Global Series SWE: Maple Leafs @ Red Wings - Nov. 17th, 2:00pm - TSN4, Fan 590

I don't know if long term McMann is good enough to be a mainstay in the lineup but having Gregor and McMann with Kampf has turned that line into a useful line.

Reaves shouldn't touch the ice again

McMann is good enough. That line has been good without Reaves..it's the 4th line

 

[L K]

Full marks to Sammy.  He hasn't faced a lot of difficult shot since the 2nd goal but he didn't let it rattle him and he has been steady since that goal

Grandma is not impressed.

That?s actually Scandinavian ecstatic.

Why is this so damn funny??

They said she'd never been to any of his games before.  Had better things to do.

Thanks - I had heard that. In truth I was referring to the ecstatic comment

Swede beautiful victory

Swede beautiful victory

They got their legs going and took over.

Good comeback. Thank god for the Tavares line.

 

[Deebo]

They don't even have to count all the goals they scored to beat the Red Wings.

 

[Arn]

Give Nylander all the money.

It is quite startling how different a team then are just by removing one player in Reaves. The forward lines look so much more balanced and useful.

(Also Klingberg, I guess, but the D needs some work still)

I'm starting to like Bertuzzi.

He?s finally started to look comfortable and fit in.

He matches Tavares-style hockey

I thought he was just going to chip it back deep when he scooped up the puck near the blueline

C'mon...it's Willy, he likes ragging the puck.

Here he did the thing I expected earlier

Difference is he was going towards his own D man who had to back out

Agree but I thought they played well today. I think the Leafs played a very good defensive game overall. Lagesson has been a pleasant surprise and having McCabe back sure helps.

If Lagesson shot right handed, he could?ve gotten 3M+

I need someone to do an iso on Bertuzzi stick checks off puck.
