Obviously, you still let it slide for Holl 75% through the season cause he's only a 2 million dollar dman at 600k more then Liljegren. 🤣

Safe bet that by the time Liljegren reaches Holl’s age he’ll be making far more.

Holl has finally got what I’ve been saying, a proper top end partner, and their stats are the best on the team since they’ve been put together.

you're showing your greatness, Dozzer

But will you still be absolving him of his sins as you do with Holl. 🤔

It's not surprising, Brodies role has basically become being the partner fixer. Holls defensive game needs salvaging the most on the team currently, so he gets Brodie.

Sandin keeps it up and he's gonna be next to get a dose after Brodies done his reclamation project with Holl.

well done, what a great thing to do

Damn. Great passing and chance with Marner and Kerfoot

Sandin is nowhere near as good as Holl defensively.

Him and Brodie are playing perfectly as partners… the 2 million dollar guy who’s defensively reasonable, far more than Sandin, gets partnered up with the 5 million dollar guy who is the appropriate anchor to the pair.

Sandin simply isn’t good enough defensively. He got bumped to his weak side to get knocked off the second pairing. It’s because he simply doesn’t get the job done.

Man oh man, the guy is practically a second round pick but so many act like he’s going to be some sort of stud guaranteed, it’s not.

Kallgrens!!! Couple huge saves.

The back and forth of this game is nuts

Yes preserving Holl's defensive stats as he gets walked around by a 4th liner

I... Actually agree. Although I wouldn't say Holl is "way better" defensively, I think he is better defensively but he's so mistake prone it takes away from what he does do.

Sandin has always been overated in my opinion, I keep waiting for improvement that would indicate he's actually capable of this potential people think he has, but at the end of the day he's never been as well rounded and never will be. I personally think we're watching him play at his ceiling, I'll happily be proven wrong.

I just wish the coach would tell Holl next time he jumps out of position he sits. His game would be much better if he just dialed it down and played the defensive side. Coaches continue to let him hang himself out to dry for some reason.

Kallgren playing well. Can’t blame him on the first 2 goals either.

I just wish the coach would tell Holl next time he humps out of position he sits. His game would be crazy amounts improved if he gets dialed his game down and played the defensive side. Coaches continue to let himself hang out to dry for some reason.

This I agree with, I think Sandin has enough raw talent to be a better player but his defensive game doesn’t seem to be stepping up. That’s why I still kind of hope when it comes to him, his intelligence grows to match his talent. Was hoping he’d be a bit quicker skating wise but it also doesn’t have to be that big of deal if he’s making the right choices.

Källgren is a wall tonight. Maybe there's no goalie crisis after all!

What a goal by Marner

Marner!!!!!!

Suckered Thompson. Bit of a screen and thinking was passing not shooting.

Nice goal

And nice stretch and keep in by Sandin there too funny enough

Marner!!

That one looked good from here Cush!

lil Timmy

Liljegren again!!!

There's the Marner we're used to!

Timmmmmaaaaaaayyyy!!!!!

Shawlgrin is playing well

Liljegren just picking corners tonight. Other then the miscue that lead to Vegas 2nd goal he’s been great.
