If Keefe changes the lines again HE NEEDS TO LEAVE HOCKEY.. Leave them now! This is the best line combos in years
Book your tee time
I'm about 50/50 that Keefe will leave the lines the same game 1 of the playoffs, but I'm also about 85/15% that he changes the the moment a couple things don't work exactly how he wants it to
Domi 2.5 by 8yrs MNT
I'm calling it now. Hes going to juggle the lines immediately upon one bad game or period and that's it. They're out of round 1. I'm calling it. Line juggling will be the main cause they lose in round 1.
Lads, how about Jarnkrok with Nylander. Big shot and some speed.
I don't know why you wouldn't try Marner at C before Nylander.
Leafs need jarnkrok badly
how the hell do you think that Nylander can drive a line better than Marnier? JD has to shut up somtimes
They can go from the core 4 to the key 3.
I would love to give Max 2.5 for 4
lol, you should stop saying most people agree with you about robertson. because VERY few in any forum/conversation ive had does. dude has played less than a full season in the league, and has some massive setbacks health wise. hard to listen to this take from the media over and over again.
Don’t think Domi is making millions and millions. That ship for now has sailed.
Why would Domi how to a struggling team and disappear?
Did James Mirtle say "We don't have a lot of wingers that play center"? Jarnkrok, Dewar, Domi, and to a lesser extent, Nylander? Its like this guy doesn't cover this team. It doesn't get talked about James because its not an issue. Please name another team that has an excessive amount of centers. You guys are running out of topics.
Really love this James guy, insightful and concise w good perspective. Keep up the great work go leafs go!
Imagine just sitting on ur ass hating on a 22 year old trying his ass off to play for big team
Marner at center is a great idea
James is right. Robertson is too good to give up on.!!! Very talented and young. Leafs are crazy if they trade him. I see him long term here once they get rid of Bertuzzi. I would not play Dewar over him, this I know.
Let's hope this makes Marner expendable and doesn't get an offer next season. That $$ could be used much better.
Leaf fan in Victoria, BC!!!
So make it easier for the golden goose? Typical leafs "fan" bubkis. Bubkis stop interrupting your guest, it's rude.
JD Isbunk.
Line one is great for all of the reasons mentioned
Please try marner ans nylander together line 2…any centre will do
Please add tavares with jarnkrok third line for shut down
4th line is whatever is left
Bupkus again talking nonsense with his friends
