[ACC1224]

Apparently he will miss some time, guessing we'll know more today.

Defense is getting pretty thin as it is.
Who's up next? Time for a trade?

I hear Marancin is the next up on the depth chart ... they said this morning he will be out for "some" time.. what "some" time is , is anyone's guess.

 

[thinkblue]

Lagesson, no?

 

[GoonieFace]

Maybe a blessing, he could use the rest at some point in the season, he’s ancient

May want to get that hearing checked, Marancin is no longer in the organization.

Lagesson, no?

Still puts one of Timmins, Benoit or Lagesson in the top 4 I think.

 

[LeafGrief]

Marancin is no longer in the organization.

Careful, legend has it that if we say his name three times he'll be back. That's two.

 

[Squiffy]

Non-existent d depth being put to the test. Not good.

Didn’t see what happened to Gio, only saw third and on. Anything obvious?

Try to hold on for a couple days until you find out if Klingy is out for the whole year or not I guess? Try Timmins top 4?

 

[TMLAM34]

Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Lagesson
Benoit - Timmins

What a blueline!

Never go wrong with a Thorold boy but that's a bit of a scary proposition at the moment.

You're missing the key component, it wasn't funny.

 

[Buds17]

Having any of Timmins (still just back from injury), Lagesson or Benoit in the top four certainly doesn't seem ideal to me. Just haven't been able to get that blueline to a state of being fully healthy (or close enough to it).

 

[Gary Nylund]

Careful, legend has it that if we say his name three times he'll be back. That's two.

Who, Marancin?

Actually, it kind of was.

Our blueline isn't ideal, even if 100% healthy. I keep hearing that Dubas was ready to move a core piece, would be interesting to think of what our blue line would look like today had that happened. Now that Nylander is a rental and the rest of the big 4 have full NMC's, hard to see big improvements coming any time soon.

 

[hotpaws]

hopefully it's not to serious but the D core is weak with or without him

 

[Stephen]

Some mandatory load management might keep him fresher later in the season.

 

[notbias]

Throw Timmins into the deep end and see if he can swim for a few games... if he can't, move up Lagesson.

Benoit/Lagesson was really good though, so I'd start them together.

Rielly - Brodie
McCabe - Timmins
Benoit - Lagesson

Switch it if needed.

 

[MSZ]

Brodie 30 minutes a night confirmed.

Still not ideal, no. Having Giordano and Liljegren (and even Klingberg) available would at least keep the depth chart serviceable until reinforcements could be acquired closer to the trade deadline.

It seems plausible that Dubas would have sought to acquire Karlsson for the Leafs. It's up for debate if that would have been possible or in the club's best interests.

 

[Nineteen67]

Tell him to take 3 1/2 months off and we’ll see him in mid March.

It only has to be funny to one person to be funny... I ROTFLMAO ...

Zinggggg

 

[Budz]

Broken finger or wrist is my guess

 

[kevsh]

Any starting 6 that doesn't have Klingberg's name in it is an improvement.

But maybe Gio being out & having a depleted blue line will force the forwards to help out more defensively? Sorry, I could barely write that without laughing.

 

[GoonieFace]

Broken finger or wrist is my guess

Those bones are brittle at age 73

 

[capfit9]

Give Mikko Kokkonen a try he had a decent camp not sure of his play with the Marlies this season.

You’d have to heat up the knife to spread the peanut butter as thin as the Leafs D……
