Pre-Game Talk: Canes @ Leafs, Thursday Oct 26th at 7pm

Apparently JVR isn’t at practice. Hope he isn’t hurt

 

[MapleLeafs77]

Hope JVR is okay but I really hope he is traded instead

Almost perfect lineup now. I would just switch Marleau with Brown. Marleau would be better with two playmakers (bozak and marner), without being on a matchup line, able to go against the other teams third line, and focus on scoring while being defensively responsible for the line. While brown is perfect being on the shutdown line and working hard and still scoring as shown last year when he scored 20 and kadri scored 30.


And i also really like leivo and glad he is playing. I wouldnt even mind if he takes komarovs spot in the future.

Be careful what you wish for. JVR's production has been great. Josh Leivo is no JVR.

This Cane's team is built to give us fits. They'll be a pain in our Aho's for sure.

Well hopefully we can Staal them long enough to pull out the win.

 

[ACC1224]

5 goals and 9 points in 9 games. I wouldn't wish that at all.

Better get use to it, my wish will eventually come true.

hopefully we aren't slavin over a hot stove in tier end all night, or we will be hanafin a tough time

It's as if some posters can't break themselves of the habit of waiting to trade good players away for magic beans.
I hope it's nothing serious but I hope he sits a game or two just so Leivo and co. Can get some burn

 

[ToneDog]

Sounds like Leivo will get his shot and we get a taste of what Leafs without JVR looks like.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

A perfect chance to see how the team would play if we traded JVR for help on D... I really like the look of Brown - Bozak - Marner if Mitch can keep that fire under his butt like last game.

 

[SprDaVE]

pointzzz am I right?. Still hasn't picked up his lackadaisical play outside the offensive zone and still bleeding goals against

... Scoring goals is important.

 

[Trapper]

Will he or will Fehr join the Moore/Martin line?
This is a good opportunity to guage a Brown-Bozak-Marner line.
Now JVR could return tomorrow but we'll see.

 

[Walshy7]

lebrun says JVR is a game time decision

 

[Walshy7]

... Scoring goals is important.

scoring more goals than you allow is more important, something JVR struggles with

hilarious that I know that I'm not the only one that sorta is hoping for injuries just to see what some other kids can do.

Oh yea, super funny wishing someone is injured.

As long as we don't Dahlbeck on our heels, we should rip them to Pesces

 

[SprDaVE]

Better than not scoring at all? He's at a PPG... he's doing something, which is a lot more than a big portion of the league.

I don't understand why he gets flack when there could be a lot to be said about other players.

 

[ACC1224]

Agreed, can't imagine why anyone would want him injured. Can't move him if he's hurt.

He won't be PPG all year. If he could put up those points and show a pulse at the other end no one would have a problem with him.

got to really Rask questions of their goalie I think he might struggle, not sure their goalie is a statistical Darling

Leivo not directly replacing JVR on that line is certainly interesting. Wonder if Fehr going on waivers changed anything with the extra forward(s)? Leivo might be ahead of him now; Leivo in when the need is wing, Fehr only in if the need is C.

I thought Leivo was more used to LW than Brownie in the marlies and also in the pre-season early this year.....

Wait, Fehr has been called back?

 

[Walshy7]

never got sent down, just cleared waivers and they kept him

Wouldn't it make more sense to have Leivo just take JVRs place in the lineup? What's the point of shuffling the lines around? (I'm not an NHL coach so I'm actually curious)
