Presumably this would mean Lalonde's taking a bit of a step back from PK duties. Hopefully Van Ryn can keep up the performance there. It's been by far our biggest bright spot over the past 1.5 months (1st in the NHL since Nov. 12th).

Christmas miracle?

Oh I've certainly mailed some in, but thanks.

Good point, I didn't even think of that. Team might not even get to practice a new PP system yet.

I don't hate the idea of Domi being back in the lineup, and even on the top line. But the message to him should be the next time he's out it's not just to the press box, it's to waivers.

I'm guessing a dominant win and then the longest losing streak in NHL history.

In Myers' last 5 games the Leafs at 5-on-5 have been out shot-attempted 25-97, out shot 10-36, but are somehow up 2-0 in goals.

McMann HM Maccelli

I don't know how at the very least Savard doesn't get let go, or at least reassigned, at some point soon. Until last game the team had a positive 5-on-5 goals differential. Their PK is 5th in the league, and actually 1st since Nov. 12th. A functioning powerplay would almost certainly have them...

I agree it'd be great to see a Roy-Nylander line crushing their minutes, I just don't think it's the best option for the team as it's assembled. First it diminishes the talent of the top-6 too much. We're already short a top-6 forward with two of Domi, Cowan, Robertson, or Maccelli taking...

I said it in the last GDT and I'll stick with it: don't touch the Joshua-Roy-McMann line. It's the only thing all season that's worked consistently and provides the closest thing we've had to an identity line in god knows how long.

Somewhat related to this, I couldn't really believe Berube's comments on how the game went (courtsey of MLHS): The first period sucked, the second period sucked, the first half of the 3rd period sucked, the top line sucked aside from 2 shifts. Don't get why you'd sugar-coat any of that.

Well, that was unexpected. Some scattered thoughts: Robertson had a great game. Stop splitting up the Joshua-Roy-McMann line. Time for Domi to sit again.
