How is that group of forwards 2-0-2. Never heard of the centers ?

 

[L K]

Maybe Matthews, Marner, Rielly Tavares isn?t a good combination on the PP seeing as it finds a way to suck every single year

This has trap game written all over it

Why do I only see 2

 

[Bullfrog]

Rodrigues was traded to the Leafs in the Kapanen deal. Didn't play though.

 

[cujo4ever]

[nutman]

The first five minutes will tell us a lot about this one.

8-1 Leafs.

I honestly don't have a clue why you pay any of these extra coaches. What do they honestly do? It's amazing how with so much talent the PP is so anemic. That's only one concern. These so called highly paid stars doing jack s**t. Namely Tavares and Marner. Nylander has been good and Matthews although he was atrocious last night has only played 2 games and looked good in game 1.

 

[ZBBM]

Professional refereeing in evidence already.

Lol and we'll get called for a love tap slash or hook.

 

[Bender]

Why do the Leafs keep trying to recreate the Galchenyuk errant east west pass? This is getting irritating.

 

[ZBBM]

Nice play by Willy.
