Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Lightning-well lets see what we have

[stickty111]

Going into this game with no expectations. The best way to enjoy this season.

I like this

 

[Carltons Cup]

Like: Nylander back with Matthews
Dislike: Kapanen with JT and Marner. Kap has not been an effective LWer

I would have tried Spezza on that wing, kept Kap on the third line and bumped Malgin to the 4th line.

Also swapping Marner and Barrie on the PP is at least a change but it's less about personnel and more about how they decide to move the puck. They need better coaching on that front to get the PP unit moving around to open up lanes.

If you put Spezza on that 2nd line, you'd have one of the slowest lines in the game. That's almost Jason Allison slow, but not quite that slow

Morgan coming back is HUGE for us. Slides the LHD to rolls and minutes they can handle

 

[m1ker]

the team needs 2 more Hymans on LW and we are solid

 

[ToneDog]

We have our version of that on the right boards though. Coaches fault that our sniper is a lefty for sure

Sure we do so why is our coach flipping Marner for Barrie?

Most likely to give Marner more space and options, also to have a passer instead of a shooter on the point. Think of it more as moving a Nylander to the right boards and swapping Barrie for morgs.

Also did you completely forget about Matthews? Cause it sounds like your completely denying my claim of having a sniper on the right side of the PP.

No I did say "sure we do". My point is Marner is not the best option on the left boards because he does not have that one timer. As you say he is a better passer from the point.

 

[Legendary]

We'll see what this team is made of

Cash?

 

[Coachcorner]

I mean mayne like, our andersen might let in a couple but he still a battlerer who might win this hit squad tonight sire! He bout it bout it mayne!

Also uh, marner tavvy together again makes us INSTANTLY BETTER as a team whole. Bank on that and LEARN BOUT LIFE tonight son, of anarchy. Like we bout OUR MONEY! Others be jelious and want to be US, think how deep that goes. Hard like that son.

So uh, yeah, marner with tavvy = scoring and better D. Also rielly makes barrie better, (confidence and not fans following and creepin on a comeback only on barrie) Rielly too now mayne. :leaf: :maple leaf: : :toronto maple leafs:

The way you worded it to me seemed sarcastic, that’s my bad, but my main point going back to my original comment is that we don’t need to have two shooters (one on each board). Although, I can agree with you on being a fan of the change.
