Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Starting something after every leafs game... report cards as seen on the athletic but by me : )

1. i can't stress it enough. he has a great game, we all agree he does, and then he goes out and plays better. sandin was the leafs' best defenseman tonight. he was so solid positionally, offensively, physically (the man dropped the gloves and was about to fight)... what more can we ask?
2. loved the all around game. all pairs & lines contributed, campbell was fantastic when he needed to be, we defended ourselves and dominated the game. looking like a playoff team.
3. foligno seems to have inspired some physicality and some flare in this team, which i like. even matthews was getting in there sticking up for tavares at one point.
4. insanely genius move by thornton + simmonds to take themselves out and bring two key jets player off with them at the end there. also quite enjoyed how thornton rambled for a few minutes at ehlers and nik just didn't pay any attention

Left Wing - 5 Stars
Center - 4 Stars (campbell was here for this game!)
Right Wing - 3 Stars
Left Defense - 2 stars
Right Defense - 1 star
Goalie - N/A for grading system; campbell was in the 4 stars slot
Scratches - Didn't Notice
Injured Reserve - Can they get looks next game?
for this section. tonight i would say no one gets looks from here next game; loved the lines tonight and would say we roll with them for next game. maybe put simmer with the vets and brooks with mik/kerf though.

side note: the grades are scaled - if brooks did amazing with his little ice time and marner (even though he faced harder competition) did worse, they will be graded as such. skill level and expectations taken into account of course.
yes the players under each category were ranked. again, campbell had 4 stars and would be the 3rd slot.
