grabovski same points as malkin

grabo +4
malkin -8



love grinding it in

he's playing a run and gun system, just waiting for he wheels to fall off in Washington

( Let us hope anyways, would love to rub Grabo in your face - not because it's you, but just to help Leafs to make the playoffs )

kessel bozak jvr
lupul kadri clarkson
kulemin holland mason
mclement with a combination of Smithson, orr, mclaren


I like Smithson for the penalty kill and faceoffs. Its not like our 4th line gets any minutes anyway....

- jribout

^ Why Smith, Ashton or Bodie, you got Mclement as the 4th C, no need for Smithson(sure he can win draws, but not from the wing)

Likely Ashton in and out with Orr and F mac

Not many said Grabo was terrible... most said he just didnt fit in with Carlyle's system.....

morelike, randy doesnt fit in with our style.

sorry but 6 shots a period just isnt going to cut it in the long run.

they'll keep smithson over smith

the reason they didnt before was because he wasnt officially signed.

smithson is far more suited for the 4C role under Carlyle.. give the marlies their captain back

they've been getting more shots through from the point.. (saturday at least)

if they can keep that up they'll maintain offensive pressure more. glad carlyle worked with them on that last week.

i dont hate carlyle.. but i dont think he's perfect by any stretch

he's a puck hog - couldn't seem to get the puck to Kessel.

too good to play 2nd or 3rd line.

let's look to the future

Mcclement can play wing and it doesnt hurt having 2 guys on the ice at once to win important draws....... If bozak gets back to form, Holland is any good and Mcclement and Smithson are taking draws it might become a team strength

this is by far the most pathetic mis-truth about a player in a long long time.

Grabo over his career has 4 assists to every 3 goals.

11A off of shots he hoped would go in but were off the net to a linemate and were then determined to be passes.
