Benoit doesn’t seem to be quite as good as he did when he got paired with a top 4 guy
- Dozzer

Think he is trying too hard, like the expectation is he has to carry the pairing so he is just overthinking things instead of just playing like he did last year

nice

I'm in favour of taking Benoit out, moving McCabe back to the left side and putting Liljegren in.

Can't maximize Lily's value from the pressbox anyways. Benoit is getting eaten alive last few games.

They won’t be putting a $4.51 mill guy on the bottom pairing

AH upcoming power kill by the Leafs.

are they trying to not win this game?

ok, they are just testing my patience.

Or maybe he just looked better than he actually is on last year’s brutal D.

this means the rebuild is off??

Then put OEL or Rielly there and look to even up the minutes for the pairings 5v5.

If you think that's a logical reason to let a guy continue getting destroyed and playing an inferior group, that's poor logic

nah.
that not till next year.
technically he's a 4M dman

Agreed though I still hate those jerseys. Potential but lack contrast and need tweaking. Never been a fan.
- Roadrunner75

Oh i dont like them either, but i have no issue seeing the difference between the two teams.

One thing for sure is that once we start activating dudes off of IR, they're not going to have to fight their way back onto this roster (looking at you, Holberg, Benoit).

The D isn’t the problem and Liljegren doesn’t fit the game anyways. Need to get the forwards playing a better two way game.

Only 2!!!

Agreed, lili needs to be rotated in/out of line up.

Here we go

Only 2!!!
- Dozzer

for da Leafs and 2 from Chicago ....

Had to pause and restart.

Back up to speed.

Crosschecking still not a penalty?

Game management was a little obv in this one.

And, I think Benoit was made some solid decisions, too. Gotta expect warts on the guys not making a shizerload.

Holmberg yes. Benoit, nope, Hakanpaa is a right side guy, he’ll be in over Timmins.

And (frank)… the hatty *shakes head*

Here we go
- Fakepartofme

oh boy

Woof, Willy, that's your guy

🤬🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Full admission…I have Connor in my head to head tonight. Goals only.

You shut your whore mouth traitor

Dammit.

Would've surely had that d-bag if the fantasy league were still up.

Ultimately, I don't look to you to confirm if I'm right or wrong, because you are wrong a shocking amount.

I can agree on the forwards needing to be better but you improve everywhere you can every night. You don't look at a guy on your blueline and go wow, he is getting destroyed, let's continue to watch him get destroyed and focus on improving the forwards. Not how it works.
