2014/15 Leafs Injuries Thread

I guess with all the Dion hater's here, we will see how much the team needs/does need him in the next little bit.

What I'm looking most to seeing is how Gardiner and/or Rielly respond to being given the opportunity on the 1st PP.  A move I have been hoping would have been done sooner.

Same here.  Gives an opportunity for maybe someone like Gardiner to take top pairing ES minutes too.

Or Holzer.

He does have the experience.

If they start winning games without Phaneuf in the line-up, I guess he's pretty much trade bait?

If they started winning, I would imagine the Leaf brass would view Phaneuf's return to the lineup as the equivalent to making a big trade to help for the playoff run and Nonis would then trade Gauthier and a 1st to acquire Dustin Brown.

Any news on Lupul?

Would expect him back any day now.

Siegel answers my question for tomorrow night anyway:


Jonas Siegel @jonasTSN1050
Based on practice today does not appear as though Joffrey Lupul will return from injury tomorrow in NJ.

Jonas Siegel @jonasTSN1050
Leafs new-look top power-play (minus Phaneuf): Gardiner/Kadri on points, van Riemsdyk-Bozak-Kessel up front.

Nice to see Gardiner and Kadri with prime opportunities.
 
Freer, I am not a Dion or Pylon hater, it is obvious we ask to much or him. He should be the 4 D Man on any team, he plays far to many minutes in his current placement. Can't comment on him as a C as I dont sit in the room.  Perhaps someone else would be more suited to that role.

The real fact of the matter is hockey has morphed with the new rules into a complete speed game, players are getting smaller and faster, enforcers are becoming extinct and guys who made sense in the old paradigm are not able to handle the speed and hence players speed around the P on a regular basis.  Can the P hit, you bet he can but the thing that made McCabe extinct, Schenn almost so and other flat footed D Men is the fact that they can't keep up.
The new D-Man is modeled after Rielly, Gardiner etc  If you can't keep up you won't be around long.
So if the P was to be traded for someone like RoR so be it. I won't cry in my pillow or lose any sleep. I would wish him well and thank him for his service.
 
Me (reading the news out loud): Wow, Leafs will be playing without their captain for at least a week. He's injured.

Hubby(without missing a beat): Leafs have been playing without a captain since Phaneuf got here.........

Good one Little Hockey Fan, reminds me of the joke of the fellow when asked how long he had worked for the company said; "Ever since they threatend to fire me".

Hey remember this tweet from when Lupul returned from his previous injury:

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050  Jan 31
Looks like Lupul's knee may be bothering him. Acknowledged this morning that he wasn't 100%. Testing it out during TV break.

Shocking that the injury never completely healed.
