Nah Carrick will score spurning an outrage around here
“In terms of predictability, it helps me, playing and talking to Roman,” said Carrick, who was only aboard for two practices before the season began where Polak was a Day One camper.
But will this goal be on the Leaf's net or their own?Either Polak or Carrick is guaranteed a goal.
Will be a fun game, I expect a win every night. feels good man
That's close to my son's bed time... might get to watch live tonight!8:30!?!? Damn getting close to my bed-time
if carrick/polak look better on another team, that's either an indictment of Babcock's "system", or of leaf fans'/media's objectivity.
Wouldn’t mind having brown on the fourth line and Ennis with Leivo and Kadri, to kickstart some offence there.
Fourth line can become checking line with Aj, Linhold and Brown.
That is hoping Ennis can create something similar to the preseason
Carrick's managed three secondary assists. Let's not start calling him Bobby Orr all of a sudden.
Ozhiganov will probably be in......
As much as I think it is far too soon to give up on Ozhiganov, Marincin had a pretty strong game in Chicago. I am surprised Babcock did not give him another game.
However here's hoping Ozhiganov can play well enough to earn more than 13 minutes tonight. They need to unload his cannon.

Hopefully our Leafs can start playing some better hockey as right now they've been carried by our star centres Matthews & Tavares.
He wax the best fantasy goalie last year in most leaguesThis is going to be a 10-9 game!
Never thought I'd say it, but I'm glad I don't have Freddy on my fantasy team this year.
Yeah. QoC might mean more on a per minute-basis, but you simply spend so much more time on the ice with your partner compared to the different levels of opposition. Playing 20 minutes per game with Rielly weighs more than getting 10 minutes against comparable talents on the other side.I don’t know if this is a hot take or whatever, but it’s been shows that QoT impacts players around 5 times as much as QoC does. If we went with a top pair of Reilly - Dermott I honestly do think a lot of our defensive issues would be solved. Dermott’s game would suffer a little by the increase competition, but the increase in the quality of his partner would more than compensate for it. Same goes for Rielly. By most metrics right now Dermott is a second pairing guy, but maybe playing Rielly could evalate him to top?
Lol wut.Dallas has been outplayed through their first two games but Bishop has been a rock back there.
Yea, my problem with Hainsey and Rielly is a lot of plays just end up dead due to Hainsey, because he just isn’t as talented as everyone else he plays with. There was a good article in the Athletic last week that showed him having the puck at the point with Marner to his right and Rielly to his left and a defending coming to pressure him from the slot. Instead of passing it to either Marner or Rielly, he made the safe play and just dumped it into the corner, but with Hyman and Tavares both battling in front of the net neither of them could get to it in time. He had the option of passing it, to either Marner or Rielly or shooting it and hoping for a tip from Tavares or Hyman but he just didn’t have the awareness to make either of those plays under pressure, which isn’t his fault, he’s just not that kind of player. Someone like Dermott could have done either of those two options.Yeah.

Dermott is said to be almost as good on the right side. I would most definitely have him up there over Hainsey. I would also rather go with Gardiner - Rielly as top pairing over what we do now.
"Okay Roman! who wants to blast it off the boards for an icing, me or you buddy???"
no you really don'tSadly you have to have pressure on Polak to cough the puck up like that.
