Moore and Rosen? Is that insider information or a gut feeling?

Thanks for the enlightenment.
I've been working from 7am until just now.

This could be 2 points that get them into the playoffs later on. Make hay as they say. Expecting a tough good game.

So Is Babcock just going to be rolling Borgman and Rosen in and out of the lineup for the sake of getting them both ice time or is he being methodical about using them? Fast team like the rangers, Rosen goes in, physical heavy team like the jets, Borgman goes in?

I figure the next few games are still try-outs for Moore-Fehr and Rosen-Borgman.... May the best men win...

Babs seems to like consistency in his lineups, so I expect that 2 of these 4 will get the vast majority of the games this season...

Stoked for tonight! Missed season opener!!

The Rangers aren't going to want to start the season 0-2, so I expect a dogfight from them! Hopefully we can match their intensity and come out on top!

Go Leafs Go!!

Sure, it's possible like you say. Or, it could be (it's so early) simply giving both guys a game right away to give them a taste and feel of the NHL before he settles in and starts playing them in stretches.

I always thought Babcock's pattern was to let guys play for longer stretches as long as they're doing what they're suppose to be doing. But, it's so early in the season and s little to go on with both of these guys so far.

I'm not reading anything into Coaches decision on these 2 guys for a while - other than I think he likes them both.

Watching the intro Vegas/Stars game last night made me think about something...Last year the Leafs introduced everyone as a whole team instead of individual players. That was the first time in a while that I remember them doing that (in a while).

Do people care about the individual players being introduced or is it just a useless pre-game activity?

Staying along with this theme, my guess is they do something to recognize the new guys on Legends row.

Pretty stoked for this game though.

 

[Rude Dog]

Leafs have so many game breakers. Thinking the Leafs should win is such an odd feeling. It's been so long since I was able to feel this way almost every game. Feels good man

[mashedpotato]

There's more anticipation for this game than the WPG game; which felt almost like an extension of the preseason.

GO LEAFS GO

[Mess]

NYR look like a team in decline and likely one of last years playoff teams that fall out this year. IMO

Lets continue our winning ways with a big W tonight.

I don't mind individual introduction during home openers since I think players and coaching staff deserve a moment of spotlight.

The new arena PA announcer does a good job and much prefer him over Andy Frost who announced the players disproportionately.

[Paradoc]

We are going to win this game.

 

[Cor]

So insane. Scored against 25/30 teams last season.

Nuts

Frost>Ross

Frost had such power in his voice. He sounded excited when announcing a goal.

Ross is too calm. Not that Ross is bad, he's fine, but Frost definitely had a more unique sound

 

[RealRockNRolla]

Not going to be able to stay up and watch this one but think this should be a comfortable win given our speed and firepower. Put plenty of pucks on Lundqvist and we should reap the rewards.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Clark4Ever]

We'll be facing much better defense and goaltending tonight than in the season opener. It's going to be a battle.
