SAndin and Robertson. Damn Dubas is a genius.

Is he signed and eligible to play?

Not sure if he'd be a better option than your other players from the get go though. Kid is still pretty young.

he is signed and eligible to play :D

I think the only way he gets a long look during playoffs is someone opts out. I don't think there's a place in the lineup for him when compared to players with NHL experience.

This could very well be a move by Dubas to just get him around the team during playoff time, provide him with a learneding experience.

I'm a little bit out of practice but here goes nothing...

Hyman-Tavares-Nylander
Mikheyev-Mathtews-Marner
Johnsson-kerfoot-kapanen
Engvall-Spezza-Clifford

Hard to see where Robertson fits in realistically

So people slam Americans, their President and the USA all day long in the blogs here, but I can't call out China, communists, defend the USA, Americans or POTUS without being called alt right...

Is this the upside down?
- kaptaan

Ya fack potus and the rest of his traitor coward crew anf any who defend them.
Also, you dont need to say the word "China" in front of ccp.

Why...what did they do in the nhl?

So he can play because..... he signed his contract before they stopped play?

That would explain why he could and Romanov can't.

Absolutely nothing but let's blow every other team's prospects.

Yeah. If people would be held to the same standard regarding the USA, and their comments about Americans, I would accept your point. But seems this commentary about USA and Americans is ok, but anything calling out China is verboten...

Ah honey, is your sweetie traitor trump being made fun of?
Are your fellow stupid redneck racist in the states being dumped on for being stupid redneck racist.

Robertson signed his ELC before the season started if i'm not mistaken

Absolutely nothing but let's blow every other team's prospects.
- RogerRoeper

I thought Sandin had a few games unless I'm mistaken, from what I recall he acquitted himself well...

so they picked a 1 hotel with 1400 rooms for all teams?

24 teams x 30 players = 720
coaches, support staff = additional 280 ?
300+ for the hotel staff.
then some press and other NHL staff.

Seems that the whole hotel needs to be fully booked in order to facilitate all to be in the same place for the whole playoffs. (family come in for final 2 rounds when 20 teams have left the hotel).

i am assuming as well that nobody is sharing rooms - to limit potential transmission.

They’re using two hotels

Hope they placed them on Park place and Boardwalk.

Absolutely nothing but let's blow every other team's prospects.
- RogerRoeper

Nope.
Dont need to blow any, you can continue to blow the leafs ones and continue to whine any time someone mentions something positive about other teams prospects and not always the leafs ones.

Those two look great, but have yet to prove anything where it counts long term in the nhl. Hopefully in time this changes in the leafs favour.

Johnsson not ready till later rounds. Robertson has to beat out Petan and Malgin. Is he worse defensively than those guys? I dunno. Does he help make PP2 something actually useful? I think he’s got a shot. Depends on his camp.

Hope they placed them on Park place and Boardwalk.
- Scabeh

Those are the safest places, from my experience almost no ones lands on them.

Well they cannot pass Go and collect $200 BECAUSE THEY’RE IN CAP HELL

I misunderstood your post then.

It would be a really bad idea to have other guests in the same hotel.
However - I just checked and early September rooms are available..
That's bad.

Hard to overstate the importance of team chemistry when these guys are going to be forced to live together for months. Are the Leafs a douche free team? JT will earn his captaincy during these playoffs.
- Canada Cup

Good call on the isolation and how team chemistry might be a big factor.

JT comes across as professional, soft-spoken, and hard-working. I wonder if he'll be able to summon his inner Mark Messier when the going gets tough?

Or will his inner snake-iness constrict the team's chances?!

Yeah. If people would be held to the same standard regarding the USA, and their comments about Americans, I would accept your point. But seems this commentary about USA and Americans is ok, but anything calling out China is verboten...

Ohhh, because some people poop on the Americans response to said pandemic, it awards you the right to flaunt one of Trumps divisive talking points, unprovoked, as a replacement term for what it actually is.

I award you 5 stars for disregarding the idea that he started throwing that line out with the intention it be a distraction from his administrations pathetic response to the pandemic and its disastrous consequences.

You could have made this way shorter by leading with the real world translation of "China virus", which is "I'm a (frank)ing lemming". I would have patted you on your special little head and said goooood and then we could have just gone on with our days.

So goddamn true.

Karl Alzner decided to opt out Garnie.

What's the point of even playing now?
- Scabeh

None, none at all.

Shut it down.

Domi probably will too.

RIP kelly preston

None, none at all.

- Garnie

Yeah, every reports has him wanting to play but the team/NHL being against it.

Too bad, I'm sure he'd want to redeem himself after a very "ok" performance this season compared to the last.

Funny how no coronavirus was named a CCO virus until Trump (frank)ed up resulting in more Americans dead than necessary and also resulting in the need for a scapegoat. These morons are just behind the times and haven’t gotten the memo that the new bad guy is Dr. Fauci for contradicting the brilliant man in orange.
- Canada Cup

My favourite part is when he shows up in a month to whine about being banned.

Redskins are no more

i don't appreciate commentary denigrating the USA or commentary insulting people who put America first. I think the Trump administration has done a great job. Individual States not so great.
