2025-26 Toronto Maple Leafs General Discussion

Why didn’t they put Nylander back with Joshua-Roy?

Roy and Joshua are at their most valuable when they're playing well and eating a heavy dosage of defensive assignments/zone starts. I know Nylander played well there the one game but ultimately that's not a role you want him playing a lot. With that said you sure as heck don't want Domi there either I don't know what's going on.

I don't mind trying 34+88 together again though, both need to break out of their funks.

It's not a funk for 34, there's something wrong with him.
 
I think Hildeby should start Thursday.

We have 4 more games until the Christmas break:

Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday.

I think they should split these games 2:2

I agree and so did Berube. Hildeby starts tonight. And they can do that because he's played very well. If he hadn't, the Leafs would run Woll 3/4.

Great minds!

It's also just good to get Hildeby back in the net. He wasn't the problem when he got pulled in his last start but icing him out for a week just seems like a great way to mess with his confidence.
 
It's ridiculous really. I guess they need a new whipping boy like many fans. Negativity sells. Would love it if he could get back to where he was but it is what it is. How can you get mad at him for being injured?
To be fair, while the injury is the most probable cause, the team, and he himself have said he is healthy enough to play. Most fans and media people aren't as smart as the people here. If you remove injury, it just looks like he isn't trying.

I guess logic doesn't work for some lol
