Penguins @ Maple Leafs - Nov. 11th, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

Honestly other than Samsonov who I'm not sold on team has grossly underperformed. As a cup contender or favourite at this moment we don't even look like a playoff team. Everything is a concern for me and especially scoring which none of us would have thought we would be struggling with.

I really think the Leafs need to move on from Marner. He has some nifty passes but he also just makes too many brain-dead plays. He also always loses puck battles. He is sooo afraid of contact. Move him for a Top 6 forward and a top 4 dman.

No.

Alternative: Put him with Tavares again; they were dynamite back in the day.  He and Matthews have been stale all year.  Flip-flop him with Willy and run with it for more than a game or two.

I value the creativity, but it needs to be deployed at the right time and place.

Simple but I have no idea why Keefe doesn't and if it's the 2 stars egos or feelings that we can't hurt then we need to move on from both of them.

Did Willy help turn that frown upside down?

Could?ve had this the past three seasons but someone else really need to float muffins from the wall.

Temporarily but we are 5-6 weeks into the season and this team has some issues. I'm actually impressed with our GA especially with our goalie injuries but the team looks nothing like the team that was exciting to watch in previous seasons.

Sprung by Marner.  Let's quell the Get Rid of Mitch chatter.

True, but the reason it was back in the zone was an unwise pass down the middle by Marner.

Medium-high risk, super-high reward.

Not too difficult to fire a stretch pass down the ice when the other team is on a penalty kill and changing and this is what he is overpaid to do.It's the screwups he has to get rid of.
