GDT (PRE #4): Sept 29 - Leafs vs Canadiens (7:00PM TSN2)

[zeke]

Reaves does seem to be more of a natural defensively than the other goons we've had.

 

[Preston]

Was Timmins this slow last year? I know he's been awesome but I don't think I recall him being this slow?

Yes

He can work the cycle and isn’t lost defensively

it’s bad but it could be a lot worse.

 

[Preston]

Yes

Ty I thought I was going crazy but I figured that was the most likely scenario.

 

[zeke]

if he wasn't slow there's no way we would have got him for free.

 

[mbow30]

I think they keep Gregor and demote Robertson.

 

[zeke]

literally the only thing not working for Robertson this preseason is his shot. pretty funny.

 

[mbow30]

knies looked like Matthews there with the way he used his size and reach to get thays puck.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

That was some nice work from that whole PP unit. Robertson looking real shifty.

 

[zeke]

I think they keep Gregor and demote Robertson.

I think they keep both.

 

[Preston]

Robertson's shot seems to be all power, no placement. So so much power tho.

But encouraging to see he's been getting it off this game. Something he has struggled with in the NHL.

 

[zeke]

his shot hasn't even been powerful tho. he's got to relax.

 

[Preston]

He has def shortened his release, compromising some of his power so he can get his shot off. He just needs reps to figure it out I think.

looks a bit wonky.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

I'm antsy to have Cowan and Minten on this team too.

Is Kampf really better than them right now? Gotta wonder.

Laff is ok, but a waste of space if you've got kids that could be better right now.

 

[zeke]

I think Minten and Cowan have done enough to be here until the end of camp at least. If they keep it up against the fuller lineups later on it might become interesting.

 

[zeke]

Robertson up with Bertuzzi and Holmberg that shift, instead of Lafferty.

 

[zeke]

not instead of Lafferty, instead of Gregor, who's been with kampf and reaves the past couple shifts.

 

[zeke]

if our scouts actually hit on all 3 of Knies Minten Cowan as off the board late 1st/early 2nd picks that's kind of awesome.
