WJC Talk

[Sensfanjosh]

I love choosing to be offended over online forum talk

[CasperX22]

Did ya though?

Would be surprised if you have and you're making that argument. Cause then you'd just be stupid rather than ignorant.

Lol Xmas is over btw. Back to some nasty hockey talk haha

Stupid and ignorant? That is some big talk from a beer league all-star.

I would quit talking too. You aren't doing yourself any favors.

Well we do have a st least one guy who played competitive goal -- other has yet to answer the Q.



IMO Mason was fine in that USA game - the fault in those goals lies elsewhere, badly lost draws, wingers not quick on point or in shooting lane, centre left his man and dmen crossed up or
In the worst two cases tipping the shots on our own net. Goalies an Dman who is scrambling to recover from others mistakes are the easiest to blame - they are literally in the picture as the puck goes in. IMO there was a lot of that in the Sweden game too. Shit play by forwards and a small mistake or unlucky bounce on a Dman has Blackwood or other Dman playing scapegoat.

Also - what a final 4min by Marner and where has that been all tourney...

[Nick]

Team identity is What I believe our biggest problem is. Are we physical, nope. Overly fast/push the pace - hell no. Position ally perfect and waiting for mistakes - nope, defensive shutdown with smart puck location ? Hhellll no. I just feel like we don't dictate the game at all.

[anton]

is the general consensus that marner hasn't been good?

i watched the US/Denmark/Sweden games and marner, strome, and konecny seemed to be the only players generating anything?

my other takeaway has been how vital it is for the Leafs to stay in the bottom 5 this year. 1 of Matthews, Puuljaarvi, Laine, Nylander, Tkachuk would be massive.

[The BBKL Insider]

Agree with anton. Bring back anton

[Lee]

Yay more recycled quitters.

I love the options at the top of this draft...so many prospects showing out. It's sorta strange that none of those guys are Canadian.

[Bruyns]

Chychrun deserves to be in that group Anton mentioned too and the Leafs are playing too good of late and need to start losing more. That terrible start to the year has helped our draft postition, but over the last month and a bit their record is decent.

[anton]

im a huge chychrun fan, but i'd be disappointed if we took him over any of matthews, laine, puljaarvi, or nylander.

laine is actually my favorite after matthews. kid screams malkin.

[Matthew]

I'd rather see Toronto get pulj/laine/chychrun than Matthews or alnylabder

[Bruyns]

I don't think Chychrun goes before the guys you mentioned other than maybe Nylander. Only meant that another name could be added to the top of the draft class.

[The BBKL Insider]

Blackwood is awful. We need to start developing better goalies in Canada

[bills09]

Leafs will take Tkachuck almost 100% unless Matthews is available

[thom54]

Blackwood has been bad, So has perlini ... man so many bad penalties.


selfishly, Saarela has been awesome, kid at 16 was being talked about vs. McDavid .. 2 shit years, but doing realyl well this year. Showing his game in this WJC

Why?
