We don't have much choice on D I guess, analytics guys say Hainsey could be replaced by anyone in the AHL...and then we watch these replacements yikes
- Garnie

Hainsey would be one of the better 5/6 in the league.

I don't understand why we don't play L/R pairings with what we have up:

Rielly Zaitsev
Muzzin Holl
Hainsey Oz

Zaitsev's getting a lot of DZ starts all year, I don't see how that could be any worse than Hainsey.

Muzzin-Holl: physical line, wouldn't be the greatest puck-moving line, but Muzzin's decent in that regards and getting used to our break-out system.

Hainsey-Oz: sheltered minutes, PK duty; Hainsey would look better down there.

Starting Goalies has Rittich, but unconfirmed right now.
- Garnie

That sucks. The guy I'm playing this week in round 1 of the fantasy playoffs has Rittich.. I need the Leafs to win tonight.

Holl is as bad as Marincin, so no 2nd line duties for him please.

I think there's a 10 to 14 days before he can resume to skate if he's been diagnose with a concussion.
- zazzle

He's already skated with the team I believe. Just no update on how he is progressing.

When did Gardiner die?

7-2 Flames, maybe we should just skip watching this game
- Garnie

Nah, theres no pressure on the leafs, so i dont see a blow out.

I agree Hainsey isn't the best but i'd play him over Zaitsev all day.

I'd rather ( for this year ) see:

Rielly Hainsey
Muffin Zaitsev
Gardiner Dermott

Let Muffin/Gardiner get extra shifts in Zaitsev/Hainsey spot during the game.

When did Gardiner die?
- Scabeh

In the 2013 playoffs

That sucks. The guy I'm playing this week in round 1 of the fantasy playoffs has Rittich.. I need the Leafs to win tonight.

It's unconfirmed so it could be Smith

Probably because the bolded are sh!t. Having RHD should not be a priority. Arguably - 8 of the best 10 defensive pairings of all time were both LHD. Trade for one or sign one in the off season and bring up Lily bust next year.

Be kinda of sad actually, rather see that happen to a team like Montreal
- Garnie

I would like to see that just for Mr Grant Mccagg, it would be fun to see the mental gymnastics he would go through to explain how even though the Habs missed the playoffs they are better than the Leafs

He has been pretty quiet lately about the Leafs, strange.

This is all irrelevant right now. Obviously when Gardiner and Dermott are back, it'll look different, but I'm talking about now, while both are hurt.

Again, this is right now because these guys are hurt.

I don't really know who he is, just the little bit that you guys have posted about.

Twitter guy?

Yes, so move Hainsey down to help the new guys or because he sucks though?

He's too busy writing a book on the subject.

He will BLOW YOUR MIND soon enough.

Twitter idiot, yes.

both, and also because he sucks less than Zaitsev,Marincin,Ozhiganov and Holl

Twitter idiot, yes.

Sorry bad photoshop, but hard not to have some fun with this imbecile. Makes Tanner look like a genius.

I wouldn't go that far.

He's the Habs equivalent of James Tanner, I'll agree to that.

C'mon now, even Tanner wouldn't post that.

Fair enough, I'll agree

- TrashPanda

Right.

He's too busy writing that Raanta is a top 5 goalie in the league and that Jake Gardiner should be a norris candidate.

Or how about that time where players talent didn't matter when analyzing shooting percentage.

That one was great.
