You know, I'd say that's my favourite Canucks logo but they're all just awful.

He said on Friday night.

Buffalo traded all of its NHL caliber players when they were tanking. Nice to see the Leafs taking a different approach by just letting their players stay home and be 'injured'.

And they were guaranteed at least the #2 overall if they finished dead last. There is no such guarantee this year for the last place team, which really sucks considering that this 'tank at all costs' approach from the Leafs is coming this season and not last.

Leipsic got the call-up in place of injured Leivo.

Leipsic got the call-up in place of injured Leivo.

Sticking with the "anyone but Nylander" call-up plan. Hope he plays in the top-6 somewhere.

 

[Highlander]

good for him, hope he does well.

So looks like Kadri's out:

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets
Leaf line rushes:
Grabner-Holland-Komarov
Greening-Arcobello-Parenteau
Winnik-Spaling-Boyes
Clune-Froese-Leipsic

Why Greening is playing over Leipsic is beyond me. I really don't get why like all coaches do this. Call up a young player and then stick him on the 4th line with scrubs.

Jeremy Morin was also called up along with Leipsic but since Grabner's playing he won't be in.

Doesn't matter where you are on the lineup sheet...you play well, you'll get more ice-time.

Sure but it's really difficult to play well in limited minutes alongside scrubs.

 

[ZBBM]

Jyrkke!!!  Looks professorial.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

They have Leafs legend Jyrki Lumme there?

 

[L K]

What the heck.  The Vancouver player impedes the Leaf forechecker and they call icing anyway.

 

[Arn]

Leipsic out on the PP early

And good on Babcock for doing it,  why not.
