No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

He's like a shitty Weber when he got traded for Subban. Nerds hated Weber too so maybe Parayko could be decent.
 
I'd be kind of excited by an add like him tbh, for so long as Lilly stays. He's huge, he can skate, he can shoot.

I don't think the price would be Tverberg, especially with Tre at the helm. The 1st plus Minty or Robertson would seem to be required.

Lyubushkin Is What the Team Needs​

Lyubushkin is a very strong, aggressive and hard-nosed stay at home defenseman. Many saw that first hand in his first stint and a reason why fans loved the deal back then. Overall, he is a cheaper version of Chris Tanev as he can do his job just as effectively but with lower offensive abilities.

The Maple Leafs wanted that physical defenseman on the right side and they got him. More importantly, it gives everyone involved a sense of familiarity as everyone on the team remembers Lyubushkin from two seasons ago. While there are different faces, most of the key players still remain.

Lyubushkin only has four assists this season, but his strengths lie in breaking up plays, denying entries, laying hits and blocking shots. Something that the Maple Leafs definitely could use more. He ranked fourth on the Ducks in hits with 112 and is first in blocked shots with 138. He averaged 17:09 of ice time per game in more of a depth role, but also averaged almost three minutes on the penalty kill. Treliving said that he can kill plays and that’s something that stuck out when they did their research. He has shown that he can play higher up in the lineup which is a good thing.



Just in case anyone needed some pro scouting on our shiny new toy.

Yes. Everyone I talk to about the Leafs in real life, tbh.

People think I'm crazy. Schenn, Bogosian, Boosh - they liked all of em.

Not everyone is educated with analytics, xgf, and Zeke....run of the mill fans think big hits=good defence and define toughness in stupid ways and overvalue said toughness.

That Lafreniere goal the other night is an excellent example. Boosh chases a hit, then hits his return to home button and heads for the left post despite not a single Ranger jersey withing 30 feet of it, stands there until getting caught in no mans land and screens his goalie on a 40 foot wrist shot.

Somehow not widely considered to be at fault because he, I don't fucking know, denied the blueline or some shit.
