Good hockey play

Lupul wouldn't be great on a checking line either.

Just trade Mac.

Keep the defensive wingers on the defensive lines, and the best offensive wingers on the offensive lines.


I'm sorry to say to his fans, but Mac is not one of our top-4 offensive wingers. Hell, you could argue Kulemin is ahead of him on the offensive charts.

all if this.

If he keeps this up - there will be - a giant one of him placed in front of the ACC.

I already have a giant erection for him.......

Yikes - they gotta pull up their Kevlar socks with this schedule. They play Boston on the back to back - does Boston play the night before?
- Your_Mom

No. Boston plays in Washington Tuesday night but they also have a back to back Saturday Sunday against Tampa and Montreal, so they'll be completing their 4th game in 6 nights as we finish our 3rd in 4.

Pegged that as a loss from the beginning of the season.

Boston plays:
Sat-Sun, Tues, THURS, Sat.

Tues game in WASH, all others home games.

more fun - Habs play 6 games in 9 days starting this Saturday. They will either look up a good playoff spot or jeapordize one in the next 2 weeks.

Really??

I'm like 90% sure that Lupul will be Kadri's left winger when he returns.

Most likely with Frattin on the right when he returns.

Then it's Caryle's choice to put Komarov on the 4th line with McClement or MacArthur. That also only leaves one spot for a punchy which will be Orr.

MacArthur knows his time is coming and he's playing that much harder cause of it. We'll take it lol

Devils and Pens don't bother me too much. Marty seems to have sub-par games vs Leafs the last few seasons. Pens though dangerous don't seem to have the defensive structure that causes Leafs touble, and they ususally do pretty good against them.

Boston and Ott play that tight defensive/constant pressure in all zones of the ice style. This is where the Leafs are challenged and have trouble, so not to optimistic about those games.
- vermie22

Ya that's the thing. Let's just call the Boston game a Loss. And Sens have our number. I see the wheels falling off for them at some point, but that game can go either way.

Pens we have success against, but can't call that a win till it's over. So wouldn't be out of the question for 3 losses there.

HAVE to beat Jersey to keep some confidence going into Ottawa game. If they can beat Sens too, golden, any more points are bonus.

tough month for Leafs ahead, and this is toughest week of the month.

Habs scare me - they play like they have something to prove...not sure their built for the playoffs though...but I guess Boston may disagree with me.

I don't see Carlyle only having 1 tough guy. Especially when it's been working for them so far. 2 of Brown, McLaren and Orr will play most games, with 1 being a scratch.

That's Carlyle's MO, and it's clearly working (or it is in his mind at least).

HAbs play Pens-Bruins back to back this weekend. then 4 more games in next 7 days.

They drop the first too, wheels could fall off in a hurry.

wouldnt be shocked to mac benched honestly

carlyle isnt going to change the roles that each line has just to fit in a guy

he isnt going to put a 3rd liner in a fourth line role.. that was wilsons shtick.. carlyle will sit him in the box if someone out plays him for his spot.

see komi and liles for example.

C'mon...who you trying to kid?
- Your_Mom

well, I am of Guyanese and Dutch descent. And the mere thought of Kadri is worth at least a few extra inches on its own

this.

carlyle isnt going to put a guy on the 4th line wing who doesnt do the job carlyle thinks a 4th line winger needs to do.
