Is Steckel injured? I didn't notice him last night.

he was recovering from the flu

Thanks

He's likely out at least another month or two. Guy just can't catch a break.

Armstrong has missed 56 of 115 games as a Leaf since being signed up since 2010.

Mike Brown skated before Leafs practice; 1st time I've seen him on the ice since the back surgery

Mike Komisarek was also on the ice skating before practice as he works on his conditioning

Nazem Kadri on the ice at Leafs practice

Totally forgot about Mike Brown.  Interesting news about Kadri.

Well, he's reliable, tweets frequently and hosts very nice BBQ every summer.

I fully expect an immediate improvement in our PK. Or else...

He's a flash in the pan.

I fully expect more confused discussion about goal scoring and penalty killing.

I am glad you do because I don't.  Until the players become more agressive on the PK, and learn how to efficiently get the puck out of their zone, there will be no improvement.

 

[Tigger]

I kind of have the opposite impression, aggressiveness has been causing their positioning some harm.

I agree getting the easy outs hasn't been so easy for them recently though, both pk and es.

There was a fair bit of sarcasm in that post directed at those who feel Dupuis is a large problem to our PK unit and that a call-up such as Boyce or Zigomanis would be more effective. I guess we'll see.

Well, he has been on the ice for 9 PK goals against, which, of course, probably is not at all related to the fact that he has the 2nd most PK ice time among forwards.

Dang.  The sarcasm meter.  I know quite a few Leaf fans who like Dupuis, but I am not sure why.  I thought you were one of those.  FWIW, Crosby has more points than Dupuis and Dupuis has played a lot more games than Crosby.  If Crosby's season has ended, he will end up with more points than Dupuis.

Yeah, not at all... probably just making sure he gets off the ice before the puck is in...

You got me. On a related note, Marc-Andre Bergeron is better than Zdeno Chara.
