bit of white out, and electrical tape. Turn that D into a B

Put on the electrical tape only when parked

I'd bring up Frattin and put on the first line. Leave the other two lines alone since they are beginning to find some chemistry together.

Besides Kessel can play with anyone. He does most of the puck handling for the line.

pretty sure when lupul got hurt mac went up the rest of the game and they were just playing just as good, yes small sample, im just saying mac can score goals we've seen it before! and kessel does a lot of puck control so it may work. not a bad idea about frattin tho, im willing to give it a go.

I was thinking the some thing, but with Kadri on the top line.

But then I thought of the 4th line of Orr, Brown and Steckel and almost barfed. Lot's of toughness and faceoff prowess but almost no actual hockey skill.

I agree Been impressed with our 4th line so far. Really like McClement.

Let's say his governor, managing partner and head of hockey operations gig in Phoenix wasn't exactly a resounding success.

AHL deals/waivers?
- Pecafan Fan



One deal with the Stars...... the other with the Rangers. Both involve minor league players. So yes, both the deals appear to be AHL type deals.

Yes, Ryan O'Reilly is coming home from KHL. No, he is not any closer to deal with COL. There's been no progress. None.

And show me where the 4th line to date has been a negative to the team??

You are aware what a 4th line is primarily to do right?

- faceto27


Did you watch the game last night? Did you see the shift where Mcclement Orr and Brown got caught out for too long and then took an icing call which I beleive led to a penalty which then led to a goal?

Totally agree. This guy's not some Rickard Wallin type guy. He's a player.

Probably more pressure in Phoenix as the franchise is in shambles and they need to be awesome to attract any fans.


In Toronto there's unlimited resources and the place will sellout regardless of team success.


Anywho... He's not interested.

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown
Per @randynumbers (who hockey fans should be following), Leafs did not go three straight games allowing two goals or less all last season.

Ya but wasn't that preceded by the shift from the 3rd line, then the shift by 2nd line?

Actually you can trace it all back to the opening face off.

Actually when the 4th line got caught out really long vs Crosby/Malkin the Leafs scored like 20 seconds later, not Pittsburgh
