I feel its mainly due to playing with Matthews, Tavares, and Nylander as those 3 are the main shooters/scorers on the PP. Marner is more of a passer but on a weaker unit would probs adopt a more shooting mentality

Like if Marner was on unit 2 bet he would have scored much earlier lul

But then people would be going whys he on unit 2.


But I mean, how many power plays a year, like that's 200 power plays probably where he hasn't had one good look at net and just taken the shot. Hes normally on an wing as well right?

Remember though many of the PP were when the team somehow couldnt figure it out

Like remember when they couldnt score a PP goal towards the end of the season last year ugh

Malhotra era PP was the worst PP I believe since the 2009 leafs I believe.

The NHL should be watching out for Jack Quinn, only comparable players I can find really are Mikko Rantenan, Nikita Kucherov, Jake Guentzel, Pavel Buchnevich, Dylan and Ryan Strome and Frank Vatrano...dating back to 2013. Kids scoring at ease in the AHL, just when he wants pretty much, scored 4 goals a couple nights ago.

He needs a break. He has not looked good. Why sign Mrazek if your not going to play him.


Honestly start Mrazek on Saturday. Gives Campbell 1 week of rest



Also, bring up Kral for a game as honestly hes looked pretty good and heck got named AHL player of the week.

Yes to Mrazek, but keep Kral in the minors. No need to rush. Although I’m over Dermott. Every time there is an opportunity in the lineup for him to step up he fails miserably. He is a sheltered 3rd pairing Dman.
Dubas needs to package him up for an RD

I honestly think depending on how much we want to spend there are 2 sides to the scale

1. Big splash -> trade for Giordano

2. Depth splash -> trade for Braun

Another guy who you could explore depending on how the jets wish to proceed is Demelo. As if they want to keep Copp moving him is almost a given.


As rn here are the options

1. Giordano
2. Klingberg
3. Miller
4. Greene
5. Mayfield
6. Braun

Manson would have been on the list but Anaheim be in a spot rn. Its funny how the perfect targets teams decide to compete when we want to trade

Last year was Nashville and Granlund
This year Ducks and Manson lul

that and blowing 4-1 leads, losing game 7s, and not making it past round one. We have a variety of special skills, extremely unhelpful skills, but theyre skills!!!


Apparently blowing 3-1 leads also belong in Leafs' area of expertise.

Looks pretty much the same to me




The Tierney one is a goal due to the skate moving as part of the stick motion while Matthews is an obvious kick while mostly standing still, this a rule that does baffle many people and that will never be done fully right because the only 2 options that kill the nuance is no/all skate goals count

Because rn mrazek looks even worse! We’re stuck in the Andersen/Sparks conundrum. Your starter isn’t playing as good as he usually does, and the team really doesn’t have a ton of faith in the backup

Welp. Poor Dermott. At least rielly/brodie are doing what we're paying them to do.

I still have been super impressed with Sandin/Liljegren. Those two look super promising, even though they were on the ice for a couple of the goals last night

Lol I haven't seen that statement but I don't doubt it. Idiots in every fan base, larger fan base = more idiots.

Yea, I think that's why Toronto and MTL fans are so...

Also the media, and the way they perceive the players defiently creates alot of bias in the fans.
