actually having time to practise and teach those who need it will be hugely beneficial for Carlyle too.
- Big_Lightnin

he was always mentiong that with the schedule and new CBA rules regarding days of rest etc. that they barely had time to do real practices. Should see an improvement this year.

HonestHockey - Bozak
robin_steele264 - Franson

Hmmmmmm...
- Woderwick

lol

dozzer - Bohonos

I just noticed him get better as he got a bigger role.
- robin_steele264

if he played against the lucic line i promise you the result would of been far different

He's going to have a good year.
- burn

I'm rooting for him, that's for sure.

Alright, change of topic. I'm curious here. If you could pick between Komarov or Raymond for our 3rd line, who would you take? For arguments sake, you could have either for the same price.
- UsernameUnknown

Neither.

rather 3rd line of Kulemin-Bolland-McClement honestly.

Why do you hate Franson SOOOOO MUCH?

They would have won?

Raymond brings more offensively. Can put the puck in the net, I personally think he fits our team nicely. Makes up for that "loss of speed" everyone keeps talking about.

Komarov is an awesome guy, but I don't see him as anything more than a 4th line grinder.

Regular season - Komarov

Winning the cup, which means outscoring the opposition in the playoffs 16 times. Then - Raymond

Good question really
- t_leafs21

True, Raymond does have more offense in him, but as a 3rd liner, is that what you want?
Scoring has never been a problem. Keeping a lead on the other hand..
Not that Komarov is much of a remedy to that. Anyway, thanks for the input. Need to get away from the Franson stuff. Its going in circles.

The guy who makes 6.5 got obliterated often too

Boston was rough on a few teams until they hit Chicago

and obviously that was a problem for all teams, but Leafs introducing a new system is hugely important.

Long training camp and relatively spaced out schedule in Oct should equate to a good start.

There is always an asshat circumventing the rules.
But yeah, I'd take that all day. Whos centering 4c? Colbourne.

Woo.

I am practically giddy this year. Most optimism I have had in way too long. can't even wait for pre-season to start on Sunday!

They would have won?
- robin_steele264

no, gardiner and franson would of been eaten alive.. series wouldnt of made it to 7. those two are not that good at defense.. average at best.

- Dozzer

Dont hate the player, hate the game...

Just kidding Doz..

make fun of liles all you want.. but playing limited minutes, and being sat often, and not getting his usal PP time he was still on pace for a 30P season

if thats his poopty season i am 100% with that.
- Dozzer

guess someone else must have been doing better with that PP time...

i already said clearly liles lost his spot because he isnt effective physically.. and to carlyle.. thats as big a sin as you can have as a d-man

There is always an asshat circumventing the rules.

No... Colborne is.


- Big_Lightnin

(frank) me. I can never remember.

- scotch_tape

Nah Liles was getting 2nd unit PP all year when he was in the lineup. Dozzer's off on that.
