Start heading towards the golf course
Can we stop with the leafs garbage?
Dude off the camera saying Kipper was wrong with only 5 games for Murray before the playoffs. This guy plays too much NHL '95 for the Genesis still. Get a clue, armchair GM.
Doesn’t matter about the season. They’re making the playoffs so their focus should be how to pass the first round and take down tampa.
Murray vs Tampa to see if he can hold his own
Play Gustafason Timmins Schenn more
Rest Brodie Giordano
Bench Riely Holl
Foward lines need to be broken up from the Keefe regulars
Reese Kampf Jarnkrok
Steevie Mathews Nylander
Holmberg Travares Accairi
Bunting Kerfoot Marner
See what and how the elite adapt to different line mates
Defense
Timmins Gustafason
McCabe Schenn
Giordano Lilijgren
Brodie
Holl Riely out
McCabe Gustafason on the power play
and when Murray shuts out Tampa in that game, who do you start the playoff with? LOL
Cooper had Vasy playing the last three games up until playoffs. He was giving him reps to build his way into the series. They did lose 5-0 the first game so I donno
If the April 11 Tampa game has has no home ice implications then I think put in Woll, and let the Core 4 and O'Reilly watch from the press box. Why take a chance of those rats trying to injure one of our Tip-Top players?
Woll should get in 5-7 of the remaining games, we need Murray and Samsonov rested.
So I have to make a comment on the women's national soccer team and the wNt for equal pay to men. So first a boys under 16 team can whoop your team. 2nd the money coming in can't be less than what's paid out that's bad business model doomed to fail. 3rd I do agree for Training and travel that cost should be covered for sure. Now if your not playing league soccer then the Canadian national federation should not be paying players unless their playing actual competition. Now should there be bonus money for winning absolutely 💯 but it needs to be a set amount the team splits. But should the women make as much as the men sure if the product is generating the income to support it. Otherwise the money needs to match the income to sustain the federation. It's not about individuals its about the flag on the front. What I see is some that think their bigger than the sport. I heard a player once say we're not playing for you. Now I can't remember what network that was on but it was said and she knows who she is. When you put that jersey on you play for the country not yourself and you would do well to remember that. Getting paid to do that is a bonus not a job. Pick a better ladies to front the squad women.
Matt Murray will be starting this Saturday but if he falters what then? The answer might be to give Joseph Woll a few more NHL starts. With Ryan O'Reilly on LTIR there is enough cap space.
The Leafs haven't used any of their 4 post trade deadline, non emergency call ups yet so they have the ability to do it. That's the one positive of having only 12 forwards on the active roster: All call ups for injuries at the forward positions are emergency loans and do not count against the non emergency call ups.
Woll having only 3 NHL starts this season is a mistake but there is still time to fix it. Put Murray on a short leash and pull the trigger on replacing him with Woll if he sieves out.
Win games
Hearing you guys talk tenders makes me want to slice my ears off.
To try and get back to competing in games and have a chance to win games.
First things first, fire Kyle when they lose in 6 games to NYI. Auston is a UFA next year, and Kyle walked him into free agency at the first chance he's able to. Why he didn't take a year off that deal is beyond me. Tkachuk is a prime example of this. He wanted out, but they still had RFA rights so they could still trade him for a decent return. Matthews holds all the cards and Kyle let his agent take advantage of him. So a 60 goal player from Arizona is going to be a 26 year old free agent, and he can play anywhere in the States, and the Leafs think he's going to stay out of loyalty. Why wouldn't he want to get paid the same, but play in Arizona with all his friends, family and sunshine everyday. Let me think half a year of winter or sunshine year-round. Pool parties in December or -20 Toronto.
kyper, you're a former goon. In other words, irrelevant. Your opinion doesn't matter.
Bottom line, leafs have horrible goaltending and horrible management.
No goalie = no cup
Kyle Dufas as gm = never a cup.
Brendumb Shanahan in charge = don't even think about a cup.
Yours truly
a former stanley cup winner both as a goaltender and as a coach.
Don't listen to this podcast and they are alright 😎
Sansonov is having the best year of his career……I say give him the rope ✅
Vassy looks like garbage this year….Leafs in 6
