Got Phaneuf kicked out of the game though.
- Two_For_Truth

It was over .....that's the only reason the refs thru the 10's at them. I like Brown though ....let him, McLaren and Orr rotate on the 4th line around McLement.

I think Mac goes ....not because of Brown ...but because when Lupul comes back (assuming they're healthy) they have Lupul, Kessel, JVR, Kulemin, Frattin, Komarov and Mac looking for minutes on those top 3 lines.

Mac's contract likely means he's the odd man out. Or we all cross our fingers and hope they can turn some of this "depth" into a top line centre.

McClement plays on 2nd line now with Grabo at center...
- Big_Lightnin

komarov is with grabo and kuli now

mcclement back on the fourth line for a couple games now i believe

Maybe Phaneuf doesn't fall for it in a close game???
- Fruitcakenipple

Maybe he does. He's not all that smart remember?

We finally have depth at all positions.

Why the rush to trade all these guys? It's a good situation to be in.
- Leeman4Gilmour

Yes, call him Bobby.



Rats sometimes play 10 to 15 minutes a night. How often does Colton "Bobby" Orr play that much?
- Two_For_Truth

Are you new?

You seem to be under the impression that enforcers have to match, minute for minute, the ice time of the other team's pest to be effective.

Wrong. Again.

Le sigh.

I think a tweaked groin?
- Feeling Glucky?

looked like hip to me... Groin he would have been able to get up unless it was a tear.

No, that's Komarov. McClement was 4th line C tonight.

wooooo llleeeeeeeaaaafffssssssssssssssssssssssssss

no need to worry

carlyle isnt about to usurp one of his alternates to get a 4th liner some ice time
- Dozzer

Agreed....

...sometimes I get so worked up on here...then I realize I'm on hockeybuzz...

Well - you must be happy.
- Atomic Wedgie

Elated.

Brown can take faceoffs, from what I recall. McClement taking faceoffs for the 3rd line, and Kadri playing center from there sounds pretty good.
- Feeling Glucky?

McClement can stay on the wing until Kadri gets tossed from the dot.

That's Komarov.

Kadri = not a bust?
- OBGYN Kenobi

Most creative player on the ice tonight.

Yeah, that includes Giroux.

Go ahead and make that your location.

- Two_For_Truth

So you'd take one of your better draw men off the dot?

yup

- Atomic Wedgie

Giroux had a rough night..Seemed like every time he moved he got hit...

Phuq off, Orr scores goals and has Kadri-like hands now.

Also, this argument is horsepoop. That rat player won't be taking liberties with Orr et al who said rat is clearly afraid of.

Brown? Big deal. Rat isn't fearing him at all.

Anyway, I'll watch you argue your incorrect point for the next 7 pages and lolz along with everyone else.

Case in point, the Leafs played a team that's usually pretty scrappy tonight and instead, Philly acted like a very well behaved kids table at a wedding. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they saw the highlights from Saturday and decided they didn't want any of that to start off their road trip.

On a sort of related note, Orr's attempt to kill Plekanec might have accomplished something odd that he hadn't intended or considered. Guys like Colton are expected to show up for their 2 minutes a game, fight the other team's tough guy, and call it a night. Skating full speed down center ice towards a skill player with bad intentions is kind of a weird thing for an "enforcer" to do. He's probably got a few teams wondering.

Phaneuf pretty much made Giroux invisible. Funny how he's been doing that this year...

Elated.

No loud cheering.

Your mom has the early shift at Walmart tomorrow morning.

That's Komarov.

tonight... McClement played with Grabo 4 or 5 games in a row

Agreed....

- Pen15

brown wont draw back in until carlyle decides to mix up the 4th line

i'd bet on it.

and lupul is still 4 and half weeks away.. no need to even consider him yet.. there will be other injuries along the way

Absolutely. I agree with you.

Double post.

Go Leafs go.

- Big_Lightnin

Not for the past two games that we've blown out teams. I'm pretty sure McClement will stay on the 4th and Komarov on the 2nd for the time being.
