Kadri high sticks Bodie? Goon.

Kadri high sticks Bodie? Goon.

now he is injuring teammates? Ship him out of here!

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson
Raymond - McClement - Kulemin
Bodie - Smithson - Orr

Let's get Clarkson going. I've said it before, but Raymond is too selfish. He holds on to the puck too long and kills the cycle on what could be a good checking third line.

 

[Hurt]

Can we just get rid of Raymond and stick Jerry D on that line?

 

[samwitch]

Can we just get rid of Raymond and stick Jerry D on that line?

Yes please. I would definitely like to see Raymond shipped out to a team looking for more secondary scoring for some picks. We've got guys like Ashton, D'Amigo, Bodie and maybe Holland could play wing. I think those guys would actually be a much better fit for the third line. When Bolland comes back that will also add more scoring.

 

[FlareKnight]

No matter the lines I just hope they actually show up to this game. The last one was just horrible. It looked like the Panthers were on a constant PP.

 

[Suntouchable13]

How the hell did we dodge a bullet that Stamkos won't be coming back in this game?

 

[Warden of the North]

He might be. Bullet not dodged yet.

Just giving the captain a break.

Somewhere in the executive boxes, Leiweke is plotting against Kadri.

Huh? From tying up skates?

 

[Hurt]

Huh? From tying up skates?

No. Lace bite is when the tendons on the top of your feet are injured thus making it very difficult to impossible to tie up your laces due to pain.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Big game.

Please win Leafs

 

[namttebih]

No. Lace bite is when the tendons on the top of your feet are injured thus making it very difficult to impossible to tie up your laces due to pain.

Ah, thanks.

...and ouch!!!

 

[LeafsNation75]

At least Stamkos is planning his return for Saturday and not tomorrow because knowing the Leafs luck if he played chances are he might have scored 2 goals on them.

 

[Primary Assist]

No. Lace bite is when the tendons on the top of your feet are injured thus making it very difficult to impossible to tie up your laces due to pain.

It can also be a lot more serious than people make it out to be. If you don't treat it you could end up messing up those tendons really badly.

Oh and uh GO LEAFS GO

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

Ugh, just had a look at the standings and Habs are tied for points with us with a game in hand, Sens could be within 3 points of us with their game in hand and we're potentially only 2 points above the non-playoff teams atm with their game in hand.

How is this possible with the streak we've been on?

Two potentially important games coming up!!!!! Please Go Leafs Go!

I reckon the 11 wins in the previous 32 games has something to do with that..

 

[ACC1224]

Expecting a win with a much better effort here.

 

[Wami]

Confirmed definitely no Stamkos as he's not cleared to play and missing the Olympics, so there's a Win/loss situation for those of us who are Canadian / Leaf fans

He's always a threat when on the ice. 19GP against Toronto with 10G and 22P.

As a Team Canada fan, that's upsetting.

I don't care too much about the Olympic tournament so I am happy he is not playing against us.

 

[likeabosski]

If Stamkos is not going to make it to Sochi, I wonder who his last-minute call-up replacement will be for Team Canada.
