Pre-Game Talk: Leafs - Flyers Mon, Sept 22 7PM

[7even]

Wouldn't be surprised to see JVR/Kadri/Frattin, or Lupul/Kadri/Frattin.

Wonder if we will see Simmonds.... lol

Every time I see Frattin in our top 6, I get sad.

Rielly, Kadri, Booth, Kontiola, Frattin, Winnik, Holland, among those projected to play in Leafs preseason opener tomorrow night.

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 3m
No Nylander in tomorrow's Leafs exhibition game. Safe to say he probably plays Tuesday and Wednesday then

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 11s
Heeter (against his former team) and Gibson likely to split in goal.

NHLers in tomorrow's Leafs-Flyers preseason game: Ashton, Bodie, Booth, Frattin, Holland, Kadri, Kontiola, Winnik, Rielly, Tallinder.

Preseason games are always a toss-up. You never know what to expect.

Would you be happier if it were Clarkson or Booth lol

 

[CanadasTeam]

Sure. They're veterans at least -- experience almost always wins.

Isn't there a certain number of vets you need? Most of these guys are rookies/young guys

We'll be in tough winning with any of these guys playing in the top 6 experience or no experience .

What channel will this be on? is there a TV schedule for all the pre-season games?

thanks

Tomorrow's game is on Leafs TV and here is a link to the Maple Leafs website with their pre-season schedule and what networks are showing the games.

I know the cutoff is 100 games and I believe you need at least 6 players. It might be 4 but I dont really remember. Bodie, Booth, Kadri, Frattin, Tallinder, Mclaren, Mikkelson, Winnik are the only ones who have played 100+ I think.

Anyway i'd like to see a lineup of:

Leivo-Kadri-Frattin
Booth-Holland-Kontiola
Winnik-Mckegg-Ashton
Mclaren-Carrick-Broll

Rielly-Granberg
Tallinder-Holzer
Finn-Nilsson

Agreed.

Nylander save us plz

From Henny Blog...(sorry if already posted)

Here is the Leafs roster for tomorrow night in London. The final lineup will be known following Monday’s morning skate.

Forwards: Ashton, Biggs, Bodie, Booth, Broll, Carrick, Findlay, Frattin, Holland, Kadri, Kontiola, Kozun, Leivo, McKegg, McLaren, McMillan, Smith, Watling and Winnik

Defencemen: Finn, Granberg, Holzer, Knodel, Mikkelson, Nilsson, Percy, Rielly and Tallinder.

Goalies: Gibson, Heete


(Seems like too many for a lineup. Maybe it's just who will make the trip.)

Seems to be about the same amount of talent Kadri's used to playing with

Most of these players are on the bubble and will be Marlies, when the season starts, or traded, or released.

Does center ice provide preseason as well?

Centre Ice is free on Bell Oct 8-14 but aren't all games available without paying bell etc more $
I already have all the channels mentioned in the new deal.

Interesting selection of players, all competing for the same relative few positions on the team.

Let the battle for the bottom 6 begin.

Let the battle for the bottom 6 begin.

this is going to be a good preseason

can't wait

 

[wingman75]

I noticed this game does not show in the Centre Ice schedule on Bell Sat. Tomorrows does, normally Leafs TV broadcasts were on CI. Will check it out at 7 I guess.

Preseason should be interesting this year with at least 5 spots up for grabs... to hopefully the player that deserves it the most; but I guess that is even subjective isn't it.

My body is ready.

Feel sorry for those in London. Pre season is bad enough but that is one ugly collection of players.

The goaltending is even worst. Heeter AND Gibson, the worst 2 goaltenders in camp I think. Couldn't they have at least played Sparks (played for Guelph) or even Bibeau?

But with that said, pre-season can make some players play out of their minds. A lot of adrenaline for the young players, a lot of hope to make the team and all that jazz.

I'd say this should be a fun game to watch, win or lose.

Do we know the lineup of the Flyers?

They have another game in Philly tonight. I'm guessing they send a lineup similar to ours to London
