No Excuses No Limits! The mother fucking goddamn season thread

[zeke]

I dunno. I thought Minten & Grebs looked good. And these days, I wholly and completely reject nerd stats in favour of what my own eyes see.

Hopefully the plan isn’t to replace those guys with a steady diet of Reaves and Kampf.

You must be happy with the Leafs also now rejecting nerd stats then!

Funny thing is the major reason Minten and Grebs were even here is because of their gudpro intangibles.

Minten is heady and talks gud on the bench. Grebs is gritty and jokes gud on the bench.

Nerdies, turdies. You have to let these kids just keep playing.

 

[zeke]

Think they both could use topline AHL time tbh.

Looks like Kamlf boots Dewar out of the lineup. Dewar lining up with the dmen in practice.

So a Lorentz-Kampf-Reaves 4th line again, with Holmberg and Dewar sitting.

I wonder if they have a preference between Holmberg and Dewar. They seem pretty similar tbh.

Myers was actually good last game. And maybe the one before that too.

Benny may be sitting for a while if these pairings keep playing like they've played.

McCabe-Tanev 258min 54.2xgf% 60.0gf%

Rielly-Myers 73min 56.6xgf% 48.7gf%
(Rielly-Timmins 34min 58.2xgf% 64.6gf%)

OEL-Timmins 69min 59.3xgf% 66.7gf%
(OEL-Myers 4min 85.7xgf% 50.0gf%)



That being said McCabe-Tanev have been absolutely terrible in the couple games since mccabe came back so hopefully they get it back together or else these pairings won't work.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Fucking Kampf over Dewar.

 

[Wayward DP]

did you ever expect anything different?

 

[thehabhater]

Hildeby will eventually score a goal

 

[zeke]

Kampf is a waste of cap sure but dewar's no better than him imo. Neither is holmberg tbh. Kampf is also the one 4th liner that's a legit plus at faceoffs.

The bigger issue is Reaves over dewar/holmberg.

But the Leafs made sure with that laughable performance against detroit that Reaves won't be coming out maybe ever.

He's still fine. Not a setback.

 

[WellPlayed]

Elite goaltending was fun while it lasted.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

remember when they said they got good news?

I guess relative to having to cut off his legs this is good news.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

the biggest mistake they can make is overplay Woll.

 

[LeafGm]

Now feels like the perfect time for Woll to make an innocuous post-to-post save, then somehow end up with a blown ACL that takes him out for the rest of the season.

 

[WellPlayed]

Our strategy of assembling the most injury prone goalies in the league is going to plan. Bring on Matt Murray!

As long as they are healthy for the playoffs it's still a very good strategy

I’m sure they would if they could…but funny enough, he’s injured too!

And really, this does put a perfect exclamation point on just how stupid Kypreos’s recent, brain-damaged “Leafs should trade one of their goalies” musings were.
