I know he's our second highest scoring forward, but I think it's time to end the Komarov with Kadri/JVR experiment.

I was thinking that too. Made sense to ride his hot streak for a bit but we all knew he wouldn't spend the whole season there. Unfortunately one thing about Babcock is that he loves having a grinder like that on the top line with 2 skilled guys. And he's really the only option for that. I'd like to see Boyes tried there. He was brought in to score so you should at least give him a chance on a line like that.

I'd rather see Lupul there.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'd rather see Lupul there.

I'd put Lupul there with Kadri and JVR if we get even more desperate. But Lupul's the only other guy who could run an offence by himself, so I'd prefer to keep him on another line. Of course that hasn't exactly worked out to this point.

My other reason for wanting Boyes there is so he can get the same same Kadri-bump that Winnik and Santorelli got last season.

I think Lupul has been pretty useless in the games I've watched.  I don't think he can run anything by himself.  Every game I ask myself if there's anything he's still good at...

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Well, at least Healy isn't between the benches...

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I don't know if it's lack of hockey sense or lack of skating ability, but Marincin seems to get caught trying to keep the puck in at least once a game and it leads to an odd man chance against.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I really don't get the Holland scratch, he's been arguably their best defensive forward.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

A g-g-g-g-g-g-ooaal?

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Boyes from Froese.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I think that we all know Clune would have scored 2 twice.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That's a little more like it.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

That Marincin and Polak pair is so weak. 

Reimer should have that and Mo should be better.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I think that we all know Clune would have scored 2 twice.

He'd be finishing his second major about now.

 

[Captain Canuck]

15 years between Boyes being drafted by the Leafs and scoring his first goal for them, better late than never! 

 

[bustaheims]

Boyes clearly upset about me calling him invisible.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Lou's gonna make sure that Boyes doesn't come back out after the intermission.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Holland would have stayed onside.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Lou's gonna make sure that Boyes doesn't come back out after the intermission.

It was him that called the Dallas challenge.

 

[bustaheims]

That's the right call, but wow, just barely.

I laughed out loud at this. Well done.
