Pre-Game Talk: Saturday night Leafs vs Sens (Payback like Gibson)

[stickty111]

Good to see Lilly in. Not the way I wanted him to be in but we'll take it. There is pressure on him to perform. If he does well, he makes it tough for Keefe to not give him more opportunities.

 

[Stephen]

Sounds like Holl has cold like symptoms and he's having a PCR test done.

It's just an odd spot where the leafs have 16 million tied up in super short term injuries. No way dubas could foresee this, I don't blame him one bit. That's what you get for maximizing the cap.

 

[The Podium]

Yup this team is not in cap pergatory

One game too many. Terribly mismanaged.

If this is true then Dubas should be fired on the spot for putting then in such a bad spot cap wise.

Ya Dubas should’ve predicted nearly 20 million in short term injuries…

This is literally a fluke happening and no amount of cap planning would’ve prevented this.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Any chance Matthews plays tonight? if no is he still on track for Monday?

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Bunch of things already looking like mistakes.

• The decision to keep Kerfoot.
• The decision to protect Holl.
• The decision to sign Petr Mrazek.
• The decision to sign Nick Ritchie.

Mistake #1 - Posting this 2 games into an 82 game season. Relax.

 

[Brobust]

Not surw why they wouldn't just waive Amadio and bring up Hutch. Run a short lineup up front.

It's not like he's really shown much.

Really simple and understandable logic there.

You will definitely use your 12th forward. You most likely won't use your backup goalie.

 

[kb]

My God.

It's nothing more than to invoke the emergency recall rules. Need to be short one roster player for a game for it to kick in. Now is the perfect time. Hutch can then be recalled, but not count on the cap.

Might as well use all avenues at your disposal.

Mistake #1 - Posting this 2 games into an 82 game season. Relax.

The goalie already has a 'long term' groin injury.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

The goalie already has a 'long term' groin injury.

It's already been said they don't think it's long term. Take a break, or a breathe, whatever works for you.

 

[Brobust]

I'm totally fine. Just strange how the team that took so much heat comes out looking like dog shit.

 

[ULF_55]

Add interest to another ho-hum game.

If someone hasn't said this I'm shocked, "Guess the Zamboni driver was busy."

 

[PromisedLand]

If this is true then Dubas should be fired on the spot for putting then in such a bad spot cap wise.

2 games into the season and Leafs are already dealing with "Cap" issues

LMAO

 

[SweLeafsFan]

If we have a safe lead with 10 mins left I hope we play Bishop.

 

[Advanced stats]

If it was 'long term' don't you think he'd be on LTIR?

 

[kb]

If we have a safe lead with 10 mins left I hope we play Bishop.

Safe lead like a 4-1 lead with 9 minutes left in the third?

I just opened up an old wound on myself. lol

 

[Torontonian]

The only issue is not having any of the hurts player be hurt enough to put on LTIR, which is good for us in the long run cause none of the injuries are significant. Bad in the short run.

This isn't the first time this has happened to a team in the NHL either, teams just decided to recall a backup goalie and went with 11F and 6D for that game. We did the opposite and went with a full roster and didn't call up a goalie.

Part of me wants this guy to play tonight and stone the Sens.

 

[Bellefour20]

A missed opportunity to call up Kurtis Gabriel's gf Mikayla Demaiter if you ask me.

 

[Ciao]

The Sens will be running Campbell all night long, hoping to get to the backup.

He's a sitting duck.

[MattySnipes]

NO LEAD IS SAFE for Leafs.

 

[fahad203]

Safe lead like a 4-1 lead with 9 minutes left in the third?
