Canucks @ Leafs - Feb. 8th, 7:00pm - SNO, TSN 1050

[CarltonTheBear]

With Thornton and Robertson nearing returns and guys like Engvall, Anderson, Boyd, and Petan all outperforming him to various levels it might be getting time to end the Barabanov experiment. He's arguably 17th on the forward depth chart now.

Random question... Vincent Damohousse is the youngest Leaf to 300pts. Was he underrated?

 

[Deebo]

I don't know about you guys, but even when the Canucks were dominating possesion it didn't feel like the Leafs were going to lose.

 

[L K]

The Leafs played this game like Game of Thrones season 8: pretty much a turd, but hey dragons (Matthews scoring)!

The thing is the Canucks kind of forgot about Matthews

Definitely. Damphousse was a great player, and an excellent playmaker.

Hey he had a decent shift with the JT line lol. I would actually like to see him get a shot with JT's line. He hasn't done much but he hasn't hurt them either other then that penalty tonight.

Good sneakiness by Marner and Hyman here on the set play first to shake his check and then drop a panic bomb and basically double team Beagle with Matthews. They used the linesman and their double up grouping to force an overload and sort out decision while Tyler Myers is covering air over there.

Wow I was out walking Lupo and missed it. I guess bad teams find a way to lose when they dominate a game. Canucks really should have won

We've seen Leafs lose many games over the years like the Canucks did tonight.

The list of guys I've seen in the NHL who were more dangerous as goal scorers than Matthews is right now is pretty short. Lemieux, Ovechkin, Crosby maybe at his best, flashes of McDavid, Lindros/Selanne possibly.

Prime Bure?

2021 Berezin you dummy!

Ah, Sergei.  Pavel Bure without the talent.

Berezin donated to this site in the old penalty box days I believe

Awesome. I liked Berezin. Remember when he fooled everyone by passing to Thomas in OT?

Honestly? I'd put Matthews ahead of that the way he's playing. Bure frequently used his speed to generate great chances but if he got the puck in the offensive zone I think he had less ways of scoring than Matthews has right now.

That was the only name I could think of that Nik didn't list.

He can score off nothing plays against very good teams and goalies and a lot of the time it looks just a basic chance and somehow Matthews buries it. It's pretty wild.

No kidding?  I don't seem to recall that.

Maybe I?m confusing it with something else?  I thought there was a Leaf that donated years ago and I thought it was Berezin but maybe I?m misremembering?

I suppose Rick would remember.

I am quite certain that it was Berezin who donated to PBox back then. 

In fact, around 94% certain.
