line Spezza is on will be the 4th line for that game. Both him and Petan wouldn’t be practicing on the power play otherwise. I hope Shore is off, but if they plan to roll two different 4th lines putting him with two skilled guys might make an interesting group.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

maybe he needs more height against the flyers...i dunno.

Just saw the Marlies highlights from Sunday night. When was Marincin sent down? He played Friday and Sunday for the Marlies.

If you just go by straight losses the Sabres went 3-11 in November they aren't catching fire just because they beat NJ

 

[AvroArrow]

Is Marner playing tonight ???

Maybe it would help the Leafs if you went and made another mainboard thread praising the Sabres, or maybe another one proclaiming how the Leafs will miss the playoffs?

See all those W's? That means you can be be hopeful for once.

I love this. Stacking the Powerplay now that Marner is almost back, and Rielly demoted to the 2nd PP. Hyman on the 3rd is great as well. This is exactly the way it should be.
Keefe is doing the obvious things Babcock wouldn't.

Interesting that Johnsson is off the PP. No Johnsson or Kapanen.

since he already passed waivers they just loaned him out to Marlies a couple of games ago.

Seems odd considering Spezza and Petan aren't slotted on a regular line. Wondering if Johnsson and Kappy will end up on that second PP.
