Gonna be a rough night.

 

[Stephen]

They need a no Klingberg, no Reaves stance.

 

[Habs10Habs]

The Canucks seem to be off to a good start. As an outsider, I think this one will be a fun game to watch.

 

[Jojalu]

Canucks unsustainable PDO runs out tonight against a Leaf team who refuse to surrender less than 4 goals.

Or, they blow the doors off the Leafs.

I think it's the former. The Canucks are due for a stinker. I think the Leafs score early and often in this one.

Idk Demko is playing and that dude is a baller. I hope so, but I don’t see us scoring at will

My god that backend is a joke. Throw Samsonov in Behind that…. Nucks score 6 easily

 

[Sypher04]

Feels like the top 9 mix is close to, if not good now. So if Tre can just focus in on adding a couple D, and fixing the non Gregor two thirds of the 4th line then I think we will stabilize things.

Curious to see if Kampf looks better away from Reaves because he has not been good...

That "injury" for Klingberg really healed quickly

 

[leafsfan5]

Lagesson - Benoit has been good, why can't we keep using that as the third pair

 

[definedMF]

Klingbergs injury was as real as our cups in the last 70 years.

Keefe is lying through his teeth and honestly Benoit has been getting steadier every game.

 

[Sypher04]

The 11 goals the 4th line has allowed so far this year is the difference between being 3rd last in the nhl in goals against and upper middle of the pack.

They've also added some much needed grit in the crease.

 

[Leafidelity]

Glad to see McMann back, I liked him most of the Marlies crew last year

I am doubtful it changes much. I personally think it’s too easy/convenient to blame Reaves for Kampf’s poor play. It’s not Reaves fault Kampf is missing his defensive assignments and if he’s not being solid defensively out there he’s doing nothing at all for us.

I mean they look like they are essentially playing down a man... Reaves is late on every play, but Holmberg looked better than Kampf in that position so who knows?

Gregor is also super low IQ and looks lost often.

Kampf hasn't looked good though, so just would be curious seeing how it goes.

 

[1specter]

Expectations for tonight are low. Samsonov is going to be under the Saturday HNIC lights against a team that plays the Leafs as if it's their Stanley Cup final every time and have been red hot, and are also rested while the Leafs played last night. Seems like a bit of a disaster waiting to happen

 

[crump]

Not sure by body is ready for this. I know my mind isn’t. Last game before a week long travel break to Sweden. Just end this section on a high note with a solid game from Sammy. Maybe Klingberg will respond to the scratch. I told you my mind wasn’t ready for this.

 

[PromisedLand]

they are practicing with a 2nd game on a B2B? lol

should be interesting.

Reaves OUT McMann IN
Woll OUT Sammy IN
Benout OUT Klingberg IN

goalies at present are a wash IMO anyway given the defensive structure is freakin' garbage

question is can we outscore our mistakes tonight? I mean we ain't gonna fix "defense" in one day....

and bigger question

Is keefe's hard on for matthews-maner duo finally gonna be stopped when they don't do F all 5 on 5 together?

Benoit took a knock against Calgary.

gotta put coaching on notice too.... why the hell is hte Leafs' 4th line on ice against oppositions' top 2 lines is beyond me

Matthews is tied for 2nd in ESP
Marner tied for 19th in ESP

What are you talking about?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Man that bottom pairing is gonna be rough

I’m looking forward to no Reaves though. It would be hilarious if the fourth line looked amazing tonight

Excited to see Robertson continue to play, every game he looks more and more ready
