Don't ruin our perfect preseason.

Well you guys will literally be playing the Marlies. If you don't win, shame on you guys.

I have yet to see the lineup we're sending but I'm predicting it will be stronger on paper.

That won't be hard to achieve... tonight will be barely watchable...

Well I hope so. There are no Leafs in the Leafs lineup.

Good Lord, have you seen tonight's line-up?

Cut day is tomorrow. Enjoy your last night with the big club, boys.

This is how you figure out which goalie is better.

I presume the game is in Montreal?

Kinda sucks for the fans who bought tickets.

I can't figure out who the first line would be...

Agreed.

You should have to dress so many regular players in each pre-season game to avoid this.

Hey Leafers!

Where does Kap fit in at the moment? Is he locked in at 3rd line RW?

Any 2nd Line PP potential?

they'll roll 4, 4th lines and see which 4th line is the best?

Should be, but for now, he'll play LW on a line with Tavares and Marner until Hyman is back

Well they are respecting the rules... enough players that have played enough regular season games...


But it still sucks, mostly for the fans.

Disco. I may squeeze that juice in the beginning of the season.

Any shot he does well enough at LW to knock Johnsson down to 3rd?

Bare minimum,,, maybe

Kapanen is usually on the PK instead of the PP because of his speed, so I'd expect that to continue this year.

my best guess:

1st PP:

Matthews
Marner
JT
Rielly
Johnsson

2nd PP:
Spezza
Nylander
Barrie
Kerfoot
Sandin/Dermott/whoever

Holy (frank). For a decade we used to run a roster not too dissimilar to that, 82 games a season.

I think this is the battle for who sits in the press box all season...

Let's leave the politics in the other blog. Please and thank you.

Well to be fair, that was also disprespectful to the fans.

But very profitable.

Marlies vs Habs

I predict Marlies win 3 - 1.
- bixll

Ya I could see that. Marlies win and then they’ll ice almost a full roster on Wednesday and lose.

Ah, I was hopin for a 4th FWD potential slot for him on the 2nd PP, but I honestly dunno how Toronto orchestrates their power play

Thanks for the info, guys. Yeah, my motives were obviously fantasy based (I’ve drafted a fair amount of Leafs recently), but I happen to actually like Kapanen. I was happy to see him leave Pittsburgh.

As a Flyers fan, I appreciated his pop Sami a ton. I hope his kid does well.
