Yeah the fourth line with Hawryluk played and helped set up the tone for our top lines...

The plot thickens with these future bottom 6 spots. So many youngsters(Mac/Gaud/Virtanen/Hawryluk/Michaelis?) competing for not that many spots. 
 

Nice to have this sort of depth and competition. Sets the bar higher for these youngsters to stand out and earn them.

Should stay in the lineup 

He made one mistake on his coverage for the first leafs goal but aside from that I only noticed good things. He’s also very fast.

Heinen, Zegras and a 3rd...

I’d refuse unless they added Drysdale 

[HockeyHarry]

Jake got the kinda goals tonight that we all been waiting for him too do.

What the heck happened to Jake?  Did his girlfriend tell him she was pregnant or something. Wow. 
Play him Green. 

I suggested a few days ago to tar and feather jake and rename him "Joel Roussel" atleast he'd break a sweat.

 

If not, maybe shave his groin was also a recommendation...

 

 

Guess they did both!

[spur1]

Settle down folks....after all it was just the Least we were playing. 

[zetagumdam]

Good win tonight!  Pray that they will play with the same (or even higher) intensity next game.  Don’t be like what they used to do in previous occasions where they came out flat after a big win and got hammered badly.

Well, at least a back handed compliment from you!

How is that "back handed" ?

 

Huh? Somehow pointing out that they managed to play one of their best games of the season without Petey is "back handed."

 

Jesus just spare me.

Too bad we didn’t play Demko last game 

Can’t sit your backup forever, Demko is clearly getting starter reps. About time to get over it.

We have like 12 players that could easily slot into the 4th line each night and give us good energy. I genuinely believe our 4th line has been good all year despite the merry go round of players. Just a matter of getting a legit 3rd line out there.

It’s healthy to have so many young players competing for these few bottom 6 spots long term. 
 

It’s good depth and sets the bar higher to earn these spots.

Favorite part of the night was the big ass smile on Jake after his second goal. Happy for him.

Yeah the depth seems to be sorting itself out despite the losses..  Imo, most of our 30+ year old FA should walk and give there minutes to these (cost controlled) prospects.   Rolling fours lines helps keep the whole line up engaged...

That feeling when the Canucks beat the Leafs

[Dirtman]

No collapse tonight, feels good. See you Saturday

[oldnews]

Beagle won every draw he took tonight.

Sutter was 67%

Miller 60%

Horvat 38%

 

Thought Edler and Schmidt were solid (as usual).

[VegasCanuck]

Virtanen was engaged, was physical, was a force out there.

 

Now, we know that he can do it, he just needs to keep doing it!

Either that or turpentine and a wire brush.

We always knew what he could do, wish e could figure out why he isn’t.
