Recalled/Assigned: Brown called up on an emergency basis.

Is this good because CB can improve the odds of winning games or losing them?

Exactly. Everyone loving that he got the chance, myself included, but if he actually produces, 3 game winning streak is possible

 

[saltming]

Babcock said that if these were playoff games he would have probably played but they won't take any chances tonight.

Thanks for the update. Cheers!

Isnt he Irish? Seems like a good way to celebrate St Patricks day for him and his family.

It's good because he's one of, if not the hardest working, player in our organization. He was our best player in the AHL last year and would have been one of our best this year had he not gotten hurt. He's our 3rd best forward prospect to me, behind Nylander and Marner.

Wow, Leivo scores three goals in a limited amount of time and this kid has never played one minute of NHL hockey and Babs declares him a sure fire long termer?

What did Leivo do, to deserve this? Must have peed in Babs dog bowl, or worse, his cornflakes.

I'd rank him 4th behind Johnson. Andreas Johnson is so underrated cause no one knows about him

Once Brown plays tonight, all of our major 2011 and 2012 draft picks (whether drafted or acquired by trade) will have suited up for the Leafs this year.

 

[Le Cobra]

Holy wow. Sad about Leo but I am so excited to finally see Brown play. Hopefully he plays the remaining 13 games.

What does Leivo have to do with this? What an odd way to look at things.

Also, Leivo has never been better than Brown.

I wouldn't be too sad about Leo. He's expected back Saturday.

 

[MJ65]

About time - good for him

Great, hope he has a great game and no one complains if we win.

 

[Kelly]

Yes! Called it! So happy, easily our best prospect after Nylander/Marner. Gonna have to make time to watch tonight now.

 

[Le Cobra]

Great video by Seer. Hope he gets to play on a PP or with one of the top lines

 

[Le Cobra]

This rebuild is in full effect! This was the best possible news besides Marner being called up lol

 

[Mess]

Looking forward to seeing him in action.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Good luck Brown. Guess I have to stay up another night

 

[The Examiner]

Lines might have changed since practice:

This is where he should be playing. Works as hard as Komarov but has more skill. Should be interesting.

 

[The Examiner]

What a silly system this is...."emergency" call ups almost every game...no wonder someone like Lou Lamoriello is able to find holes in these systems.

Considering they only have 11 forwards available, what do you expect them to do? 2 of those 11 forwards are also emergency call ups. This is why the rule was put in place. Injuries happen.

 

[saltming]

He practiced on the 2nd PP unit.

I want to see a jvr nylander brown line next year.

 

[as Pure as Evil]

by the time tonights game ends I hope to see a brown/nylander/Hyman Or sosh /kadri/brown

 

[as Pure as Evil]

we're finally going to have great one timers on the power play from right hander at that

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

I want to see a jvr nylander brown line next year.

That could def work. Both Nylander and JVR are über skilled but a bit laid back in their styles. Brown is full of energy and have a great motor and could spur them on.
