    Personally I think the Holl hate is overblown, but I look forward to figuring out who the next D scapegoat is if we lose

    50% of /r/leafs just blew their load.

    (the other half is waiting for us to trade Rielly to the Coyotes for a 7th round pick)

    But I was assured by Leafs fans that Holl would never be scratched. It couldn’t be that they don’t actually know anything?

    OH MA LAWD IN HEAVEN, A MIRACLE HAS OCCURRED

  7. PossessionFit5172

    THANK GOD!! I hope to god we play so well defensively and offensively that we don’t need him anymore.. I’m so tired of that 2×6

    I hope Kerfoot has a good game, because without Holl and Engvall he’s going to be public enemy #1 from the fans who just watch games to attack the usual scapegoats

    Finally. it’s pretty wild it took him this long to at least try this change. He’s been very willing to adjust every other facet of the team, except for it’s clear worst D man

    This is step 1 of a 4-step plan.

    1) scratch Holl to get the flies off.
    2) Put in Schenn/Liljegren/Timmins/Gustafsson
    3) Make a comment in the post-game interview that the player from step 2 had a bad giveaway or wasn’t in position or something
    4) Put Holl back in tomorrow.

    Damn I was really excited to watch him play in person

    Would still like to see 7D dressed but I want Timmins over Gus. The 6 tonight and Timmins is the ideal setup for a 7D night.

    He doesn’t deserve all the hate. If Keefe put him on the 3rd pair then I’m sure we’d all love him the way we did when we called him up from the Marlies. Instead he gets played 22 a night on 1st PK and struggles which leads to the fanbase turning on him.

    BY THE MIGHT OF PAT QUINN HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!?!?

  26. MyNameWouldntFi

    I don’t *hate* Justin Holl, I hate the way Keefe deploys him. He’s not a top pairing guy, and he’s not a top shutdown guy, yet there he is constantly getting 20 mins+ against the top comp every night

  28. footwith4toes

    I don’t think Holl is nearly as bad as a lot of Reddit and twitter but it’s still nice to see Keefe is willing to scratch him.

    He is Jake Gardiner 2.0, without the offensive finesse. He makes his life and the teams life hard on his retrievals, only thing that has saved him is the opponents havent cashed in on those opportunities. If that was the case this decision would be taken alot easier by Holl lovers. He is a good defenseman, but i think we have better options.

  32. orojinn

    Oh no who will The “No Hollers” blame when a goal goes in now… Kerfoot?, Reilly?. The Bench Seat?

    I say this because I’ve witnessed here people blaming Holl for goals let in while he was sitting on the fucking bench!

    There’s a certain type of people in this sub for the Toronto Maple Leafs that have this fascination of hating certain players no matter what
