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

[mcleex]

Hopefully if Ronaldo is playing he takes a beating in the face from McLaren

 

[Mess]

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 Center Ice on Telus is also not listing the game tonight yet.

Its in London and on Leafs TV so perhaps that is the reason. It might show up later today closer to game time. :

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

Flyers in London tonight who are confirmed: Read, Couturier, Simmonds, Del Zotto, Schultz, Rinaldo, Mason, Stolarz, Laughton, and Morin. Don't know the rest but probably only rookies.

Most likely Raffl, Grossmann and Luke Schenn too.

Over under of leafs losing by 5 goals

Stolarz will likely start for the Flyers.

I'm still pulling for Schenner, hopefully he can improve his game and find some more consistency (offensively and defensively). He always seems to show offensive creativity/potential right when you're on the verge of giving up on him offensively, haha. He's a good defensive player that just needs to improve on his consistency though.

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.)

These three were cut today .. Wonder who will replace them?

Leafs are back

No one? There are still 17 forwards and 8 defencemen in the roster.

No one. We still have to remove guys from the roster to get down to 12/6/2.

 

[BertCorbeau]

^ Ah, didn't count the players on the list

 

[PuckMagi]

8 hours....

Who is on the bottom left above Bernier, beside Kessel?

JvR?

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

jvr^^

bell doesn't have this game on center ice, hopefully they pick it up, prob have to stream it though.

 

[SprDaVE]

Players with an X not playing tonight.

Our most NHL experienced defender tonight? Mikkelson.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Really excited to see what a blueline comprised of the Leafs exciting young defense looks like .. Pairings will probably be mixed up a bit, but my stab at a starting line up would be:

Rielly - Granberg
Percy - Nilsson
Knodel - Holzer
Mikkelson

 

[BertCorbeau]

My projected starting forward lines would be:

Booth - Kadri - Frattin
Winnik - Holland - Leivo
Ashton - Kontiola - Biggs
MacLaren - McKegg - Bodie

Carrick, Findlay (who will probably rotate through the wings)

Close. Also, Findlay was cut and placed on the Marlies.

Projected Leafs lines for pre-season opener:

Booth-Kadri-Leivo
Ashton-Kontiola-Biggs
Winnik-Holland-Frattin
McLaren-Carrick-Bodie
McKegg

 

[zeke]

i think its safe to list the holland line as the 2nd line ahead of the kontiola line.

 

[SprDaVE]

Excited to see Rielly with someone like Nilsson. Percy and Granberg were the top pairing for the Marlies, playing high minutes against top lines.

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters
Projected Leafs D in London tonight:

Rielly-Nilsson
Percy-Granberg
Mikkelson-Holzer
Knodel

Again, win or lose, should be a fun game to watch. Lot's of rookies and interesting prospects playing.

 

[SprDaVE]

i think its safe to list the holland line as the 2nd line ahead of the kontiola line.

Yeah I think so too. But really, they'll likely play about the same amount of minutes, probably a minute or so more to the Holland line because they are likely to be the 2nd line PP.

yup, but i'm trying to read the coaches' minds and it might be significant that holland starts with two wingers that are near locks to make the team while kontiola is with extras. holland's good play in scrimmages might have impressed the coaches already.

Winnik-Holland-Frattin could easily be a regular line for us this year.

 

[Bullseye]

Heads-up on a steaming link tonight will be much appreciate it thanks!

Totally agree with your logic there. That could be an unreal 4th line

Lupul-Bozak-Kessel
JVR-Kadri-Santorelli
Komarov-Kontiola-Clarkson
Winnik-Holland-Frattin

That's a bottom 6 that can actually play. The 4th line would be > most 4th lines IMO

 

[Cor]

We are allowed to have 13F and 7D. Interesting

 

[Auzzie19]

Anyone making a GDT? And do we have a stream yet?
