A Knies goal and a leafs win will erase game 1 from my mind
Playing Knies with a player like ROR is the first good decision Keefe has made this playoffs.
Personally I would like to see Kerfoot on the other wing for speed and set up abilities but if Kerfoot and Willy can rekindle what they had in the Montreal series I’m here for it.
I hope he plays well and shows he deserves this spot. A little worried about him getting knocked around but i think hell adjust.
No, no, lean into the opponent!
Having a single winger that can start a cycle and possess the puck down low against Tampa is such a boost, and it’s something we’ve literally never had. It’s just a shame that the only guy that can do it is a rookie making his playoff debut.
Knies is going to surprise a lot of people. He’s much more ready than people would like to give him credit for. His ability alone to control the puck along the boards and make a play make him valuable.
Pairing him with Accari and O’Rielly is the chefs kiss. That line has the potential to be grueling and the ability to score. Kind of like wolves tiring out there prey before the kill.
I didn’t see him play in any of the 3 games he played in the reg season.
How’d he look?
Have big hopes for the kid. Having that big run in the NCAA should help with him jumping into the playoffs too
I like Knies being in the lineup, but I’m a little concerned it might be a limiting factor for ROR. But I’m probably overthinking it.
