I give the goaltending an A for surpassing expectations
Goaltending – A
Marner – A+
Nylander – A
Tavares – A
Matthews – C
Rielly – F
Never been a better time to trade Marner or Nylander. They are too soft for playoff hockey. great skilful players but give up to many goals when they are on the ice. Dont get me wrong they can rack up points but hockey is also dependent on playing with heart and soul which neither players has. .That 20 million dollars betweeen them plus with Muzzin"s 5 million. You know what kinda players you can get for that kinda money and cheaper options also draft picks. We need tough guys who other players must dread playing when their teams meet up. To quote the words of a famous comedian " I get no respect.." Nylander and Marner get no respect from other teams. Simmonds type player is good, loyal and a player with a great attitude. Unfortunately Simmonds is past his prime and is too slow. If we can get players with the heart youthfullness and skill at the right price for 25 million dollars (Marner, Nylander and Muzzin combined salaries} we are almost there to win a Stanley cup.
You need some mean angry guys
Top 4 players take all the money. D needs to take the body. Grit? None
B+
My grade B+
The leafs top guys are only msybe 2 in the forward lineup.
The D's Damn…Gio. has been consistent D…The other guys should be a shame of themselves.
If can't get beat or even control the paste of the Game from Boston, Kraken..
Forget about winning Stanley. Watching the leafs is like watching shinny hockey…
I agree, letting go of your stick, is not hockey!…
What about taking the guy out, with a clean body check, shoulder to the chest, while your team mate goes for the puck?…
You don't have to kill the guy, just knock him on his ass and get back into the play!…
Just like rubbing out the guy on the boards, you can skim off of him, rubbing him out softly are paste him into the boards, if he is the type of player that will retaliate back, drawing a powerplay for your team and a chance to score!…
I can't believe that this simple method of puck control has been lost, to all the speed and finesse, European players are using and rubbing these players out, is being removed from the game!…
Where these players are from, they DON'T body check, just a lot of stick work penalties, BECAUSE, they don't body check or fight, without these skills in the game, you are always going to see the stick work!
But that's just an OLD CANADIAN, REDNECK DEFENCE-MAN, WISHING THE LEAF'S WOULD WIN THE CUP, BEFORE I GO UPSTAIRS!
Aube-Kubel? How old is this video?
This team has no character. None.
Playoff Leafs F+
