and he is becoming a goon as seen from last night game.

Darn, beat me to it.

Well, since he got his big contract, greedy perimeter Willy only has 10 goals and 10 assists in 18 games.
- Zezel

I heard from a guy that Nylander is just about to sign a new endorsement deal, and that's the only reason he's still playing hard.

Once they sign the contract, he'll stop trying because he's lazy and a Euro and gorgeous and I'm not jealous at all and he sucks.

I never wanted to go to Pittsburgh, but then last night I saw the same commercial 76 times with Colby Armstrong telling me to go there, so I'm packing my bags right now.

Did he mentioned the salads?

TJ Brodie and Timothy Liljegren played about 70 five on five minutes together in Morgan Rielly’s absence.

The Leafs outscored teams 7-0 in those minutes, winning 53 percent of the expected goals.

Rielly returns from suspension tonight.

Don't post this in the main blog, Eklund will add Rielly to the rumours chart.

I almost feel bad for Reilly. We’re due for a loss and we all know what the narrative will be.

I love how he's getting more scrappy and not afraid of physical contact like that other Leaf superstar

Your post counts as the 2nd time someone has mentioned this - as we know from the movie Beetlejuice it only takes 3 times….

Matthews unreal. Wow

If we trade him now we can get a number 4 stay at home minute muncher D.

Malkin has the exact same GP, goals and assists as Tavares this year.

He's doing it for $6.1M a year.
- Atomic Wedgie

Yeah. I find his give-a-crapometer is flaky. He's an insanely good player - who is about to be 38. I just don't think he always puts out an honest effort. That said, I will wholly admit that I haven't watched a lot of Penguins games this year, but when I have I'd noticed Crosby and Guentzel more than Malkin.

then he should

the juice was up late last night watching the game
might be crawling out of bed and headed to the lake to catch something to eat about now.

I’m honestly so amazing how I’m always right. I know it bugs you guys having to watch me make my predictions and hot takes, and always end up being right.

I said two days ago that Willy needs some grittier players on his line, and you’ll see more of this from him.

I’ll overlook his bad mental lapses lastnight, because that’s the best game I’ve ever seen him play. I honestly think part of the 11.5M deal, it was made very clear to Willy that he’s changing his game. He can’t skate away as soon as scrums start. He has to battle along the boards. One game he did it, let’s hope he keeps it going.

In solely Brodie's minutes in Rielly absence, the Leafs outscored teams 12-0 at 5v5 and had 61.5% of the expected goals.

Maybe keep Brodie away from Rielly for a spell and keep that pairing the same. The real challenge is finding that D who can play well with Rielly. They've interchanged a lot of them and Benoit and McCabe have both posted poor results, albeit in limited minutes - granted they are left-handed. He's out for the foreseeable future, but Timmins posted solid numbers alongside Rielly (+4 in 22 minutes of icetime and 56% xGF).

We all know Tanev is a perfect fit there.

CGY knows it too though.

I think Dallas gets him.

- shack67

That we played a team with more than 65pts and maybe lost?
We already know the team plays great without morgan, record is like 32 amd 14 or something like that.
But the record with morgan is pretty decent as well.

That is not $11.5M numbers.

Engvall and Sandin were not as high on the depth chart as Roy is to the Kings. He's the #2 RD. You're welcome to dream but 1. I don't see why they can't resign him 2. Don't be disappointed when he isn't a leaf

Kings have aspirations of making the playoffs as they did so last year. I don't think they are going to re-tool and trade away important pieces in hopes of getting someone better. They likely just add to the existing team.
- Aaron_85

Agreed. Roy isn't going anywhere and he likely re-signs with the Kings in the off-season.

Doesn't sound like a terrible thing to try ..pair Rielly and Timmy and shelter them heavily with OZone and Matthews. Pure offense tandem. The other two pairs can defend the tougher minutes.

Just about every Kings fan will disagree, they can't

Unless they plan on trading Byfield and going with another poop goalie tandem.

From the tweeter.
Needs reposting in the sens thread

"Auston Matthews reached 50 goals before the Ottawa Senators reached 50 points."

That is not $11.5M numbers.
- rSole

8 of those games he put up donuts for goals and assists.

Trade him!
