Maybe because there's some concern over Sparks performance and his ability to effectively play the role of backup moving forward?

and you can tell this after one game?

This new goalie equipment standard is going to skew stats bigly.

Dubas’ fault.

Re-watched the 3 games played so far. 47 stretch pass attempts. 29 led to turnovers. 21 of those t/o’s led to sustained pressure in the Leafs’ zone. Of those 47 attempts there were no Leaf forwards on the Leafs side of the center.

how many of the stretch pass attempts were by Gardiner? and how many did he make and then head to the bench?

well here in the good ol usa we have a saying "yesterdays scores dont win todays ball games. dumb canucks.

... does that saying really end with 'dumb canucks'? You should build a wall. Get a spray tan, and a clue.

And Tervainen had 60 points last season and was a better player than skinner. You said they have no offense, and a 24 yo 60 point player disproves that point.
And saying I'm Uging? You don't like being told you're wrong do you?
- mykokes

Man. You are saying just because the Canes had a 60 point player it means their offence is good. Do you realize what you are saying? Your only point is that the Canes had two young players get 60 points...want to know who else had two young 60 point players?

The Buffalo Sabres. Dead last in goals for last year. 10 goals behind 2nd last. So enough with the “well the Canes had two 60 point players” every (frank)ing team has them it’s not a special thing.

The Canes have a bottom 10 offence. Deal with it

I like this new mykokes vs santo44 rivalry.

I prefer it over the whole UG vs the world thing personally

Matthews leads the league in goals, and points. Rielly leads defenseman in scoring.

We must turn the Leafs into a Russian vassal state in order to ensure that the Clintons can't corrupt our chances of achieving a cup victory.

Something we can agree one

A D upgrade will come...we’ve been waiting years for it.

Question for the Marliephiles here:

Any hope in hell Liljegren gets called up this year?

I think he still needs time. But a call up mid season is not out of the question.

The problem is Hainsey. He was decent for 70% of the season last year but he just can’t play high up in the lineup anymore.

Oz hasn’t worked out...I still want to see more of him though to make a decision. Holl probably plays next game and takes the reigns just because he’s a safe player

I like Ryan Pulock and Brandon Montour. If this Nylander bull poop goes the other I’d be ready to accept a trade around those guys.

The Leafs need D

i agree with non of this except for Hainsey being dog poop.

What does it mean to be "ready" anyways?

Oz is fine (frank)... just give the guy a couple games to get acquainted..

NOOO!!!! HOLL!!! NO!!!! (micheal)
