Go leafs Go. Reimer with the win

 

[Highlander]

Every time I mention valium the team wins. Very strange, so extra valium tonight.

 

[Boston Leaf]

injuries cant be excuse tonight..they are missing top 4 D. but the 5 games in 7 day card i am sure will be played..Hopefuly Reimer has his confidence and plays well in front of family and friends

 

[Redleaf]

Ok. My optimism is wavering.

I'm predicting a loss tonight on the 2nd half of a back to back road game.

Shanahan's trigger finger is getting itchy....

 

[Joe S.]

4-1 loss. Book it.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

4-1 loss. Book it.

I've booked it, per your recommendations.

 

[Joe S.]

Good. We'll share the profits.

 

[Chev-boyar-sky]

Those 2nd and 3rd lines.......Barf.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Those 2nd and 3rd lines.......Barf.

I should say too that last night Winnik's line played much more than Smith's, so those two should probably be flipped.

 

[Andy007]

Komarov Santorelli  Kessel
JVR        Bozak          Panik
Winnik    McKegg    Ashton
Booth    Smith      Clarkson

Play 4th line more than avg of 3 minutes. Don't let Bozak exceed 20. Clarkson should be capped at 10+ and shouldn't be allowed to even watch a PP from the bench, let alone play on one. Let Gardiner and Reilly skate.

 

[LittleHockeyFan]

is it bad that I have more favourite players on Winnipeg now than I do Toronto?

Go Little! Go Scheifele!  um...shutting up now

 

[Stickytape]

I have very little hope that they'll pull this off, so they probably will.

 

[L K]

Good thing we signed that Robidas guy to a 3-year contract.  I would hate to think where we would be without him.

 

[2badknees]

Lol, a nice little critique of Kessel's "effort" last night by Hrudey and the hipster.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Kypreos and Hrudey don't respect players who don't fight then? Poking holes in pro-fighting arguments is so easy.

I don't think you can make that leap from their convo.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't think you can make that leap from their convo.

They said that they respect a player when he drops the gloves. Did they not respect him before he dropped them? Do they respect that player more than somebody who didn't fight?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Lines in warm-up, per Paul Hendrick:

Komarov-Bozak-Kessel
JVR-Smith-Santorelli
Panik-McKegg-Clarkson
Booth-Winnik-Ashton

Likely just Randy being Randy in the warm-ups though and things will change when it starts.

I took it as a discussion of an example of how respect can be earned. I certainly don't think they meant people to extrapolate that as the only way.
