GDT #3: OCT 5, 7:00, HNIC - HABS @ LEAFS

[Preston]

Marner has to stop flying the zone, that Weber chance was all him.

His cheating for offense has been at all-world levels tonight.

 

[Preston]

Get one here. Even up call is coming.

 

[BeLeafer]

Who would like to see Moore in Kappy's spot?

 

[MindzEye]

Montreal is easier to play against than Columbus for sure.

Fer sure

No. Kappy is good and will figure out that line (and his off wing), that 3rd line looks good together and is providing balance.

 

[BeLeafer]

Helluva pass by Tavares ... wasted on that stick.

Balance is a good case. Not sure he's coming around though.

 

[Preston]

They're steamrolling teams. No need to change things now really. When Hyman comes back kappy may land himself a fourth line role though. Which to me just shows how stacked they are more than anything.

Has he? I don't think he's really been on the left side, he may start there every shift but he never stays there and Marner always has to switch to the left. I don't know if that's by design or what but it seems like Kappy doesn't know he's supposed to be on the left side of the ice more then not..

 

[BeLeafer]

I'm not sure about the steamrolling. I need more blob. Not much high danger stuff 5v5.

Skill wingers are often roamers. The Marners and kanes have always played like a center on offense. Kappy just has to read and react and yeah, they're often on opposite sides.

Just meant on the scoreboard. I agree they haven't been great yet. Still crushing teams though.

 

[BeLeafer]

Ceci been good again after the wobbly play earlier.

 

[Preston]

Third line carrying them tonight.

 

[leaffan2005]

Ceci been good again after the wobbly play earlier.

He is legit solid. Big with great reach, can move the puck well. Good on the PK. Going to be valuable for us this year.

 

[MindzEye]

Balance is a good case. Not sure he's coming around though.

Did you seem him being as good as he was as a rookie though?

 

[zeke]

Man look how badly we are missing Hyman.

Marners line could use him.

I'm seeing him as he played in the second half last year.

 

[BeLeafer]

Yep. I was shocked when I looked at his numbers this summer driving high danger chances.
