Nylander’s worst period in a while. A lot of sloppy passing all around. Like everyone’s drunk.

It seems unlikely that Marner-Matthews-Nylander is going to get the most out of all three guys simply because 2/3rds of the game, none of them will be on the ice. So, 2/3rds of the game, you need to transition through the neutral zone without your 3 best transition players. And in the 1/3rd of...

Last one is easy - no.

Biggest thing I learned tonight is you can swear on this site now. Good work! A healthy helping of improper words in the office is supposed to increase camaraderie. I think it can work here too.

i feel like the leafs really wanted Matt Roy instead of OEL in the offseason (and somehow making the money work by ditching Kampf, OEL and maybe even Domi). The Reilly-OEL pairing just hasn’t been working so well. OEL needs to be on the left.

I’m hoping that 3rd line has some pop. Would solve some problems if it does.

Least deserving Leafs win I can remember. (I have a weak memory, but still.)

fun 3rd

That’s a fun one. Big 4 over 3 lines but not how you’d think.

We have a rule that says flipping the puck out of the rink in the d-zone is an automatic penalty, even if by accident. And of course, flipping the puck out of the rink is no where near as consequential as hitting someone in the head. We could make a similar kind of rule for hitting guys in the...

It is reasonble to conjecture that in the long run more forechecking and hitting leads to more injuries but so far this season it is not clear to me that the injury problems are overly related: Probably Not Related: Knies -> he got hit in the head and would have regardless of the style of play...

But it was fun to watch the underdog win. Sad about Knies. Insane there was no penalty. Commentators are idiots.

I still think Domi is a good winger beside Matthews and you can shift Marner or Nylander down to the 3rd line, stuff Matthews line in the ozone and have a lot of good offense and defense. And I’m skeptical Minten will last in the NHL.

I didn’t mean Kampf/Jarkrok and that’s it for Granlund. The point of mentioning those two is just to illustrate that the cap math could probably work out. San Jose is a bottom of the league team. I can imagine they’d want to trade Granlumd for younger players and draft picks. I don’t exactly...

Mikael Granlund, San Jose, seems like one of the best potential (plausible) pickups for the leafs. 19 pts in 19 games. Trade Kampf and Jarnkrok and we are close to balancing the cap hits. Maybe a little needs to be retained. There’s no reason this lineup should be lacking scoring punch...

what are the lines

What do the units on the graph refer to. If I have a 1.0 for individual offense, for example? (The team would be expected to score 1 fewer goal if I didn’t play? That doesn’t seem to add up.) Also, how can Reaves have the best “team offense above average” (more or less everyone else being...

Exactly, or Kadri.

I am so skeptical of Minten as a 2C. He doesn't have enough offensive talent. He's so much more likely to be a decent 4C.
