The people who support the local team don't have a problem with this?

It was actually a joke in reference to the large amount of Leaf fans here.

I actually don't think there's any Leaf bars here though, or at least I've never been to one.

Kind of OT: We play there next weekend to, That snuck up.

And tickets are going for 200+!

I know there's quite few Leafers out there, So I wouldn't have been surprised if some one did start a bar or a club up.


200 is steep, Especially for a matinee in Vancouver.

Yeah I'd think so too. But you can usually just go to most bars downtown at 4 and catch the game and there'll be a couple Leaf fans there. At least from my experiences. It's not like they have Canuck pre game on or anything before 7.

Leaf tickets were already expensive enough, so let's just put it on Bure retirement night!

I have a feeling he will try to do too much, just like Phaenuf's debut.

Hope I'm wrong. Lupul/Kadri/Clarkson has deadly possession potential.

For me to start

I would go

Bozak Kessel JVR
Kadri Lupul Leivo
Bolland Clarkson Raymond

When Kule comes back put him with Kadri and Lupul.

this adds a lot of depth it allows Raymond to go down and play 3rd line minutes where he should be


JVR -BOZAK - KESSEL
LUPUL - KADRI - CLARKSON
RAYMOND - BOLLAND - LEIVO

Once everyone is back, we're going to be a pretty dangerous squad.

JVR - Ballsack - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson
May-Ray - Bolland - Kuli
Broll - McClement - Orr/McLaren

Phaneuf - Gunnar
Franson - Fraser
Gardiner - Ranger
Brennan

Bernier/Reimer

Soko's Notes:
- That is 3 dangerous lines and it will expose teams weaker defensive pairings.
- As soon as Clarkson is on his wing, Kadri is going to grow 8 inches and play with an edge.
- Yes, reilly is missing. He's been great, but I'd prefer to send him down. I want him to continue to work on things (his shot is weak) and also be a go-to guy for team canada. I'd like to give Brennan a shot...if anything as a weapon on the 2nd PP unit. His shot is a bomb.
- With Kuli and Fraser back, our team defense will certainly improve.

Leivo has been good but I wouldn't mind too much if he was sent down to the Marlies playing top-line/PP once Kulemin and Clarkson are back.

I had a dream last night that Paul Ranger put the puck into his own net.

Worse than McCabe's though. It was a nice little flick of the wrist to get it over the tender's pad.

Why did we even sign Clarkson? The guy has been absolutely invisible out there so far.

With Clarkson comming back the lineup most likely looks like


JVR- Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson
Raymond - Bolland - Leivo
Bodie - Mclemment - Orr


I really like it, plus Kulemin and Mclaren are comming back in a week or so.

There is actually a chance that MClaren comes back in this game too. So, if he does he will most likely take Bodie's spot.

If mclaren doesnt come back in this one, surely he will be back against the pens on saturday night

Could've been a beautiful girl in your dream.

Nope, it was Paul Ranger.
