We had the same conversation when Morgan was out last year. Same conversation when Marner was out, when Tavares was out, etc... It's next man up mentality and it's simplifying the game, but also when a star on your team is out the opposing team has to have a different plan for you. Surprised nobody is mentioning this.
Stolarz was the stealth of the decade for Leafs. What a great sign, with minimum salary as bonus. Just 2,50 million USD per season for 2 yrs. He is playing underpaid nxt season too. His market value atm is over 5 million, if he can play the whole season , some 45- 50 games on same level . Hiw much over, time will be known before 2026-2027 season starts. Congrats!
I have a 100% trust on Barry Trotz. He will fix Nasville' s problems, with one way or the other. Those guys have next 5-6 times to show their value for the team. Starting the rebuilding process now is also an option.
I agree with Brad May. In terms of the start of the season... this might be the best Leafs roster we have seen in the last 5 to 8 years. Does it top one to three of our Post Trade Deadline rosters.... arguably no.
I guess ppl have to be careful on what you say bc you dont want to hurt Matthews feelings...crazy winning record without him in line up but the proof is right there man... TEAM CHEMISTRY ISSUES. Guys on the team need to feel like there apart of the team man. Last year it was a one man show with everyone wanting to set up Matthews . Thats not team sports. A recipe for a winning team. They need to change culture in dressing room.
Seems simple to me. Play Matthews with 2 "guys" and keep Marner on his own line. Whole point of this is to have 3 waves - one with Marner, one with Nylander, one with Matthews. Knies/Matthews/Jarnkork or "guy"/Patches/Tavares/Nylander, McMann/Domi/Marner.
That’s always been the answer pretty sure Mitch sulked to keefe to go back all the time, knies,Matthews and anyone else is fine marner helps JT or Willy just as much and doesn’t force turnovers to Auston
Yeah good Knies can make up for Tavares, but that doesn't grow the core it just keeps it even, which isn't good enough. Go Stolarz is all I have to say. He's our chance at a deep playoff run.
It's almost impossible to win in the playoffs playing flashy hockey. Playing this North/South style and getting pucks to the net is the way you win in the playoffs. This season is TRAINING for the playoffs. Get the softys ready! No more migraines. No more Matth-flus.
Marner doesn't do himself any favours in the media but can't deny he's a top 5 or 10 playmaker in the world. He was insane last night, think I counted 2 times that guys literally ended up on their ass trying to stay on him in the o zone. Edge work is next level
The difference is marner has always been better on a different line too he hyper focuses on Matthews and turns it over way too much he should be with Tavares and Willy or whoever else. Matthews, knies and anyone else will be fine on 1st maybe domi
saw Bourne on the big show, definitely the weakest link. Edmonton is the most hated team. for your so-called Leafs show , always throwing top players for Toronto under the bus. while constantly sucking ass for the Oilers. you guys really need to change the name of your show and move to northern Alberta. I like( fun time at the ape exhibit). love from everybody in Columbus.
Thank you for putting out your show as it always helps me get through my workday.

Here for the Canucks talk. Nice to have your perspective on the team.
Kyper bringing in Ben in the end was class
I think Brad May was awesome in this

When Kyper mentioned Pacioretty's age, Today's 35 year old NHL player is good to go. Super fit and durable
You forgot about Dakota Joshua. The canucks are still missing him.

nothing about stolarz in opening? lol
Lets hope they do not overwork Stolarz before the playoffs.

Another bad night for the “Matthews carriers Marner” bullshit narrative. Marner is amazing.
Marner doesn't do himself any favours in the media but can't deny he's a top 5 or 10 playmaker in the world. He was insane last night, think I counted 2 times that guys literally ended up on their ass trying to stay on him in the o zone. Edge work is next level
Until it's time for the playoffs.
Dying to see him just drive his own line. Put him with Domi and McMann or something and let him do his thing.
The difference is marner has always been better on a different line too he hyper focuses on Matthews and turns it over way too much he should be with Tavares and Willy or whoever else. Matthews, knies and anyone else will be fine on 1st maybe domi
Leafs were 8-4-1 last year without Marner. Matthew’s played his best hockey with Domi and Bertuzzi. The pp was at 32% without Marner. Need more proof.
Hopefully when Matthews is back marner gets moved to second line and domi stays on 1st line
Stolarz is great....but seems to lose his stick a lot
Kyper seems such a great bloke 👍🏻
