Lucas Neilson: Maple Leafs Training Camp and Life After Lupul Roster Battles

Battle royal!

Goes Carrick have to clear waivers to get sent down?

This question has probably been asked a million times.

Sweet, so we sit Polak or Hunwick as our 7th, let Corrado go for nothing and play Marincin 2nd pairing.

Carrick is ready to go, great steal by the Leafs.

I'm thinking the press box will have a revolving door and he'll probably sit a couple of games here and there once the season starts

Is it just me or has Michalek looked good in the World cup?
And I kinda really like Laich too

Sweet, that's 2/3 of the top line right there

Of course Lucas posts a new blog so I'll say this again - if anybody is interested in doing fantasy hockey this year, give me a PM and I'll send you the league link

As always, the players decide by their play.

exactly.

Zaitsev, Polak and Carrick on the right side. We've heard a hundred thousand times that Bablord likes his righty lefty defense pairings.

with that said Rielly and Gardiner would seem obvious locks.

it comes down to whether Corrado can outplay Carrick - and who of Marincin, Hunwick takes the other left side spot.

Long shot from my perpspective... Loov makes it as #7, Hunwick dealt. I think Corrado starts with the Marlies... or he's sent back to play first pairing minutes with the Canucks.

"Another must win series for the Jays".
How many times have the media used "must win" this season with the Jays?

But now...they are actually correct....this is pretty much a must win.
Gotta take 3 of 4.

except that..its actually not a must win...if they lose it makes it a lot harder to get into the playoffs..but not impossible.

You just did the exact same thing you're complaining about. Winning 3 of 4 isn't a MUST. There are 10 games left. They could win 5 of 10 and still squeak in depending what other teams do.

Lucas does this just to tick you off.

He told all of us that yesterday.

Lums, is it the league I'm already in?

Well no, I just finally agreed that this would be a must win.
"depending on what other teams do" is not a good strategy to have.
.500 could....COULD get in you...maybe...however, 6/7 of 10 would most likely be needed.
3 from the yanks
2 from Baltimore
1 or two from Boston.

And I wasnt complaining, merely pointing out how overused the term is.
Its ok to point out something and not be complaining.....jesus nancy.
