[stickty111]

This feels like the biggest game of the season because of tonight. Here is the problem. We could play great and still lose because of Freddy six.

Put Nylander on the third line.

 

[Atomos2]

Depends who's in net. We need to find a zamboni driver.

 

[MattySnipes]

Start Hutchinson.

Move Kerfoot upto line 2 and JT down 1 or 2 lines.

Move Rielly down to 3rd pair.

I would start Hutch in the 1st game, and if he plays even okay, I would give him the back to back. I'm not even kidding.

Let Andersen work on his Lego set. It seems that's what his mind has been on.

 

[Cor]

Start Hutch.

Waive Vesey tomorrow.

Do some crazy shit line wise.

Thornton - Matthews - Marner
Boyd - Tavares - Hyman
Mikheyev - Kerfoot - Nylander
Galchenyuk - Engvall - Spezza

Muzzin - Holl
Dermott - Brodie
Rielly - Bogosian

Lmao just F my sh*t up fam

After the improvements that were made, this is on Andersen for this and the last game. When is Campbell back? It is not like the Leafs have that much options and I wouldn't want to waste /game on Woll just yet.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don't think it's as simple as playing a good team game. They did that today and it didn't really work.

For most players, having an off game generally means being invisible. Rielly and Andersen are prone to egregious and costly mistakes as if they want to hand the game to the other team. Tavares is sort of trending into that category too

 

[GlitchMarner]

It seems like no matter how good this team becomes record-wise and/or in terms of play, losing games in comical fashion always remains in the DNA of the franchise. I'm sick of it. Just play a full 60 minutes (or realistically a good 45-55) and beat those losers like they should have been beaten tonight.

Andersen wasnt very good tonight and I hate pointing at the goalie but if he was even average we would have won

 

[Mattavarner]

Realistically they wont change the lines much, maybe lehtonen in for dermott and Galchenyuk in for Vesey.

If they wanted to go the nuclear option they could run

Tavares-Matthews-Marner
Thornton-Nylander-Hyman
Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Engvall
Galchenyuk-Boyd-Spezza

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Remember how pissed off Dubas was last season after the Zamboni driver? This one is close. I expect him and Keefe to put their heads together and do something drastic to send a message.

 

[Martin Skoula]

We won't move them, but I can't help but feel that Rielly and Andersen's 10.5 mil would be better spent on a 7 million dollar D and a 3.5 mil platoon starter.

 

[TeddyBare]

Two 3rd period blown leads in a row.
Definitely not it.

 

[7even]

Bro I feel like one of the dogs in those ASPCA commercials

 

[Bellefour20]

Send a message to the team and don't attend the game.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Old habits die hard. Gotta knock some sense into these guys and get them to understand to not take anyone for granted and play a full gd 60 minutes. Coasting through 2/3 of a game on skill isn't good enough. I expect a very dominating game on Wednesday, statement game

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Give the team the day off, start Freddy Wednesday give him a chance to bounce back, stop with the "start Hutchinson" bullshit we know how that goes he does deserve an opportunity

 

[Maplebeasts]

Wait is Galchenyuk eligible to play on Wednesday? Was he not in Carolina at all? Also anything less than us clowning them would just be awful.

It's a back to back so Hutch is getting one of these games anyways.

I guess you could give him the second half if you want to give Andersen a chance to redeem himself, but he also looks like a guy who needs a break and you may want to give him less of a break between Ottawa and Montreal.

He is eligible to play right away. He likely won't though.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Run up the score. Dont blow the lead. if they dress a Zamboni driver dont lose to him. Flick the puck at Tkachuk after the game

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Hmm Hutch or Freddy who's given up 11 goals in 2 games to Ottawa. I suppose we could give Campbell the Millhouse treatment.
