Pens @ Loafs 1900h EST / 0000h GMT

The Laziest Team In Hockey is running out of runway

[Smitty-48]

Newly acquired Denis Malgin slots in on the fourth line to start with Spezza and Clifford

If he adds the spark Dubas and McFarlane are hoping he will, he might get moved up

Could also take somebodies spot on the second power play if he gels with Spezza




The game meal for tonight is Beef Stroganoff

Why are they buying an offense player when it is defence where their weakness is?

Why are they buying an offense player when it is defence where their weakness is?

There's no defenseman which the Leafs want who are available at a price Dubas is willing to pay

The Leafs only have three players other teams are interested in, Sandin, Liljegren and Robertson

That's the best and only real "A" grade prospects the Leafs have left in their depth chart

Dubas doesn't want to trade the future away for a short term fix

In the offseason the Leafs hired the Florida Panther's assistant coach, Paul McFarlane

He's familiar with Malgin and he thinks Malgin has more to give, and Dubas obviously agreed

They're trying to get the team going, they're hoping Malgin can add some energy and maybe boost the powerplay

Right now Keefe is sending him out with Tavares and Nylander, so Malgin is being played in Kerfoot's spot

Kerfoot having degenerated into a dead weight player at this point, he's been doing nothing for weeks now,

The Loafs are still playing in a fog and running around in their own zone, soft as warm baby shit

Even if this team wants to be better, they just can't help themselves, they don't have the right mix of players

Pens playing a good road game right now, laying back and waiting for the Loafs to cough the puck up again

Nylander gets rolled, Pens counter attack, Malgin takes a penalty under pressure as the Pens blow by him

[Montegriffo]

Better start than Tuesday night. Keeping faith with Andersen hasn't let them down so far. 6 saves in the power play.

[Montegriffo]

Cool

Jake Muzzin manages to clank one off the post and in, 1-0 Schloafs

Maybe they'll loosen up now, because they are still playing nervous, skating on egg shells

They're inside their own heads, and it's like a fog

[Montegriffo]

Go Will go.
