A pretty good game for the boys. Really like the Marlies Grads, they all seem to be gritty, with good speed and play a simple game(except for Goat).

Tells us we should bump Moore up and run two all skill lines like Tampa. Hell get Grundstrom/Timashov/Marchment up here too and run 3 skilled lines.

Moore-Tavares-Marner
Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander
other skilled guy-Kadri-Kapanen
Hyman-Marleau-Brown

Can Bracco play Left Wing? He's exactly the kind of guy Kadri and Kapanen need. Or switch Kappy to left. Whatever. that line needs an playmaker.

Who ******* cares what he did in the world's? His playoff performance sucked and he looked wiped out, expecting him to play 65+ regular season games is dumb

There's a reason the bulk of teams try to avoid that many regular season starts for the starter, its a bad idea

I won't tell you what to do you, you don't tell me what to do, deal? Stick to what your good at, pissing people off in the prospects thread



Give him plenty, 60 odd games is enough imo

:laugh:

Too bad Pettersson wasn't playing so they have that excuse. Hughson and Simpleton mentioned it enough times, at any rate.
You do know it a nationally televised game and since the canucks sucked, they have to say something about the team

Good game. I live in Vancouver and watched it at a friends house where everyone else there was a Canucks fan. Going into the third they all wanted to change it to the world junior gold medal game. But I fought strong.
I probably heard 15 times that "things would be different is Pettersson was playing." But it was mostly tongue in cheek (maybe?)

Given the score, I tried very hard to not rub it in. Ok... not that hard.

hyman with his limited skills looks fine with tavares and marner, brown with a bit better skills looks even better imo, can you imagine how kapanen with even better skills and speed can look with them

just like how matthews playing with a great offensive winger and another very good offensive winger, that line looked so good tonight

As a Canucks fan who also enjoys the Leafs, as soon as I heard no Pettersson for this game, I knew it was a write off and likely blow out. Our team sucks without Petey.

Great performance by the Leafs. Canucks couldn't do jack shit.

I know there is half of a season left, but it seems like Boston-Toronto 1st round again looks most likely. Buffalo is not there yet and the other teams are trash. I think with home ice, we beat them.
We will beat them regardless. They needed to come back in the third period of a game 7 when 1. We had no Tavares, 2. Kadri was suspended for almost half of the series, 3. Andersen was god awful for most of the series and 4. Matthews and Nylander had bad performances relative to expectations.

Did you point out to them the colour of our goalies pads?

They should try to rest Hainsey a bit before the playoffs. Curious that they aren't. If Hainsey has value it is during the post season when he is rested
