Very Knies
Lets not get too far ahead on his unproven NHL abilities let alone the continuous line juggling Keefe has already shown with post draft deadline trades. I still wish him and the Leafs the best of luck though given I was 12 the last time they won the Stanley cup.
Pretty excited to see what he brings, last 3 games of the regular season make for a fun audition for this cup contending team! could you imagine taking someone's spot in Game 1 lineup after playing only 3 NHL games? Tough pill to swallow for the odd guy out – but it'd be pretty sweet!
He basically did nothing in the frozen 4. He’s not ready. There’s no one on the leafs im taking out of the line up for Knies. He’s gonna be good but it’s gonna take time.
Seems that having his over ripe development complete with the Marlies will produce a 12 year NHL power forward.
where do you play him in the final 3 games? Do you think they should audition him for top 6 (less defensive responsibilities) or bottom 6?
It may be one of those toronto rose tinted glasses situations
Ny and Knies, the hockey guys!
How about this line just for fun KERFOOT, ORIELY , KNIES
bunting out knies in
i will not be answering questions or replying to comments at this time
so overrated dude is literally a 4th liner at best
I look forward to seeing Knies pull a McDermott in the playoffs
We all know Knies is gonna carry us to a Cup right? He gonna surpass Matthews in goals 💯 XD
Matthew Knies⚔
I think he will be a injury replacement player for now unless he just comes into his own in the few games left before the playoffs. Hopefully he plays tonight.
All this for Levi to own Knies for years to come
Still hurting from that Natty overtime loss, but I’ll miss Knies and know he’s in a good place with the Leafs.
Steve. Idea for Leafs after season/playoffs show. Please include Sid Seixeiro along with CJ. I would love to hear him possibly go on a rant. Also, to get his side on how the Leafs turned out this season. I think it would be a wildly entertaining post season show for the network.
What’re the realistic chances that he’s better than a current NHL guy on the team?
Bunting-Matthews-Marner
Tavares-O'Reilly-Nylander
Knies-Accari-Jarnkrok
Kerfoot-Kampf-Lafferty
I believe, playing Knies with ROR at center would be great fot the kid. But who plays 3-rw? Lafferty?
He's not in the lineup tonight
Our new Dave Andrychuk??
Matthews, Marner, Knies? Just for the feelz?
Hey Steve! Is your arm ok? Forearm looks a bit wonky.
Finally, he said the thing we've all been waiting for
Matthew Knies is coming to town…Matthew Knies is coming to town… Matthew Knies is com-ing to toooooown!
Austin+knies=1st round pick 2023
A 3rd line of ZAR, O'REILLY and KNIES is something I'd like to see for sure
Yes
Bill knies the hockey guy
And still the lighting will put the leafs out in the first round 😂 🤣
CALM DOWN! Do you not have any experience to know that a player like this will likely need a year or more of tuning in the AHL…and may not even translate to an everyday NHL'er? As usual, the Leafs are crowning him the saving grace of the team. Just stop it.
