I really wanted him to be better than advertised, but he just isn't. To take a page out of Dorion's book.

Interviewer : " How do you feel about Cody Ceci as a hockey player"
Answer: "He exists"
- winsix

We need quicker transition to neutralize their forecheck. That will never come from Ceci. Roll the dice and play Sandin and get either a short safe first pass or a long outlet if it’s there. Let’s turn their rushing D into a counter strike.

I think there was a little bit of ring rust there, and that's going to be expected with some guys.

I trust Holl far more than Barrie or Ceci any day of the week.

Then why not play him with Rielly ??

Let’s see how the big 4 respond.

I’m confused. That’s not Paul Desmond playing?
- Canada Cup

Yes the video is of the original 64 recording of the song Take Five with Desmond. It was actually about 8 minutes long. The video I posted was a modern well made edit of that footage made to fit the music of the stranglers "Golden Brown"

Here's the stranglers song including vocals.

Yes because our 4 are even close to Bobrovsky LOL. come on...

Leafs in 3, right, Roger.

I absolutely hope it's all it was. Would like nothing more than for him to come out flying tonight and prove me wrong. Please.

So you think our 4 are close to Bobrovsky in terms of contracts? That means they are fighting for the worst in the entire NHL?

Matthews played okay game 1.
Just okay.
The other 3 were terrible.

I thought Matthews and Nylander played well. Marner and Snakevares, not so much.

I hope they put Marner and Matthews together tonight.

Bobrovsky was 58th in save % in his first year of 7 where he gets 10 million per. He will be 38 when the deal expires. He's older by 2 years than Tavares.

I look forward to the offseason hearing how Florida has great young talent and will be much better next year.

- dozerD10

Barrie and Muzzin was a complete disaster earlier in the year... And I don't see Ceci fairing any better. So if anything, it's out of necessity. Holl and Muzzin have easily been our most reliable pair. Don't want to bust that up.

Writing off a player after 50 games...hmmm.

Maybe D does have an effect on a goalies stats.

His #'s were dropping last year as well. He's 31 in his first year of a 7 year deal. Florida needs to cut $$, but will never be able to move him

you guys tearing each other apart yet

You know how you always rip on Max for falling in love with players and not seeing their faults?

That's exactly how you've been all season with Holl.
- GreatGigInTheSky

Sorry dude.

Facing Elite competition plus good play=a good player.

You are simply flat out wrong if you think he’s useless like you just said.

More efficient than usual. Good stuff.

I'm confident the Leafs will win this afternoon, because today is opposite day:

PLD, Jones and Werenski is a nightmare matchup.

Is that to get Marner going or because Marner gives Matthews a better chance to score.

I like the current lines because when they’re working - big caveat - Matthews and Nylander can both score while Mitch can dish to Soup or JT.

If Mitch and Tavares don’t get going, we’re sunk either way.
