Leafs @ Jets - Jan. 2nd, 8:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

[ZBBM]

I haven't decided who to vote for tonight...I'll have to wait for ZBBM to tell me what I've done

I'll PM you once I decide.  It's common courtesy.

 

[Hobbes]

Marincin with a beautiful stick check as usual to snuff out an attack

He's a decent player without the puck...it's such a shame that he's a train wreck when he does.

Pretty gorgeous goat sauce there

Goat sauce. Very tasty but not often on the menu.

They have no business leading in this one.

I?m not sure I agree. Jets have a lot of shots, but, to me, feels like the Leafs have had more high danger chances.

 

[Guilt Trip]

A nice thing about having this lead is Marchmant and Brooks will get a bit more time on the ice.

Yes. I hope so. Marchment looks good and so does Brooks. Matthews has played well also. His linemates, not so much.

 

[ZBBM]

I'm not going to claim Marincin is brilliant or anything but he's been solid again tonight.

Yep. I mean look at Laine he has 12 shots, how many were actually great chances to score?

When Muzzin and Sandin are here Marty is toast

When you have a #7/8 defenceman who can sub in on your shutdown pairing and PK while not looking completely out of place then you're in decent shape.

People love to rip on him. I'd have to guess I'd take him over most 7/8 guys in other organizations.

Every one of them. The guy can shoot the lights out....j/k

 

[lc9]

Weird game.  Right score.

A lot...he's had some grade A opportunities tonight. The Scheifele line has been the best on the ice tonight but a bit of luck and a bit of Freddie magic has kept the damage down.

He's a good fill in guy. I suspect if Sandin wasn't overseas he might be up.

 

[barney_rebel]

Too much icing on the cake.

 

[ZBBM]

Yeah, I think Freddie is MotM.  Screw you Laine.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

He's a good fill in guy. I suspect if Sandin wasn't overseas he might be up.

If Rielly or Dermott went down I'd agree, but not sure with the Muzzin injury. Like I said, Marincin's getting shutdown and PK minutes. Don't think Sandin would be getting those.

 

[Guilt Trip]

You know it's an off night when Mr Empty net misses lol.

 

[azzurri63]

Hyman lol.

 

[Hobbes]

Love that Keefe has put his 4th line out there right now.

You're probably right but I think they'd move up Dermott up and have Sandin on the 3rd pairing.
