@TalkeyHockey Yeah, let’s introduce a new element into a line that’s played one game together because they have zero chemistry!

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

What a beauty this guy is! We’re so lucky to have him. What a brilliant waiver pickup by Tre and Chief. Unfortunately, that probably means he’ll be gone soon. I bet you his ‘expected’ goals aren’t great or something…

Troy Stecher:

“I love being a Maple Leaf”

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@TJinReg @mariocosentino7 He was fully screened on all the goals. Most were tips. What’s he supposed to do?

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@mariocosentino7 Exactly! It won’t work. It’s never worked. It will never work. This is just encouraging bad habits. I don’t understand how real hockey fans can enjoy watching this…

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

You know Stetcher is awesome when you realize that he’s doing what he’s doing with Rielly chained to his ankle. I’ll take the win but I’m not a fan of pond hockey that is being played this early in the season. #Leafs are coming out on top now but it won’t work in the playoffs.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@MitchManners And where is he in being on for goals against? ‘Cause I’m counting exactly one game this season in which he wasn’t on for a goal against. This super-high event early season free for all hockey and playing from behind chasing games looks good for his assists column. Not real.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

Used up and chewed up even though (because!) He contributed to #Leafs’ success and gave them a great deal. Meanwhile, Rielly’s still here with his inflated cap hit & no-move-clause giving up games every night. Message: The worse you treat the Leafs the better they’ll treat you.

An angle of Matthew Knies during the national anthem yesterday has surfaced, appearing to show a teardrop coming down Knies’ face 😭

Don’t know if it’s just lighting or something unrelated, but I feel like lots of Leafs Nation felt the same way seeing Knies in another team’s jersey last night 💙

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@williamjones8 @TheRog590 Yeah, the guy that’s not been on for a goal against exactly once this season.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

Another totally ‘unexpected’ goal by the 4th line to bring the Leafs to even. Duhaime stays with the play and makes sure the puck is in the net.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

Look at my boy Zach MacEwen go on this shift! Teddy Blueger form Latvia finishes it off. This one’s for all the pussies whining about how the 4th liners aren’t ‘expecting’ enough goals.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

You’ll be ‘expecting’ a long ass time for some do these lines to deliver those goals lol.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@thatssoleafy77 Hide Rielly!! Don’t let him get on the plane or we’re screwed!

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@MWhalen1907 @JayOnLeafs @EdmontonOilers @NHL They’re both much better defensively (not to mention offensively!) than Morgan Rielly.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@JayOnLeafs @ldl716 ‘Since Tanev went down’ = since he’s stepped into Tanev’s role and since he’s been given harder minutes but without Morgan Rielly as a partner to drag him down and make him look like a bum.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@katman434 Priority no. 1: Shield Morgan Rielly form all criticism, physical contact, difficult matchups and defensive assignments.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@LeafsRundown You people have to find a way to measure defensive impact. 4th liners are not ‘expected’ to score goals. They are expected to be tough and physical and defensive and keep the ‘events’ from happening. The guy is one of the best PKers we’ve seen in blue and white. Leave him alone.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@YYZcm82 @WatchMyReview I say do what you gotta do to get Werensky and Edvinsson (make sure Rielly is off the team!) and try to win the Cup this year. That probably means one of the top 6 has to go - Marchenko or Cowan probably along with 1sts and Danford & Koblar.

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@pcmt7591 I wish people would boycott the games but then I realize the guys in the arena are literally the guys who own the place and the clubs and the TV networks and the adjacent industries….

“I tried to go legit and used Sportsnet for one season,” one respondent wrote. “But then they jumped the price up by 30 per cent. These companies don’t care any more. We’re just wallets waiting to be pilfered to them.” Me too - I was paying the bastards for subscription. Enough!

@YYZcm82 @WatchMyReview No buddy. You try to win with Matthews this year and next and then you pivot if you have to…

[BBB @BringBackBabs]

@YYZcm82 @WatchMyReview Dude, we have Matthews for one or two more seasons. How do we have ‘lots of time’?
