is he one of those "I'm just gonna roll my lines" coaches or is he pretending that 4th line is a "shut-down" line

Watching the replay ROR had a chance to catch Verhaeghe but just completely ran out of gas and straight-legged it after the red line, my anxiety that he was gonna break and lose effectiveness is growing

O'Reilly's skating was never great to begin with as I recall so it's no surprise age is making that even more evident

how did Brandon Montour become an offensive dynamo this season anyhow
he had zero glimpses of that in his game

The Leafs have not looked good so far this playoffs. They better get their poo poo together soon.

There's only so far you can go with Luke Schenn playing 20 minutes a night

Where do the leafs go from here I wonder...
I don't know that they have the wing depth to spread the lines out like they are... maybe just load up the top 2 and hope that pushes through?
There's not a lot they can defensively/goaltending-wise

Carolina plays the most relentlessly boring style. It's just bad angle shots or point shots hoping for tips and then dump everything in and grind teams down.

I respect it but man it's the grindiest style of hockey.

Sufficiently speedy teams can beat grinders
Dan Byslma found that out ages ago, you just need to stretch pass and chase, they'll never beat you to the puck

Canes looking cool and good thanks to their vastly superior red jerseys.

I like how sparkly the silver accent is on them
I don't recall the old ones being quite so severe and it really helps them stand out as an accent line

also what the gently caress is Ray Ferraro talking about, it's not a judgement call lmao

Ferraro is a very bad announcer. I don't know why he's got the gig

Luke Hughes for Graves will never happen but it should. Hopefully Meier is ready to go Friday.

Other than that, obviously need a better start, better goaltending, and Wes McCauley to be launched into the sun.

Yeah they were flat as gently caress
they need an infusion of youthful energy

It’s impressive how many shots a game Timo can fire off, too bad absolutely nothing happens from it

I have a hard time thinking of a comparable for him. He's clearly very talented but doesn't really drive play in a particularly flashy way that you think a 40 goal scorer would

Maybe it's just frequency bias but Jake Guentzel-ish, maybe? Maybe a bit bigger, a bit stronger

I know it's a bit cliche but you can tell when a team "believes" and when a team doesn't and the devils don't look like a team that believes right now

I sincerely did not know Martinook was still in the league, let alone that he was an effective player

Good Soldier Svejk

well as a positive... the devils are a super young team and they beat the rangers
there's no reason to think they can't do as well or better for the next 3-5 years at least and as the rookies get some experience they may end up less shaken when things melt down
