Ya, so where is the piss and vinegar they advertise with Bertuzzi, Domi, and Reaves?

Its just that mate - piss and vinegar - Reaves was chirping on the bench - but thats about it.
Willy's not too far behind. Matthews has been streakier but plays a better all round game and has more size.
bill nylander, decent player, but a lazy big floater imho. he could be so much better, doesnt want it. wants the money, but doesnt want to work for it. leafs could get good return if they unload this guy.
Don't know where this floater tag comes from.
Probably same place that tags him as easy to knock down or doesn't go to the front of the net.
Excerpt from The Athletic:
"His seven credited takeaways are tied for second on the Leafs with Marner (who led the league in that department last year) behind only Matthews’ 12. Relevantly, he’s also turning the puck over when he has it much less than Matthews and Marner are, with impressively just one giveaway so far this season. The latter stat is a pretty clear indicator of good puck management/protection for a player who has it as much as he does"

Not as much this year from what I can see. He's been winning some puck battles.
That goal that he set up Rielly for a couple of games ago was a special effort.
It seems like everytime the opposition has the puck in the Leafs end I hold my breath because anything can happen. Not so much when the Leafs have the puck in the other end.
Kudos to Domi for making a great defensive play near the end of the game. Hopefully it can give him a boost of confidence.

I wouldn't have predicted that...
The Sabres were on the second night of a back to back and got pummelled by the Flyers last night 5 - 1.
It was the Sabres 3rd game in 4 nights tonight.
Dylan Cozens was out after getting into a stupid fight with a Flyers goon at the end of the game, and there were several AHL call-ups in the Sabres line-up already.
Against the Flyers last night the Sabres looked horrible and were booed by their own fans.
I only saw the first period tonight against the Leafs but frankly the Sabres were looking pretty sloppy at that point.... was surprised to see the final score.

-2 again tonite, but hey, he got an assist. thats all that matters, good for him.
I say if the Leafs don't figure this out by Christmas or the New Year and fall out of the playoff spot, changes need to be made.
Reaves, Domi, Bertuzzi, Klingberg, Gregor, of those new signings, Gregor has been the best so far. I think Burtuzzi hates Toronto and is secretly playing for the Bruins (double agent).
It's teams that build a balanced line up that go to the Cup Final. The LA Kings made the Loafs look like cream puff eaters. You cannot build a balanced lineup with three so called superstars sucking up the bulk of the revenue. The Edmonton Oilers have the worst defense in the NHL, if it wasn't for the San Jose Sharks, they would be the worst team in the NHL. Most of their revenue is being sucked up by Draisaitl and McYahweh.
You finally got a chance to find a game. Good for you.
You're sounding like the guy who after each game Matthews doesn't score rants about trading him for a bag of pucks.
