Red Lights all night!

I figured Moore was a shoe in on the 4th line, but seems aaltonen is getting all the reps with Martin and brown so far. Interesting to see how that plays out

Rosen looks very good. Outstanding skating and his vision looks great as well. He's got a bomb of a shot and his passing was spot on and crisp. See how he fairs in the preseason but his first look went well IMO

You are mistaken sir, I believe those players belong to the Toronto Maple Leafs

Certainly reads like sour grapes from Lupul. As mentioned in the blog, he's had injury troubles his whole career.

Not really fair to lash out at the leafs organization.

please send all complaints to @jonassiegel

thanks

It's an odd situation and I liked Lupul when he was playing fired up. But I don't exactly feel bad for the guy. Turning to social media seems petty considering he's taking home 5 mill to stay home and play ps4 hockey. Or bang chicks.

That's some solid excel work by Jonas Siegel

I can understand him being upset if he really believes he's able to play. Players want to leave on their terms, when they think they're done. If he wanted to fight it he'd go to the PA, not social media.

I will withhold all future comments until I hear what Beatlejohn has to say.

looks like 3 4th lines. i guess those are the 8/9 guys battling for the 3 spots on the 4th line.

I hope Kapanen makes the team this year or gets traded.

but what does beatlejohn make of lupul wanting to play for the leafs and demers not wanting to play for the nucks?

I hope Kapanen makes the team this year or gets traded.
- TheMussel

He's def. ready if you ask me

i think kapanen will be up and down this year. maybe gets 30-40 nhl games filling in for injuries.

Ageeed. He was impressive yesterday when I saw him, right after Matthews and nylander. He was matched up against them for all drills.

He deserves more than that, he was great in the playoffs last season.. I can see him being up all season.. If there is a trade (Komarov/JvR)

- Tumbleweed

Has Soshnikov been cleared to play?

And Lupul isn't that old where he could get another contract.
He would want to show that he still can play.
He should of not said anything and seek and 2nd or 3rd opinion on his health.
