This is Simmonds last shot. Simmonds also has one of the biggest heart in the league. I can see him making a good 4th line addition even if just a couple games.
The kid has skills and would have been much more impressive on many other teams but the leafs are a very good group of forwards and he looked below average in last nights lineup. Hes a pick that beat the odds and will be bonafide NHLer one day, but on this leafs team hes an emergency pencil-in
Give the guy a minute, his team literally lost in the finals the previous night, went right onto the plane and ran around Florida for his prep and played the same night.
Hahaha. In a perfect world we wouldn’t be trying to put a rookie, never played in to the NHL, into the playoffs. It’s insane.
sheldon hates dubas btw
Send him down to the farm, the kid isn’t ready; not on this team, with all the baggage.
Nick, you looked indecisive your entire career .
This “it’s not right” stuff is garbage. We’re trying to win cups not a feelings contest. If the kid contributes or can contribute, let him play.
He is a bigger version of NIck Robertson
He will play but it will be because of injury or struggle
i'm more impressed with the play of akito hirose than matthew knies.
The kid played without even practicing with the team. How about we wait until he has a few practices before addressing him? I do agree that it's unfair if Knies plays in the playoffs before skaters who already know the system and are playing well, but other than that, Leafs media is the worst.
I think Bunting should just swing on a ref and take the suspension
He should be on Marlies
Man I have a hard time thinking a guy that came from College can help them at the NHL level . Against Tampa and maybe Boston this year I am with Kipper time in the AHL would
After watching mistakes cost us in the past like Dermott, Galchenyuk.. you just can't play him now
And, as usual, Kyper is totally wrong again. After 2 games, and against TB, he’s just fine!!
Lol Kyper thinks he’s a choppy skater. Hey Kyper, you couldn’t skate at all so who the hell are you to criticize anyone’s skating??
i wanna hear an opinion after game 2, changed a little bit im sure.
Knies at times kinda looked pedestrian in his first game but he was noticeable… Big boy had a better game today.
I don’t give a fiddlers what Kipper has to say about Knies, he’s just pissed this young lad has stepped right into the NHL
Look forward to these guys words biting them in the ass. The team didn’t move heaven and earth to not play Knies
