Robby, Lily will be going , package deal or picks for the trade deadline… Cap is the asset
Max is a center period 🏒🏒🏒🥅🥅🥅💙💙💙❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Max works well with McMann & Nylander – first line with Knies looks good and Patches with Tavares is good – Lorentz is great on the fourth line. what more could you ask from your forwards – OEL has been leading ice time past 2 games and looks really good , Tanev & Rielly look good together OEL & McCabe are actually good together – for the longest time we had make shift D but with the new players the D look good for once. and man Stolarz is looking amazing, im happy with this team.
They played New Jersey and handled them.
Domi has chemistry with Papi and now he has chemistry with Willy. Maybe it's time to consider the fact that Domi is an excellent player?
team does look different and it looks good
Trev invented a momentum that’ll never slow them down, nanana,nananaaa😊
1: Knies, Mathews, Marner
2: McMann, domi, nylander
3: Robertson, Tavares, patches
4: Lorentz, Kampf, Holmberg
If Tavares goes up to 2C and then Holmberg at 3C with Robertson and patches on the sides
Which would slot McMann at 4th line winger
Whatever works
It’s great to see the Leafs win against teams they should beat… that hasn’t always happened the last 8 years.
Patches was sick. So much for you knowing what your talking about!
They do seem to be playing with alot more structure which I am here for, but again, it's been 4 games and they haven't played great teams yet, but they don't seem to play down to teams anymore.
