Notice how often leafs D or leaf forward down low tried to spring a leaf F free lob pass or bank shot off boards or option b) constantly icing puck to derail entry and or setup of Vegas in leafs zone. Desperate hockey to get the win but no real cohesive attack plan. We’ll take the win but Babcock doesn’t have a true system in place. Run and gun entry like first 6 games of the season doesn’t work that well as teams catch on and block centre ice and neutral zone.

Dumping puck into O zone and cycling along boards is good but not all 4th liners have hands ie can make good plays with cycling along boards. Let’s see what babs comes up with as he tinkers and also if nylander returns as he is an offensive threat.

They probably were trying to take advantage of LV's slow D....Babcocks system is fine they are 10-5 relax.

Young kid Joseph hit that crap defenseman Russel into the boards and his face touched the glass, he pretended like he got shot, no call. Few minutes later Lucic body checks Joseph other side of ice from puck, lays on top throwing punches and face washes.

How Lucic is still in the league I have no clue.

Wow yeah suspect he is gonna miss quite a few games on that one.

No, of course not. Leivo isn’t Matthews and Fake isn’t Aetherial.

How did they play tonight, sounded like they shouldn't have won after losing to Dallas when they should have won?

Let’s just say, Andersen is an alright goalie.

Only 2 mins for Gardiner

He's had a strong start this season.

This.

Agreed, but it's really hard watching the goat play against a team as fast as Vegas... his lack of foot speed makes him look lumbering. Still, as long as we get the results, who cares.

He's on the 4th line getting less than 10 minutes a game; he's got a goal and two assists too. What do you want from him, a hatty every night?
- gravyface

kind of hilarious.... because Brown scored tonight now everyone starts complaining about about Leivo and the Goat...

(frank) greedy willy

trade him for trouba now

trade gardener for boyle +

they never should have gotten rid of him now we’re paying

see if we can get some more sandpaper for johnssen

we have enough smallish swedes with pencil necks

trade pennis for rights to that twattowa video

what a (frank)ing joke

Edit: nice alliteration

wouldn't be surprised a trade between Vegas and Leafs will be worked out.

Cody Glass + something (Miller??) for Nylander and something?

Leafs want to win now, trading a very good player for a weaker player who is a couple years away from making any sort of impact makes no sense. Also if trading nylander, trading for a not needed dman makes no sense.

Our gm isn't chiapet

This is fantastic..

Finally a game tonight. Feels like they haven't played much recently.
- Archaic

Still waiting for them to play

But we’ll take the 2 points

Nylander is out - accept it.
Miller is a RHD, top4. Great skater, bit more physical than Gardiner, and a great shot on the PP.
He's cheaper as well than Gardiner - whom the Leafs will lose after this season.
Glass can play in NHL next year - and is at least as good as a player (in 2y) than Nylander is now.

The point is that Nylander is very likely not going to play for Leafs this season, and traded away.

What date did Trouba sign the year he was holding out.

I personally would let him sit a year. If I was the Dubas.
