Series Thread: First Round - Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens

[DragonfromTO]

He really should be. I’m seeing shades of Marleau here. He’s been terrible.

Who do you think draws out when Foligno can go again? Galch is my guess. It really should be Thornton. I'd think hard about putting Brooks in for Thornton tomorrow even if Foligno is out again anyway.

I was kinda upset that Brooks didn’t get a look earlier. Thought he earned it.

But yeah, Galchenyuk gotta be the guy coming out if Jumbo’s staying in. Was obviously already a scratch once and while he was alright in G2 there wasn’t much happening through him in G3. Also not really seeing what Nash brings but maybe I’m just blind to defence.

Oh yeah I wasn't offering a personal opinion, just guessing what the team will do. They are gonna play Nash.

It's the beard. Do you know how hard it is to skate with the resistance that thing creates?

How much crack do you have to smoke to work at TSN?

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

I understand the risk of starting Andersen - he loses, MTL gets back in the series, etc. - but if Campbell gets hurt tonight it’s going to be so much worse.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Oh boy don’t scratch Sandin please.

During the warm-up they are going to fight it out for the spot in Pregame Kumite

Sandin should be playing. There's literally nothing Dermott brings that Bogosian doesn't. If you wanted to get him in Bogo was the guy to come out.

If this game goes to OT, listen to Moore (if he’s there tonight )

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Marner literally doesn't know how to shoot the puck.

Again, WHY THE FUCK IS WILLY ON PP2

Montreal might want to consider just declining penalties from now on.

Weirdly enough the only thing Mitch is doing exceptionally well this series.

Nylander > McDavid holy shit.

/Sweet feed by Gally

It makes we wonder if Dubas was ever seriously considering trading Nylander

 

[dash]

Also, did Burke say that the Nylander contract was a big overpayment?

He thought Nylander was a $5 mil/yr max guy lol.

Shit dumbfuck said over the years multiple times:

"They'll never be able to get all 4 contracts done, they'll have to trade one of them"

"They'll never be able to fill out the roster with all 4 of those contracts on hand, they'll have to trade one of them"

"Kyle is upsetting a lot of other GM's with how he negotiates with his players and hiking the market on contracts, they aren't gonna want to trade with him"

"The Leafs lost some great draft acumen when they chose Dubas and let Mark Hunter walk away"

"Mike is a tough but fair coach and anything he does he does so while making sure the player fully understands why he's making that decision"

"That's an overpayment for Jake Muzzin. Prospects AND a first round pick is crazy for a 2nd pair guy"
