LOAD MANAGEMENT.  Get Tanev in, don't overwork him- we can make the playoffs with him not playing a full season- and have him 100% for the playoffs where we need him at his best.

I thought of your option as well.  I think on the road, where you won't control the matchups, his defense is stronger and that would really help the Matthews line if they have to face the Bergeron unit.  Also, Brown is much smarter out there.  Kapanen is all speed but makes poor decisions. ...

Yes.  Marleau should have a bigger number after that minus.  Not surprising to me that the Nylander line was the worst one possession wise last night.  And I thought Willy played a really good game!  Would really like to see: Moore-Nylander-Brown Marleau-Goat-Ennis (I don't think Marleau-Brown...

I wouldn't expect any different. 

I'd say its unfortunate, but I'm fine with it because I can watch the Leafs on the TV via Antenaa, and Raptors on laptop/iPad streaming.  My wife is going to hate me for those three nights.  She's getting no help with the little one.

And I bet most of those games where he was +10 mins were blowouts or 2nd night of back to back.

Marleau gets it first.  I don't care if he's healthy scratched at some point in the playoffs, he still gets it first.  No Captain and he's one of the assistants.  Rielly MIGHT get it first because he's the longest tenured Assistant Captain, but he'd hand it over the Marleau before raising it.

https://twitter.com/kristen_shilton/status/1115650612199415808 This is 100% an avoid Chara vs Nylander thing.  He really struggled up against Chara last year. So, if Cassidy is going to play Chara vs Matthews line- you'll see Kapanen on Matthews wing.  If Chara is out against the Tavares line...

He was trying to say scoring was worth MORE in 92-93 than it is now.  Which he admitted afterwards is false.  However, he is correct it was worth more during the two years Sundin hit 40.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic or not??? Clark's 46 Goals and Andrechuk's 53 goals in 93-94 came in a year where the average team scored 3.24 goals per game. Sundin did it in years where the goals per game were 2.92 (96-97, 41G) and 2.62 (01-02, 41G).  This year the average goals...

Last I checked they won on Friday.  It wasn't pretty, but they did win one game during that dreadful week.

I agree that if we manage to keep all three of MNK then his value is more as a trade chip, even if his value is not significant enough to bring back what we need (Top 4 D).  But, from an asset allocation perspective, Kapanen has a higher trade value and will cost more against the cap next...

Do you think his value is really that high?  I don't think organizations see guys who haven't proven it in the NHL as having much value, unless you are a 18/19/20 yr old with "star in the making" attached to you (ie Brannstrom).  Bracco is 22.  He has "tweener" written all over him (ie, he'll be...

Rasanen to the Marlies officially. https://twitter.com/TorontoMarlies/status/1106616051515695106

https://twitter.com/TorontoMarlies/status/1106589707217989632?s=20 Duszak officially signs his PTO.  I do wonder one thing:  Is there a maximum amount of money you can earn on a PTO? Did the Leafs use some financial muscle to get him? His NHL deal starts NEXT year, at the maximum ELC of...

Maybe if it included inflation as well, then we'd be talking.

Part of me wonders if Babcock doesn't hate or not want to use Holl, but rather, just likes Oz more than he should and felt he wouldn't know for sure what he had in Oz unless he played him every day.  In particular, Holl is well known by the organization and its possible they felt they wouldn't...

Are you and Jeffler the same person? https://twitter.com/JeffVeillette/status/1103373013272145923?s=20

Well, I wish I had been on one of your teams instead of that one.

https://twitter.com/bruce_arthur/status/1103366742833680384?s=20 Holl in for Oz on top of the 5'9Line???  What alternative universe are we living in?
