Montreal is another garbage team who gives us fits. Expect another loss

I’m guessing Leafs will have Edmundson in the lineup. Would love to see this team initiate the rough stuff. Start with a couple big hits and just keep throwing them for 60 minutes. Instead of trying to get a W by being the more creative team try and get one being the aggressor mixed in with creativity. Leafs mindset for the playoffs has to change. Playing nice gets you nowhere.

Looking for a much better effort tonight as well as seeing what kind of physicality Edmundson brings to the lineup. I read that Dewar is an excellent penalty killer which we certainly need help with. Also looking to watch Reaves exert some revenge on Xhekaj. Reaves said after that game that it was the first fight where he actually got jumped and that he would see him again.

Yes, I had forgotten about that little confrontation. Hopefully Reaves plays. Keefe might want to get a look at the new guy. Would love to see Reavo get some revenge on Xjakoff.😁 But the W is what they need most. Leafs aren’t going to catch Bruins or Cats but I’m happy with their position in the standings. I think Bruins would be the best first round scenario. But let’s take care of the Habs first.

I will give you guys credit. Always can muster up hope. Me? I'm doom and gloom. Just in a rut. Battling depression in my life so it boils over to sports. I wish I could shut sports down and not care. But my whole life has been the Leafs. Just so many years invested. But I have zero hopes this year
At least I can't be let down again.
2 points regardless would make me happy for a night.
I rarely drink these days. But may grab a few cold ones to have tonight. Change things up

So Edmunson dresses and he is sitting Benoit. Keefe says it kills him to sit Banoit. Well dope you don't have to. You can sit Brodie to start! Yeah let's sit the French Canadian kid from Laval , playing in Montreal. So done with Keefe.
Marner out. Day to day with undisclosed injury.

Marner, from SN:
listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury he suffered during Thursday's loss in Boston.
Circling the Bruins' net in the second period, Marner spun and shot from an awkward angle, twisting his right leg in the process.
Projected lineup for tonight
Bertuzzi – Matthews – Nylander
Domi – Tavares – Järnkrok
Knies – Kämpf – McMann
Hölmberg – Dewar – Reaves
Brodie – McCabe
Rielly – Lyubushkin
Edmundson – Liljegren
Samsonov

Losing Marner hurts. Say what you want but if Marner isn’t the head driver of the offence then he’s a close second. I like Bert up on first line. Knies works hard, throws his weight around but it’s time he moved down. Glad he’s alright after the f**kwit blind sided him. I hope it’s a rough game. They need tough games heading down these last 20 games.

Keefe says he wants guys to earn their spots and playing time then sits a guy on defense that has done a very nice job. Saying one thing and doing something else is just another thing I dislike about Keefe. It’s like when he called out the big boys and then apologized the next day taking it back. This guy doesn’t have the respect of the room. He’s worn out his welcome as far as I’m concerned. Benoit should be in there especially because his family is there. Keefe just doesn’t get it.

Keefe will be the coach til playoffs are over. I’m not sure he’s lost the room but who knows? To me he seems like he’d be ok to play for but that’s just me. If they fire his a$$ I won’t lose any sleep. Just open up another can of coaches. Hopefully the flu bug has run its course and everybody’s ready to roll.

Quite possible Dewar turns out to be a steal. Lot of good reviews on him.

I wish I could see this game. It was pulled and is on the NHL Network. I'm listening the radio broadcast on the TSN website.

But my whole life has been the Leafs. Just so many years invested. But I have zero hopes this year. At least I can't be let down again. I can relate to every bit of that. So many times ive just wanted them to, corny as it sounds, make me proud but this group has never figured it out. So Edmunson dresses and he is sitting Benoit. Keefe says it kills him to sit Banoit. Well dope you don't have to. You can sit Brodie to start! Yeah let's sit the French Canadian kid from Laval , playing in Montreal. So done with Keefe. I dont follow any other team and most def. not any coaches but Keefe has gotta be covered in pure luck. Benoit has been one of the BEST surprised and Brodie is old. Knies works hard, throws his weight around but it’s time he moved down. Glad he’s alright after the f**kwit blind sided him. Knies needs to learn other skills and not just protected by 34/16. He'll be better in the long run bc of it. It’s like when he called out the big boys and then apologized the next day taking it back. This guy doesn’t have the respect of the room. He’s worn out his welcome as far as I’m concerned. Benoit should be in there especially because his family is there. Keefe just doesn’t get it. Its like that old saying. You cant be a friend and a parent...yet he does. |
