I hope you meant McLaren. McClement will never sit out.

I dont know who would be out
That is why I am asking

I can get behind that for the moment. Gives Kadri someoen who can really dig for the puck in Kulemin and the skill that Lupul brings to the table. Should also be good for Grabo. Both Frattin and MacArthur can get some production.

And a more productive fourth line.

mccarthur will have be the playmaker to set up frattin
while grabovski does his lone ranger crap

 

[iArts]

Is Lupul back tomorrow?

 

[LeafOfBread]

I think it'll be McLaren. Komarov is a useful agitator and a hitting machine as well as PK specialist, and imo Orr stays in due to veteran preference and being arguably the best heavyweight right now. Honestly though, I think McLaren is a more useful player, his skating separates him from Orr.

 

[Pedagogue]

7. Toronto GP 28 Points 31
8. Winnipeg GP 27 Points 30

All that needs to be said.

Agreed, the most important game of the season thus far. If we lose, God help us!

I'm really excited to see how these new lines turn out. I hope Kadri and Lupul can help Kulemin get his scoring touch again. Sure will help not playing alongside Grabo.

That sounds good to me
Thanks allot for this info.

p.s. thanks for putting up with my posting in here

 

[Leafidelity]

This is the best forward lineup we've iced in a decade.

 

[JackJ]

Should be:

JVR Kadri Kessel
Lupul Grabo Frattin
Kulemin Bozak McClement
MacArthur Komarov McLaren/Orr

 

[Crispy Crust]

This is the best forward lineup we've iced in a decade.

lol damn.

 

[NazemKadri43]

Kulemin is like a tumor that sucks the offence out of w/e line he is on

 

[gustavsson50]

So is it reimer or scrivens tomm?

 

[Warden of the North]

This is the best forward lineup we've iced in a decade.

Close, but the '04 playoff roster was pretty stacked

Sundin
Roberts
Mogilny
Nolan
Renberg
Reichel
Tucker
Domi
Francis
Kilger
Antropov
Ponikarovsky
Fitzgerald

A lot of vets, but still a formidable group.

 

[Space Coyote]

So is it reimer or scrivens tomm?

If I was Carlyle I would give Scrivens the job.

 

[BayStBullies]

I wish they would just go with:

Lupul - Kadri - Kessel
JVR - Bozak - Frattin
Mac - Grabo - Kulemin

 

[mikebel111*]

can we stop with the, oh, we will win easily
this is what we said against montreal, than jets
I can't trust this team, but we need a win now

 

[mikebel111*]

I wish they would just go with:

Lupul - Kadri - Kessel
JVR - Bozak - Frattin
Mac - Grabo - Kulemin

no need to rush kadri.
he will get top line minutes, but in due time

 

[mikebel111*]

This is the best forward lineup we've iced in a decade.

close, but not really
but anyways, all three lines can score, are defensively responsible, and has skill on them

potential to outscore other team, but our defense, needs to be atleast above average

I will be curious how pp looks like

if I were randy

id go
1st PP
JVR-bozak or kadri-kessel

2nd PP

kadri-grabo-lupul or mac or frattin

you could ice three good powerplay units with this lineup

 

[FlareKnight]

If Lupul is coming in this should be an interesting lineup. Should give them offensive threats on three lines with the fourth as competitive as its been all year.

The losing streak sucks, but hopefully they can turn it around. Hopefully an entertaining showdown in my one game in person this year.

 

[The Blue Devil]

I'm really excited to see how these new lines turn out. I hope Kadri and Lupul can help Kulemin get his scoring touch again. Sure will help not playing alongside Grabo.

Or it's just the fact that Kule does not have a scoring touch anymore. He played with Kadri last game and didn't look any better offensively.

Edit: Also kind of funny how Kadri had one of his worst games when Kule was on his line.

you must watch a different leafs team than I do.

 

[mikebel111*]

sorry I meant atleast one forward who is defensively responsible on each line

bozak on top line [though he is a bit inconsistent

grabo, to an extent mac and frattin

kulimen on third line
