[Warden of the North]

Excellent

 

[Battle Lin]

finally the season starts now, that was a long preseason

 

[jrgtml67]

Lines should be

KAP MATT NY
HY JT MARNER
MAR KADRI BROWN
ENNIS GOAT LIND

I really don't think Marleau should be on that first unit. He loses a ton of battles, and gives it away.

Lines should be

KAP MATT NY

Lines will be

Marleau-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-JT-Marner
Johnsson-Kadri-Brown
Ennis-Lindholm-kappy

Kappy undeservedly down to the 4th line because babs refuses to demote his boy.

Also Johnsson over the goat all day every day

 

[ACC1224]

No way they were make his first game against Boston on Saturday.

I would have bet they would have preferred to start him on the road.

Poor Johnsson losing his spot to Goat.

It's odd they cancelled today. Maybe didn't want to show their cards of who was going to play with who?

Babs said last night Nylander was gonna practice and hopefully play, but then they didn't end up practicing today.

Finally!! Can't wait! #FreeWilly

Interested to see who Babcock puts on the LW on the Matthews-Nylander line

I'd go with Kapanen or Johnsson but I'm presuming Babcock goes with Marleau instead

Connor "gud pro" brown, he wouldn't have mentioned it if he wasn't seriously thinking about doing it

 

[slozo]

With no practice! Bold move... Almost as if both the team and Nylander wants to ensure the fans understand how much he wants to play with this team, and what a pro he has been during these negotiations by keeping himself in tip-top shape.

Hit the ground running....I kinda like it.

God just the thought of that makes me shake my head, in no way should Brown be on our top line under any circumstances besides catastrophic injuries

Is this what you want to see?

Bill Ny the Maple Leaf Guy!

 

[Deebo]

I would have bet they would have preferred to start him on the road.

If the preference was that strong, then they would have had him start on the road on Saturday.

 

[Babcocks Marner]

I think he goes on the Naz line for a few games. Hope he gets Naz going, someone has too.
Willy should get a little sheltering before being back with Matthews. Face some 3rd lines, get into rhythm and back with Matthews after 3-4 games.
Hope Kappy doesn't get the short end of this stick, because Brown deserves that short end.

that's what I thought

[Brown Dog]

So Brown is the new whipping boy, eh?

Some of these so-called Leaf "fans" make me sick.

 

[Trapper]

Babs said last night Nylander was gonna practice and hopefully play, but then they didn't end up practicing today.

It’s just Nylander playing.
Vs. Detroit by himself. Just to get him back into shape. 4-1 Leafs.
