Beautiful move on that breakaway Willy, my boy!

Knies is. such a stud. Not many kids his age have the defensive hustle, willingness to take a hit, he's the future of this team.

Agreed boys, Knies keeps on getting better and better as the playoffs go on. Great play on the Willy breakaway goal and he's playing with lots of physicality and hustle. Playing a lot smarter and avoiding penalties is a big thing, growing up right infront of our eyes.

Have you EVER seen a more pathetic PP before?
I don’t think it’s Keefe that needs to be fired!

03 May 2024 02:23:38
Keefe needs to be fired for starting Sammy 2 playoffs in a row, until it's do or die.
Then, he needs to be double fired, for putting Dewar in the press box.
Agree on the pp though, Mitch and Willy both look useless.

LL. If he had of started Woll, we would have likely won this series by now. Notice the change in play by the team with Woll in net. They are more confident with Woll in net.
This team is better than many have given them credit for. Bigger, meaner and tougher to play against.

Admit when I'm wrong, I didn't want Domi here, but he'd been fantastic. Real playoff performer.
Credit where it's due, if he replaced Marner it would cost a lot less, but be just as valuable.

I didn't want him either, but I said a while ago I was wrong and I would be glad to have Max back. See if he will take $15M over 4 or 5 years. He wants to be here and that is important.

I too was on the fence with Domi, so glad we have him now.
Hopefully he signs for $3.5/ $3.75 per year.

I was okay with Domi.
He’s been decent, tough to play against.
I’d resign him at below $4m for 3 or 4 years as well.
In those discussions I would emphasize three areas for growth: D-play which has improved, stop taking stupid penalties and shoot more!
The commentators were raving about Swayman’s save on his 2 on 1 with Bertuzzi (not the greatest shooter) .
I have to ask the question: did ANYONE believe that Domi would do anything else but pass the puck? Look at his body positioning; he could only do one thing!
Agree0

03 May 2024 00:31:59
@Rsears he didn't have his blade positioned for a shot at all, it is harder to fake shot or pass on strong side, but still.

Let's go KNIES! He had to be the one to pot it. Drive the net (as RLF said), and good thing happen.
That kid starting it with Pasta, then he puts home the winner. That's the Jersey if anyone wants one.
Not to discredit Woll. I feel like I have Dejavu. Sammy plays until it's almost done, then Woll steps in and is great.
Fire Keefe yesterday.
Marner was still the invisible man unless he did something wrong. Even In a win, he was useless.

Knies has also been much more careful with his stick and not taking 2 penalties a game. Good on him. Yes, go to the net. Swayman look human because he didn't have a clean view of the puck all the time.
Personally, I wanted Woll to start the series. I think it could be 3-2 Leafs if Keefe had started Woll. As I said before the series started, Woll plays a more playoff style game. He reads plays better, sees through traffic better and rarely slides out of position. Makes it easier on the D to do their job. He also handles the puck better than Sammy.
Keefe needs to go for sure. New voice is needed.

01 May 2024 16:19:29
Agreed on all of that.
Knies is beginning to learn how to make a difference!
I think he should reduce his cutbacks or changes of direction on the cycle; he’s predictable.
Why not incorporate a little pause/ stutter-step and continue in the original direction?
Woll was very good and has definitely earned the crease for game6.
GLG.

End of 1st. They have been going to the net and voila, a point shot with traffic goes in. They have been physical. So why in games 3 and 4 they wouldn't do any of this?

I am wondering if it is more that they didn't have Matthews. I think they feel, just give Matthews the puck and he will carry us on his back to victory. No Matthews, so now they have to play as a team to win.
Agree0

02 May 2024 20:04:28
@RLF that is definitely a flaw with Mathews' line for sure. If you shutdown the pass to Mathews, they generally have nothing else in the game plan.

30 Apr 2024 04:25:42
What's the prediction for tomorrow.
If Mathews isn't in, I can't see a win. I see this going out with a whimper.
JT-Domi up the middle just doesn't scream success to me.

Last game of the season boys. Mind you they may play better with Matthews out. They just don’t have it in them. Keefe looks checked out already and I’m sure the team feels similar. Now we wait to hear if the coaching firing and Marner trade for excitement. Watch them resign both. I’m keeping my word that if they keep Marner and the core 4 still, than I’m cheering for a new team.

Lol, glad he wasn't on the ice.
So happy to be wrong though, lol.
Great game last night, complete team effort from top to bottom. Woll stood tall and Knies had his best game in the playoffs regardless of the OT winner.
We still need to get one on the PP, it would have sealed the game without all those anxious moments.

01 May 2024 14:35:12
True. The PP is still an issue. And think about how much more dangerous this team is if the PP starts to click. The other team now starts to worry about taking penalties which should open up a little more space on the ice.
