Great video Mark you make some good points. I been saying Knies needs no movie to the willy and jt line they both have looked great. First would you keep Minten what about getting Sam Benoit a chance your thoughts mark.
Whats with the separate videos today brother
I wan't 2 hear 50 mission cap on October 24th when leafs play the caps on my birthday…. Tragically Hip Leafs tune…. Whoever's in charge of the goal song, someone please let them know…..
We all know they need help on the back end.
great show Mark! I agree 100% I would throw the kitchen sink (2 star players) for a top defenseman…. Hope Brad can get on his phone again…, & start poking around and see who's willing to deal…..
Time for a coaching change. Keefe can't motivate these guys
The Leaf's defense are as soft as a Dairy Queen ice cream cone.
it's game THREE….stop whining. the Leafs are taking the Atlantic EASILY this year. Can't wait to watch them kick ass on this road trip.
Pesce has no grit, he's a younger Brodie. Idk who they should trade for but it has to be a RD and put Brodie on the 2nd pairing LD.
Matthew’s and Marner play 23 minutes a game
Leafs desperately need two big tough gritty defenceman zadorov and Parayko would work
Enter zadorov and parayko exit Brodie lilejgren
Klingberg or McCabe for pesce
What I'd like to see happen after a sh!t show like the Leafs put on against a team that they should beat easily is.
Cancel practice for the next day and take the team to BMO field and make them run laps for an hour straight. You stop you're benched for the next game.
This game isn't about your 20 million dollar contract, it's about respecting the team, the city and the game itself. Let Matthew's spend a game sitting in the announcers booth explaining why he's not playing.
I dont think brodie has whats needed to be top line defenseman anymore.
Another part of their woes is the usage of mccabe. He is touted as being defensively responsible, but hes done alot of pinch and rush checks that have left klingberg to defend 2 on 1. Or they both move up and perry gets the breakaway.
Klingberg will pull himself out of poisition due to his offense and mccabe pulls himself out of position due to his defense. You cant have two players like that on the same line they need to be split.
Maybe do mccabe brodie and reilly klingberg, or klingberg gio.
Great Video Mark, thank you
They should've known this wouldnt work on there Defence, it didnt make sence and it still wont unfortunately. Klingberg isnt defencely responsible his numbers have proved it. Rielly is much better defensively then Klingberg and he needs a guy to be a solid Defensive partner as I've stated before, he needs a Seabrook, Scheen was that for him during the playoff run last season.
McCabe is a D-Man who can score every now and then and can be responsible defensively, Klingberg and him not a good pairing.
I hope when Timmins is healthy they use him in the top 4.
Trieliving is going to have make phonecalls and see if anyone is available like in there needs of tougher D-Men, A Top end 2 guy and a Top 4 guy. Its going to cost them someone better and a prospect or pick/picks depending who they may find and how desparate the other team is to move the player. Carolina is my first phone call as they have a tons of guys that could help this Leaf team in there needs at the back end. They we're trying to move a couple of D-Men or at least that was the talk. Then kick tires with teams and see who might be available and work at the cost of a potential trade.
Thank you Mark
All the Best
LOL. typical leaf fan blaming Dmen for all goals. The first goal, while klingberg and mccabe are not really in the best position, is really the fault of the hapless Kampf, you can see it at the 2:27 mark he doesn't put the body on the puck carrier and finds himself all alone in the corner. this guy has to go. 4th line center? are you kidding me ? 2nd goal, d man pinches and marner covers at the point and for some reason tries to intercept the pass instead of just staying with the super slow perry. so this is the fault of Marner trying to stay offensive. Johson goal was PP, this could be a toss up. 1 lijegren and maccabe both taking puck carrier and 2 Knies not picking up streaking forward. this goal, maybe. McCabe does seem to be struggling but to say the Defense is bad is disingenuous. here is the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VA0JQxuuFHs certainly more of a problem than the Dmen.
