Leafs @ Sabres - Nov. 13th, 7:00pm - CBC, Fan 590

Is Nylander hurt/benched?

If it?s benched f?ing why?  He?s been the Leafs best forward all year and a bad game results in a punishment that other forwards have avoided.  I don?t get it from Keefe

I haven't watched the whole game what I have seen he's not the only one. LK is right others are not held accountable but hey don't want to ruffle some of these superstars feathers.

Ritchie is looking more and more like a bad signing at this point.  I get he has had a few shifts but he doesn?t look like he fits anywhere on this roster.  He?s too slow and not physical enough to be a bottom 6 guy and looks way too slow to be with Matthews/Marner/Nylander and probably puts too much slow on a line with Tavares

Yeah. If he was on a one year, league minimum-ish deal, it would be easier to overlook. If he could bring the physical play, at least he?s be useful, but right now, he?s just taking up a lineup and roster spot.
 
His first period was good but he wasn?t good the rest of the way.  Lots of scrambling and was out of position a lot. 

Still counts as two points and I really don?t think either team deserved a win so I?ll walk away from this hoping it?s just a bad result out of the 3rd game in 4 nights after two really good efforts.  A win is a win.

If Keefe benched Nylander I don?t get it.  He wasn?t great tonight but it seems like a standard a lot of other players deserved and have evaded so far this year
 
3rd game in 4 nights and they won them all?  The last on the road in a rink where they always have trouble?  I'm not going to quibble too much.
