[edwardslane]

Lets get the Morgan Reilly hype train going~

Reilly with the overtime winner for the Leafs! 3-2!

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

edit

Good luck on the year guys, always look forward to Habs/Leafs opening the season.

 

[Damisoph]

I can't remember the last time the season started on my birthday, and Leafs/Habs to boot.

 

[jimmycarter]

Hack the bone. Hack the bone.

Go leafs go.

Lets get the Morgan Reilly hype train going~

Reilly with the overtime winner for the Leafs! 3-2!

How do people still get his name wrong?

Should be a good one, hopefully we can start off with a W because the second game will be tough playing back to back.

 

[LeafOfBread]

Had a dream last night that we won 8-1 lol, not kidding.

 

[Diatomic]

Leafs win 4-1 yeee

 

[Pi]

It would be nice to start the season by destroying the Habs but I'll just be glad with the W. The beat downs are best saved for midseason when the points mean more.

 

[Sundinisagod]

Gonna miss Grabo for this one...

Gonna miss Grabo for this one...

Grabovski vs Montreal 29GP 5G 13A 18P -1

Bozak vs Montreal just for comparison 17GP 6G 6A 12P -2

And so it begins.....

Lines in practice this morning:

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Kulemin
Raymond - Bolland - Clarkson
Ashton - McClement - Orr


relieved to see Kadri and Lupul back together. I was getting worried.

I'm guessing that Ashton and McClement will rotate in that 3rd line wing spot in Clarkson's place there.

If McLaren is placed in LTIR at some point, it looks like Troy Bodie would be the front runner to be called up, should he clear waivers

I am fine with this. He deserved it more than Broll or Leivo or some other prospect.

 

[zeke]

D-pairs in practice

Gunnar - Phaneuf
Gardiner - Ranger
Fraser - Franson
Rielly rotating in

I'm no bodie fan but I have to admit he's earned a look as an injury fill in at least.

Him or Leivo are the two who stood out, IMO.

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters 46s

Bodie's No. 40 water bottle on Leafs bench but no sign of Troy yet; he's a candidate to replace injured McLaren on roster

Lance Hornby ‏@sunhornby 52s

Liles not working out as he awaits news of noon waiver clearance. He would go down, Troy Bodie would come up if Frazer McLaren goes on IR.

More and more reporters confirming it. Looks like Bodie is likely to be on opening night roster.

randy, please put raymond on lupul-kadri line. kadri & raymond looked great in preseason together. so much more of an offensive threat with raymond on that line. not kulemin please!

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Will be interesting to see which goalie Carlyle puts in (expecting Reimer), and if Rielly starts the opener.

David Alter ‏@DavidAlter590 31s

I would actually say he was the best player on the ice in the last game... he's a better player than I thought but a worse fighter than I thought

[SH15]

So if Bodie is in to complete the 12 forwards tomorrow night, who gets scratched on D?

Gunnar-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Franson
Ranger-???

I would give the nod to Fraser here but if Rielly is scratched you might as well send him back to Junior.

 

[shaner8989]

Once again way to many plugs and no skill

Ashton
Orr
Bodie
Fraser

All over

Reilly
Leivo

Don't like this lineup at all,not nearly enough skill to win games.
