another way to view that is Komarov said if they send him down he's going back to europe - Big_Lightnin
So a player who hadn't proven/played a single game in the NHL was guaranteed a roster spot... |

ballsack was the only player that showed up last night on our first line - Leafsfan9329
Yeah but he was stripped easy at times.. I thought Kessel was alright considering it was the Bruins.. and how they play their whole game just to shut him down... missed closely on a deke to the short high side... |

Bozaks been great the last few games, even at those things you've said he wasn't. Best guy on the line last night again as well. - Leafland
Your definition of great is Bozak's past few games?

Turning into a pretty good PK guy as well, almost gets a scoring chance every game short handed, kinda nice to have. |

nope, agreement that if he didn't make team he would be released to go back to Europe rather than pay in AHL.
Started in AHL during lockout, but then they allowed him to go back to europe. Lockout ended, he came back to NHL.

Yes first one that needs to learn is Kadri.. he is brutal at it.. and it is the only thing keeping him off the top line...

Touché, he's been good though, got some goals, saved some goals, killed some penalties. |

Did Kadri even win one face-off last night? Bergeron was kicking some serious @ss on the dot. |

Yes but until McClemt came aboard it was a bottom of the table PK.. Bozak is out there for the faceoffs.. and as soon as we clear the zone.. he is on the bench.. his stick is too short for the PK.. he rarely steals pucks.. or blocks...

Carlyle benched him 12 mins into the 3rd (tieing goal). Never stepped on the ice again. - Big_Lightnin
Yup so glad we have a coach that kicks butt properly now... I love Carlyle...

I used to have different length-ed sticks... depending on the role of that shift... Ballsack needs a longer stick for the PK... |

actually ya they got away from it a bit, but he's always been solid. likely cause he was getting more than enough minutes with Kessel and Lupul, why give him 2-3 more per game.

Up until the last 2 games he wasn't doing too bad, wasn't scoring but was screening goalies and taking some good punishment. But it is nice to see RC running a tight ship |
