Jeezuz....Matthews has 7 goals in four games, he might get 50 in 39


Pettersson with another point today, six in three games, my prediction of 70 points just might come true for the kid

Horvat and Boeser are -7 already, not a good sign

@CraigJButton: I love Horvat, but I think when you look at the playmaking imagination of Pettersson, and the pure goal scoring or Boeser, I would be pairing those two guys up, because I think Boeser with Pettersson becomes a 50 goal scorer. I don't think that happens with Horvat.

This is exactly what I suggested the Canucks should do in that last thread.

Your Seguin, Benn, Radulov line in the pool is killin it for you. I almost grabbed Benn with my second pick, just ahead of you, but decided on Marner because I'd taken Tavares with my first pick. Anyways, working out for both of us!

I try.

I honestly wish Green would take Marky aside and say:

You really look like a f**uckin idiot with that goalie mask.

Make a f**uckin save in the first minute please.

Thank you.

plenty of time

The Leafs have 20 goals through four games, that's five goals a game or a pace of 410 goals....and Nucker was laughing at me for taking Leafs in the hockey pool.

Canucks have 15 in 3 games. Whats your point?

Wait a minute........you mean for.

Leafs are one of the best offensive teams in the league. I laughed because you're one of the bunch in here that get triggered by anything Leaf related even though they don't even pay in the same damn conference.

If they keep losing like this, I'll take it

I agree with Button in this case, Brock with EP might be a better match than with Horvat. I do like what Goldy is showing early and would be disappointed to lose that progress/potential by moving him in the line up. Having EP be the defensively responsible player and also drive the play for Boeser & Goldy seems unrealistic, though I’d give it a try...how can it be any worse than what they showed against the Canes??

Baer, Horvat, Jake
Boeser, EP, Goldy
Leipsic, Sutter, Eriksson
Schaller, Beagle, ...

I don't like button, but long term this is just accurate

You're just young, you'd have to be older to understand and appreciate where the hatred comes from.

I can disassociate my hatred for them from my goal of winning the prestigious HB Pool

Hand in your Nucks fan card.

Only 1 point for Gretzky last night?

It's feast or famin though. Would be nice to be scoring every day, but there's a lot of bums in my lineup

Just make sure he pulls him aside. The "Make a (frank)in Save" line doesn't usually go over well with the team if done publicly. Plus it results in Eddie Lack coming into your office after a shut out and giving you poop.

Or so I'm told.

Post-game Haiku

Defense is real bad
Trade Markstrom for platform shoes
Botch could use a lift
