I'm not saying it's not important, but it might not be that important if your offense is stacked. Not that Matthews/Tavares = Crosby/Malkin That's just it. Pitts did it but their centers are way better defensively. Islanders were pretty vocal about JT's lack of defensive play. Mathews still to prove he can step up. Kadri is actually their best Selke type forward. Bozak will be missed as he was a good checking forward as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not because he will be too busy pulling defensive center duties now that one of their best defensive centers in Bozak is gone. Hainsy? How old is he? Cup favourites? Please, get real oddsmakers. Kadri was the one drawing defensive assignments. Bozak was the one being sheltered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted September 13, 2018 Author Share Posted September 13, 2018 TSN reporting no "A" for Mathews this year. I find that odd. I'm still not convinced all is well between Mathews and Babcock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Watch Toronto will trade Liljegren and a 1st for Karlsson. Because Ottawa wants a first round pick back, and dump salary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'm not sure why they bother with the 2018/19 season. All sources and pundits have Toronto winning anyways. Let's just fast forward to 19/20 and get this over with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they flame out in the playoffs due to a poorly constructed defense, it'll be worth it. Those sources and pundits will have to dig deep into the excuse well to find new reasons for why the team failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both commentators went on and on with how Tavares does this. Ummm......pretty much every player does this in the NHL. If you dont your not in the NHL anymore.

I have said and I was glad to hear it repeated. Let's win a playoff round and then talk Stanley Cup favs. I would of liked to hear Sid touch on the "best coach in the world" with one Stanley Cup and how many Jack Adam's? Zero.

189lb enforcers? Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 What, four years after a total tear-down, the Leafs must win the Cup or bust to you guys? Ha awesome. - Unlike the Canucks whose kids, some who still haven’t made the AHL never mind the NHL? Pure gold, this site. Never change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
