Preseason: Red Wings @ Leafs - Oct. 2nd, 7:00pm - SN1, Fan 590

[CarltonTheBear]

2nd last preseason game of the year. Expect a pretty close to full NHL line-up with this being the final home preseason game though. Roster still TBD.

I don't know how to articulate this very well, but this has kind of been a boring camp...like no real surprises.

The top 11 forwards and 6 defence were pretty much set in stone from the get go. Cowan likely getting that final line-up spot probably qualifies as a little bit of a surprise but yeah in general a quiet camp.

That's a pretty good team right there.

VS Oct 9, 2024 Opening Line Up:

Line Number

	Left Wing	Center	Right Wing
1	Max Domi	Auston Matthews	Mitch Marner
2	Matthew Knies	John Tavares	William Nylander
3	Bobby McMann	Pontus Holmberg	Nicholas Robertson
4	Max Pacioretty	David Kämpf	Connor Dewar

Basically, two lines that will not/cannot score.

I am not convinced this team is worse than last season.

2023:

Bertuzzi -Matthews - Marner
Domi - Tavares - Nylander
Knies - Minten - Jarnkrok
Gregor - Kampf - Reaves

I thought Reimer was staring tonight?

WHY NO REIMER AGAIN

PP looks fine

I know it’s preseason and Detroit (i.e. doggie doo doo), but the process is good and repeatable.

A bit of a gong show in the DZ at times, but the Leafs are quite heavy on the forecheck and puck in the OZ. Joshua, who has been a whatever thus far, appears to have ramped up to game speed.

Atta boy, Captain Morgan. Defend the goalie

Stolarz excellent in killing a 5-on-3 for a minute. Also excellent in the rest of the 4-min penalty to Carlo

After two. Stolarz? Stellar. Team? So so.

 

[herman]

So glad Cowan got his legs clear when he went into the boards on that rush attempt

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

JUNK

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

It turns out letting yourself get bodied on the shot clock the whole game isn't a good strategy.

Who knew?

 

[herman]

Would’ve been 6-1 against Reimer

 

[4EVRLEAFAN]

Well that was...
