Lupul may play 50 games, Gardiner will see pressbox early on if last night was any indication. And Beauchemin?

Wow your lack of faith is quite stunning. I'm afraid to talk about anything of the Leafs for fear that u hate everything about this team. So the best way to go about this is, tell me what u like about the Leafs & we can talk about that.

You speak with such certainty, you shouldn't.

We seen it for a ton of years. This isn't new not everyone makes it. We just know more about players bc of the internet and guys on here will try to tell you anyone Burke drafted is a star.

you can talk about how Bozak is a legit #1 Centre in this league....he'd lap that poop right up.

You're kidding right? The baseball swing didn't piss you off? How about falling in the offensive zone and flopping around not getting up? Believe me I watch him closely hoping to change my mind but he is terrible defensively and has a lackluster workethic at best

Gardiner is the next lidstrom, relax. No one thinks what you think and you are the only one that hates him. Carlyle probably hates him a bit, but clearly gives him the "minutes" and those minutes are not small at all now. He made some mistakes but clearly you missed his work ethic trailing back to stop an attack on that what? 3-1? 2-1? whatever the attack was.

Gardiner folks, my point production likely could surpass bozaks. Yet hes a defender and bozak plays first line center... LOGIC at its finest

I love a whole bunch of Leafs. Kessel, Bozak, Kadri, Clarkson, Kulemin, McClemment, Bolland, Orr, McLaren, Phaneuf, Gunnarsson, Fraser, hell even Franson (this past year only), Ranger, Reimer, Bernier.

Sorry man all I've ever said is that he works with Kessel. If in your feeble mind that means I said he's a legit 1c then have at it.

Gardiner had the most min last night therefore very important to the team.

Stats prove he holds Kessel back, and kessel is better without him.

He played big minutes a game before he was a healthy scratch.

Wow a fellow Bozak fan. Like the early look of Bernier last night. Like the way he handles the puck. I like everyone on your list. In my 37 years of watching the Leafs, they've never had a 2 goalie tandem on the team that I've liked This is a first for me. I like em both

PPG is what it is. No matter the sample size. And I know it's tough for you to understand that Bozak has to play with him for balance throughout the lineup.

Are you actually from Aurora?

Yupp. Looks like Carlyle is ready to give him big minutes again. And Carlyle knows best.

Carlyle also thought Gardiner played well in the playoffs. Something you disagreed with.

Dude, I never do this... It was half a game, half a preseason game none the less, and I think I'm comfortable saying I believe he'll be a better goalie than Reimer. And I'm a huge Reimer supporter.

So Carlyle holds back Kessels production for balance? Come on man. It works Kessel has had career years and been a top 10 point getter. You guys are idiots if you think he'd be much better.
