This can't be in Quebec, I don't see a cigarette smouldering away in an ash tray

Do you give Reimer the chance to put the collapse behind him (provided they pull off a win, which is going to be tough), or do you avoid it all together by playing Bernier?

I agree that Bernier would be better vs. the Bruins, he can help limit the pressure they create with his rebound control and puck handling skills.

Yeah Bernier gives us the better chance to win vs Boston. He's able to stop play when our players need it and is better at handling the puck which would not allow Boston to do as much fore-checking as they might like.

Reimer probably wants to play that game and redeem himself, but I think playing Bernier would be the way to go.

According to capgeek, Bolland has not been placed on LTIR yet. Wonder if that is accurate, or they are just slow on making updates. If it is accurate, what benefit do the Leafs have in not placing him on LTIR right away?

Dreger "Clarkson was told when he was signed that he wasn't expected to come in and score goals. So many other things he brings"

So thats what we paid 5.25 for? Okay.

@Hope_Smoke funny how that was no excuse for Grabbo.

Yahoo Fantasy has him on the IR. I'm playing against someone who has him.

1. What are the chances that McClement will not sign with Tor, but will decide to 'explore UFA market'? McClement will easily get a 4y/3m+ deal imo.

2. Taking into consideration team rivalries, current playoff setup and GM relationships, what are the top3 potential trading partners for Toronto at this moment? (and for which players?).

3. Is Gardiner really interested in staying in Toronto, or would he prefer to play at another team (getting more chances to play top4 minutes)?

Mike... if the JVR At Center experiment works well and Kadri locks up the 2nd, where does Bozak fit?

Especially when Bolland returns.

As long as they don't put him on the 1st PP unit with Kessel and JVR like Ronnie Wilson did

Smithson kills penalties and is good on the draw... that kind of makes Bozak Steckel 3.0, doesn't it?

He fits in Kessel's locker, ready to service him after the game...

Are hotel rooms in Barfalo "WITHOUT WINDOWS" more expensive ?

Make sense right

Does Dion resgin with the team before the end of the season? And what kind of term are we expected to see

I like what you did there

and you are...?

..




obviously not the best in comprehensive reading..
- MaximusAurelius

so Kadri/Kulemin (or even JVR) doesn't suggest that Kadri or Kulemin will probably be the choice for #1c and JVR is a secondary possibility?

With Fraser coming back, Gardiner impressing Carlyle and Ranger won't come out of that line up despite poor play, and Dreger saying Rielly might be sat out, was it a smart choice in keeping Rielly?

Is Smithson playing against the Devils on Friday?

Better question: How long until the Leafs move a defenseman.
