The Fantastically Beautiful Joyously Superfun 22-23 Season Celebration Thread

I mean i prefer ROR as 3C but as long as all 3 of Kampf Laff ZAR are clearly outside the top 3 lines i'm happy.

 

[Artnes]

McCabe Brodie should be a permanent fixture no?

 

[leafman101]

I do like JT-ROR-Marner though.

good old Don Cherry gritty, skilled Ontario boys line.

 

[Preston]

I love ROR in the top 6 but I'm not sure they have the depth to pull that off. They need him to drive the bus on the 3rd line I think. I don't mind trying this though.. If the 3rd line can hold its own, it could work.

 

[zeke]

P

McCabe Brodie should be a permanent fixture no?

Yeah probably.

The issue is Rielly has just been so terrible paired with anyone other than TJ. Probably trying to get Mo back on track.

 

[Wayward DP]

I dunno why we're sticking to ROR on the wing personally. We can build three really good lines.

Sheldon really likes Kampf as his 3C? who the fuck knows anymore

Remember tho if Willy is healthy then that's probably one of Willy or Bunting on that line with Acciari and Kerf.

 

[Wayward DP]

I'd probably build the three lines around:

Matthews-Marner
Tavares - Nylander
ROR - Acciari

Mix and match Jarnkrok, Bunting, Kerf, and potentially Knies I guess as your LW. Does that not make more sense?

HL > Keefe

 

[Wayward DP]

Well....emergency recall would indicate no IR for murray for now at least.

I think that speaks more to how the Leafs handle brain injuries than its severity though...

 

[thehabhater]

These last 6 games are merely rehearsals for first round chess moves.

 

[Wayward DP]

2 nice things here:

1. Acciari is not with Kampf finally. Acciari with Kerfoot and placeholder would indicate Acciari on the 3rd line, and so most importantly with ZAR-Kampf-Laff being the 4th liners.

2. Genuinely re-jigged d pairs that have Lilly back with Gio and Schenn as the #7. Nice to see.

re #2 - nice to see Lilly back in, but feels like we're wasting Brodie with Mo.

 

[zeke]

I still find it weird that our speed, defense, and super possession guy Engvall was never given a look to maybe try and help shore up those specific weaknesses on the tavares line.

Gio-Lilly is the exciting one to see for me. Gio-Holl has been very solid in tough usage but thay pair will always be a bit limited. But Gio-Lilly can be a legit great pairing if Lilly can get back in the groove.

And that would leave Holl and Schenn to fight over the spot beside Mo on a sheltered pairing.

 

[MindzEye]

Cup wins only.

Repeat or gfto

Common issue with the Leafs.

[zeke]

Looks like ROR was just placeholding...

 

[trujaysfan]

Yeah, in agreement here.

Jarnkrok Matthews Marner
Kerfoot Tavares Nylander
Bunting ROR Acciari
ZAR Kampf Lafferty (not high on them but it's the fourth line at least)

Jarnkrok matthews marner
Knies tavares Nylander
Bunting ROR Acciari
Kerfoot Kampf (human being that plays 1 min)

 

[hockeylover]

I will hold onto hope of a Bunting-ROR-Acciari line.

Who will probably get called for penalties for merely existing in the first round now that i think about it.

 

[trujaysfan]

Even if you line up ROR as the 3rd line C you can probably still get him a bunch of shifts with Tavares or Matthews
