GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Florida Panthers Thurs Feb 27th at 7:00pm

[al secord]

Put Rosen in. Might be a bit of calming influence on the young Swedes on D.

 

[tom leafers]

DET fan says theyd give us Daley for a 6th. I’m sure OTT would give us Hainsey for a pick.


Honestly might be the best optiom

we can acquire them, they just cant play in the playoffs, right?

 

[Cor]

Exactly. Would be something to help get us to late March when Rielly and Muzzin come back.


And Ceci, technically

 

[sxvnert]

Dermott-Barrie
Sandin-Holl
Rosen-Liljegren

Barrie & Sandin have been terrible. A more defensive system would greatly help.

 

[Cleetus]

if we can pull out 2 points here, with this D it would be a miracle...

The forwards have to work their asses off getting back and protecting the D, there's nothing else for it

 

[Cor]

Rosen and Liljegren were a regular pair last year with the Marlies IIRC.

maybe something we see reunited, with Sandin with Barrie and Dermott moving into Muzzin’s spot.


Hold onto your butts

I agree its the only way... gonna need the whole team to be committed to D.

 

[tom leafers]

for those that havent seen, Muzzin is out 4 weeks with broken hand- Maple Leafs' Jake Muzzin out four weeks with broken hand - Sportsnet.ca

Jesus, we cant catch a break (no pun intended)

well if we do make the playoffs, wel be getting soup, Reilly, and Muzzin all back. Its basically like a trade deadline and acquiring 3 really good players. right? right??

Correct. They played together down the stretch and playoffs.

 

[Kiwi]

Those kids on the backend are talented, they can do a job if we commit to team defense and fight to get pucks out of our own zone

 

[Erndog]

There's 10 pages on it already. We've seen

 

[Mikeyg]

Im telling you right now, we need to play Campbell in this game, fred has had a few better performances lately but hes been terrible vs the panthers, we cant afford this shit.

 

[BlueBaron]

If Muzzin can't play I'd say it's pretty much a guarantee that Marincin is in.
No idea what Babcock sees in this guy.

You figure Keefe has to copy Babcock? Your statement is a bit confusing.

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Question is:

Do you go all out offence now and hope andersen plays like he should?

Or

Do you play trap hockey and counter attack which we know this team isnt good at all?

A balance is always good. Your best strategy is still play in the O zone as much as you can.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Dermott - Holl
Marincin - Barrie
Sandin - Liljegren

Big Oof

Speechless.

4-2 Panthers, 2 good games in a row may be too much to ask.

Matthews

Ouch.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Hyman Matthews Marner
Kapanen Tavares Nylander
Engvall Kerfoot Spezza
Clifford _____ Malgin

Dermott Holl
Sandin Liljegren
Rosen Barrie
Marincin

I think a platoon d group is a good idea.
Most of these guys get in over their head when being relied on for big mins.... having a guy to rotate through (even if Marincin) is a good idea imo

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Ratings look sketchy.

That's 3 key D out.

 

[egd27]

Dermott-Barrie
Sandin-Holl
Rosen-Liljegren

Barrie & Sandin have been terrible. A more defensive system would greatly help.

If only someone would try to teach them how to play a boring, low event hockey game.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Don't want Keefe playing Marincin. Rosen even with limited experience is a better option.

I don't disagree, I just think that's what Keefe will do.

 

[kevsh]

With Muzzin now out the Leafs will just have to play like there's an emergency goaltender in net.

In their net, that is.

 

[Marner]

We need Tavares to show up like last night.

 

[stickty111]

7 D?

 

[MapleLeafs77]

7 D?

Please have 7D. I cant take having marincin playing a regular shift.
