GDT: Preseason Toronto vs Montreal September 24, 2017, 7:30 PM, TSN4, Scotiabank Arena

Do you even understand what ‘recency bias’ is?

Dermott only played about what, 30 games last season? Sure, he played well in extremely sheltered minutes, but you really can’t call him an established player yet...

Dermott showed he can absolute dominate 3rd pairing competition.

He has shown far more at the NHL level than anyone else competing for that 3rd pairing slot and is certainly a lock at #3LD.

Don't think Carrick's going down, even if he stays up as a spare. That said, he has been outplayed by Ozhiganov, Rosen (and potentially Borgman).

Hopefully Johnsson-Lindholm-Kapanen do well tonight.

Wondering if Marincin can squeeze in that final 6th position.. Hoping Greening can find a spot too

Extremely doubtful on both of those.

Where? There's just no room for those guys. Marincin would be a mistake.

He has a promising career for sure... but to state that those that aren't convinced on the team are suffering from 'recency bias' is inaccurate., and unfair..

He got some of the most sheltered minutes you can get... I like Dermott as much as anyone here, but he was put in a really good situation last season... He performed well, but I wouldn't say that he is established yet.

 

[PuckMagi]

Those saying Dermott should not get a spot are suffering from some serious recency bias. The difference in our team last season when he and Kappy were put into the line up is night and day. Both are very important to our line up, and a couple of off pre-season games is not going to change that. Carrick on the other hand should be worried.

agreed. Dermott was great last season. he played like 2 periods in the first pre-season game and now everyone is writing him off? He's a top 4 defender when healthy and will be a huge part of our team going forward.

Dermott had comparable minutes to Borgman, Carrick, and Polak and blew all of their performances out of the water

Greening and Marincin making the team isnt a good thing for the organization.

 

[Stand Witness]

Mark Masters reminds me of Steven Harper

The only bottom pairing Marincin should be on is on the Marlies.

Get to the game....sit in my seat....Marincin on the jumbotron....f*** my life...

Need to beam Marty Marincin straight to the moon.

idk but I don't get it. don't teams usually play their good roster at home to make fans happy? weird that the leafs are doing the opposite

I know it's preseason but at least you get to experience a game in person.

I luckily have seasons tix....but Marincin still makes me vomit...

I will agree with you about Marincin and I wish he was not re-signed, however I assume he will once again spend the whole season with the Marlies.

Its time to start getting the real team together. Wednesday will be nearly the full roster

yeah but why not switch it and play the full roster tonight for the home crowd?

Alright...conspiracy time....in the pregame video, not 1 shot of Nylander...

 

[DarkKnight]

Lots of intrigue on the backend tonight. Also last chance for Sparks imho.
