Oh I know it's that bad...I was just wondering if the interest they had previously was legit....cuz Id highly recommend firing the staff involved with the goalie scouting if we again thought comrie is a Mrazek, Murray Sammy reclamation project.
I want tre to make the decision on goalies. He seems to have a good eye for dmen. I don't know his history beyond Calgary to see what his goalie selections have panned out
They’ve got the 4th lowest scoring team in the league in game 2 and it’s an early start following a later start. They’re obvi starting hildy vs Anaheim.
It's legit nuts how badly the 4th line has tanked us this year. Unfortuantely our highly paid checking center actually needs to be sheltered. There have been some other combos that have been negatives (most significant one when we switched Mitch to the Tavares line), but those top 3 lines have largely been our lines this year and all 3 have been good to great. The 4th line has been a disaster no matter who's on there. And of course when Kampf was on the 3rd line to start the year that line was also a disaster.
It's sad but Keefe really does have to shelter that 4th line as much as possible despite the money invested in it. The leafs will continue to be not good enough as long as he keeps playing them like some kind of special tough usage 4th line.
The numbers for the Mo-TJ pairing are steadily creeping back up now that the other two pairings are healthy and their minutes and usage have eased up a bit.
Most of the combos of any of the other 6 of our top-8 dmen have worked well to very well, except of course the current Benoit-McCabe pairing that Keefe has been trying out as some kind of checking pairing. I think it's time McCabe-Lilly were reunited and Timmins was brought back in.
