Can’t hurt to try. Probably not a bad idea to get him away from Kämpf, whom I love and appreciate deeply despite the fact that he’s where offense goes to die.
Please keep this for more than half a period.
Finally
My son ur time has come
Issue is 4th is Reaves-Kampf-Gregor cant run them on d with reaves out there.
Move jarn with kamf for shutdown line, robertson with domi and holmberg and fire reaves into the sun
Kniessss!
It’s about fucking time.
We called for it to start the season. Keefe gets it game 12.
Next is Klingberg off the 1st PP unit.
Good. Sit Reaves. Call up Robertson. Gregor-Kampf-Jarnkrok 3rd line. I know offence will struggle there but at least they can defend. Bertuzzi-Holmberg-Domi 4th line. Make them figure their shit out.
Did Keefe get permission to use his brain?
He’s earned it. Well done, this could be big. Hoping for the best here!
Thank you! He’s been the best looking LW by far and sticking him with Kampf/Domi has been wasting his talents. He had one shift with Matthews last night after a penalty kill and sure enough he set him up for a mini breakaway off of a slick pass, and it got us a powerplay. Hoping he finds success there.
Too bad we can’t run 13 forwards and keep Reaves parked on the bench until “needed”
Keefe up to his old tricks of constantly shuffling lines instead of letting guys develop chemistry. It was looking like Demi + Knies were really gelling in the early games.
And bertuzzi has been traded right? Right…
This team has no depth
A boot fookin time yah eh?
Incoming win streak, better late than never
About time
Finally!
Knies, Matthews and Marner were fantastic in the first round. Why he hasn’t started and stayed there is beyond logic
Reeves needs to be scratched for a few games as well. Steeves has played very well as well for the Marlies – perhaps call him up? Robertson needs consistent ice time for a lengthy duration before being called up since he hasnt played enough over the past few years.
Keefe keeping Marner on the 1st line makes no sense to me at this point. They should spread the cap around the lineup, there’s no good reason an 11 million player isn’t driving the bus on their own line.
Now we’re even more top heavy?
About time. I’m thinking he’ll be Hyman 2.0.
Although Bunting was older, he made the top line as a rookie.
Putting Kamph with Jarnkrok might make a usable defensive line.
Would like to see matthews/nylander/knies
Let’s get the kid a calder
I am confident that a survey of Leafs fans could craft better lines than Keefe. We’ve been saying this since day one of the season
Finally.
Keefe doesn’t seem to coach, just shift players around
Remember when I said this coming out of camp and took heat ?
Ya.
Let’s go kid. (Ps use your frame)
The leafs have two lines and zero defence.
