I like our roster, JB has done an amazing job

 

i take issue with guys in the lineup that are blatantly floating while others sit

 

given that, why don’t I have the right to call out Green? Trust me nobody want us to kill the Leafs more than I do but going into this game I don’t have a good feeling

 

i hope I am wrong

 

 

No one ever argues that someone doesn't have the right to express an opinion, as we all have the right to express our opinions on CDC, such as how I think your opinion on Green is rubbish.

Why is Jake not with EP and Miller?

Why is Toffoli not with Bo and Pearson

sit Roussel

move Loui to the 4th line 

 

simple changes 

 

will me make them? 

Freudian slip? The answer is no, you won't, because you're not the coach.

This is exactly it. This is like Willy D's love for Kaput/Magma. As we are a young rebuilding team, why would we want to see a has-been like LE have more ice time then our "up- an- comer's" like Jake? or MacEwen? or any of our young defenseman who have had short stints with the big cub in years past(our bottom Dmen have struggled at times). 

I really think TG is afraid of losing his job just as Willy did ,instead of "doing what is good for the team". 

Note to Travis; We are not Stanley Cup Contenders yet so let the kids play!

Ditto. In some ways he does remind me of Willy.

LE = Megna

TG makes it harder on Bo making him babysit LE.

Bo's always getting the s@& end of the stick.Bo's scoring is taking the hit.

How dare we not be 63-0-0 by now? So many squandered points, fire Green.

We came out hot. Lou wasn’t in the line up to start the season, and we were pretty healthy. The most frustrating parts of those games was watching Edler fumble the puck on the first unit power play.

Well he is Bigger, Stronger, Faster, Younger , Hits Harder and is much more Offensive then Jake don't you know. :lol:

 

Those are all "big things"...not LE's "thing". Hes more if a Smaller, Weaker, Slower, Older, Non-physical Defensive specialist.

We made the same mistake with Kessler. We catered to the Sedins while Kessler was stuck with whatever was left over and so we relied entirely on the Sedins producing. This backfired on us in 2011. You stop the Sedins, you stop us from winning. 

Not sure why Boes wasn't put on Bo's line he was pushed to the 3rd line, same with Jake. LE over Boeser and Jake?...….yeah OK.

Who's Kessler?

 

We catered to the Sedins because they were our scoring leaders...your own words "you stop the Sedins, you stop us from winning" so of course they were catered to.  It also provided Ryan/others an open door to pick up where they dropped off when they became targeted.  Sort of what happens when Petey's the focus but it opens up room/opportunity for others...who take it and make it something special.    

 

Kes was given a fair shake here.  Sometimes you place strong players with others to raise their game (too)...it's a team game.  So placement isn't always a punishment to one guy and can be more of trying to spark others.
