We will see. Naz got PPtime last year and if that's where Bozak is going (2C) then he will still play enough to have a sniff at it...

Interesting of you putting Acrebello on the list of wingers, do you think Babcock has him that high in the lineup? And I think Matthias will be top six, don't you?
- Byfuglien Ate Me

I don't think Mathias will be top 6, considering the 27 points he had last year were a career high. Arcobello put up 9,7,16-27 with top 6 ice time in phoenix, so who knows.
Right now I'd have to guess JVR-Kadri-Lupul, Glencross-Bozak-PAP in the top 6

Here's the schedule. They need 4 starters. If Price pitches G1 of ALDS then on min 4 days rest he can go G5.

Stroman was lights out 1st game.
- BingoLady

for the first 4 innings yes. his lack of stamina showed in the 5th when he served up a salami to gardner

price could go on 3 days rest for game 4 if necessary. estrada would then be available to go on regular rest in game 5

m'eh 1 bad pitch. Was pouring rain. He was damn good.

Yeah, you may be bang on with that top 6. Where does Leo go in the bottom six though?

That line will last about 4 games..

well he gave up 4 hits in the inning, can't really blame it on 1 pitch.

Had a no-hitter before that, no?

4th line perhaps? Winnik/Mathias-Holland-Boyes would be my line 3. this team has a lot of 3rd liners that are gonna be forced into a 4th line role

- BingoLady

yup. like i said, he was lights out for the first 4 innings and then his lack of stamina showed when he gave up 4 hits in the 5th, including a 3 run HR.

- Fruitcakenipple

then put PAP on line 1 and lupul with bozak and Glencross.

he was dominating. Not worried about a meaningless homer in the rain. He got the W.

and the 2 hits before and the hit after?

cant expect stroman to go more than 5 innings or so. thats why it would be a risk to start him in a playoff game

- GardinerExpress

Yeah I can see them having Holland as 3C. There is a lot of third liners on that roster

then put PAP on line 1 and lupul with bozak and Glencross.
- GardinerExpress

JVR/Bozak/PAP will be the top line before game #5

might be a good idea. try to inflate the stats of the pendings UFA (PAP,Glencross,Boyes,Mathias,Arco, Spaling)

although wouldnt it be great if lupul had a bounce back year and the leafs found a taker

Smoak!

SMOAKED IT...

and the 2 hits before and the hit after?

- GardinerExpress

He will have enough starts by then to go 6-7 innings. They are upping his pitch count every start.

If the UFA's play well the leafs wont be sellers..They will be busy battling for a playoff spot..

JVR/Bozak/PAP will be the top line before game #5
- Fruitcakenipple

No.

playoffs baby

No.
- burn

YES..Goddamit..

playoffs baby
- the_eye

Yes

- BingoLady

I guess it entirely depends on how he plays. if he is really good why not.
if he is average, id rather see price x 2, estrada x2 and Richardey

JVR/Nylander/PAP
