Why are we hunting Jonas Gustavsson?

MY first thought was for Brody's mothers safety.

Oooohhh, okay

Does anyone here really think that Colborne will ever be able to crack the leafs roster on a regular basis?

Given how he has played so far this year, nope.

But I will give him until the end of the year before I make up my mind for good.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

Somebody said that Kadri has a hip flexor injury. I hope it's something so minor that he just needs time off for a few days and misses at most 1 game.

 

[Animal]

was at the game today and Kadri was unreal. Love d'amigo, and waas really impressed with frattin and ranger

Depends on his willingness to accept a depth role and use his skill/size to excel at that IMO.

Nope. He's a terrible player at the AHL level. Obviously this wont change at the NHL level where it's 10x as hard.

He's always been junk.

I like all those players (Kadri pisses me off sometimes tho).

D'Amigo could be a depth player for an NHL team and I think Frattin has a serious future of him. I put him on level with Kadri.

Erie has lost 4 in a row, while mounting the most GA in the division. Despite Kadri, Ziggy and Gardiner most likely out, this is a must win. This is where depth comes into play.

Does anyone here really think that Colborne will ever be able to crack the leafs roster on a regular basis?

Nope. I went to the game on Sunday, and this guy is invisible. For someone with size and potential he does a great job of disappearing on the ice. Until he starts to figure it out and start using his size along the boards and in front of the net he's not going to be successful. It's actually pretty disappointing. If I had his potential and his size I'd be rocking guys left right and center. When I see him play it's like he's just going through the motions half the time. He's not making the NHL with how he's played, no way.

Everyone rips Kadri for his work ethic and whatever issues he's had in the past, but how about Eakins or someone getting in Colborne's grill?

1 goal in 22 games is embarrassing.

Will Kadri play next Saturday against Grand Rapids? Paul Hendricks believes he may be out until after Christmas.

Both Kadri and Gardiner I want to take their time. Playing in the AHL isn't their dream, the NHL is. Don't rush back to play in the AHL. They have shown your skill already this year and I think they can both be on the leafs when the NHL resumes.

I agree. Take the extremely cautious route with both of them.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

will be interesting to see who takes charge. I hope it's colborne with his recent slump, but It will be interesting to see guys like Abbot, And Ross making a good case for the added minutes.

 

[Kelly]

Any news on which tendy is getting the nod? I'm personally hoping for Rynnas, kinda curious if he can keep up his streak.

 

[HeroNtF]

Shows on marlies website that Rynnas should be the starting tender

 

[Raym11]

any streams?

 

[Kelly]

Ryan Hamilton scores on his first shift of the game.

Colborne with an assist.

 

[TootooTrain]

Hamilton just tied the franchise lead in goals. 1 more baby!

 

[northstarnicky]

Game on radio anywhere?

 

[Raym11]
