Leafs:

Hunwick-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Harrington
Marincin-Rielly

Please no more complaining about Emelin or Gilbert ever again.

I am not trying to pick on you, but all this talk about Harrington and the guy was assigned to the AHL yesterday. Lou L. said on the radio Corrado, who was picked up on waivers from Vancouver, could help them according to their scouts.

Matt Hunwick an 8yr. veteran NHL Dman (Boston, Colorado, NYR's, now Leaf's)won a Gold Medal at 2004 WJHC's, a PMD that was 3 time best Dman for Michigan Wolverines, no small feat and was voted best defensive defenceman in CCHA 2006-2007. So no he's not a bum, he's paired with Harrington whose a gamer as well, Toronto Maple Leafs(Shanahan) are building quality depth slowly just as Bergevin has in Montreal actually.:nod:

Another way to look at Hunwick is that he was a 7th round draft pick, who 2 years ago spent the year in the AHL while in the Colorado organization, played more than 55 games in a season in the NHL only once, and has played 19 fewer games in the NHL than PK who is 4 years younger.

Edit: He also was so in demand, as a FA, he signed for 1.2 Million, about half the NHL average.

Questions abound.

Since I had the misfortune of watching Hunwick skate on Avs top pairing for far too long I can safely say he's not a good hockey player, he a guy you have as a #7 if you have a good D, #6 in a pinch maybe.

Just keep slamming the guy here on HF boards and watch him come out & play like a SC MVP against the Habs tonight, like clockwork, added incentives, count on the Habs wiseacres here, to throw them out in bucketloads for opposition coaches to use!!!...:handclap::handclap::handclap::help:

Guys, seems like hockey streams is having issues and can't get my subscription going. Help a brother out, what are my options if I want to watch a replay (I'm in Singapore and can't watch live. Hs was great for that). Does center ice allow you to watch dvrd games?

I'll keep Emelin thank you ;) at least he hits like a train.

Habs should win. Excited for the season.

But man this roster right now is soft. If anything happens who do we have? Not just for the Leafs tonight as I dont expect anything from them.

Leafs are an awful team... I really don't see how we can lose this game.

No GDT yet? Crazy. Things have really changed around here.

Most important game of the season so far. Has the lineup been posted?

Im sure we'll have a good idea after the morning skate :)

But some previews of the line up were posted by John Lu from TSN yesterday.
