Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Caps- new start and a big focus on playerss

[Budsfan]

Robidas sitting again?

He is either banged up, or coaches don't want him on the regular rotation.

In spite of Nonis saying, he thought this was his best signing, I think he should be dealt at the deadline.

Craig Button is an idiot...

He says Bernier hasn't been good this year.. seriously what a ****ing clown

I thought I'd never see the day. Let's hope it lasts more then a shift.

Dear God,

I do not believe my eyes.

The Panthers possession improved by roughly 4% when Horachek took over for Dineen for the last 66 games last year.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

I love me some Sammy Carrick!! Love the way this guy plays.

 

[TOG26]

Liking the lines for tonight's game. Kinda wish we would of switched Winnik and Santo though. Like the way Santo and Kadri work together.

I was afraid he'd pull a Beauchemin for us... looks like he's on track for that. Robidad isn't having an impact at all.

But yeah, I think he might be a little banged up.

Phil Kessel says he doesn't "really care" about Ron Wilson's comments.

Katie Strang @KatieStrangESPN
Horachek known to be a good communicator. Had success in IHL, UHL, spent nine seasons as Trotz' right-hand man in Nashville.

 

[yubbers]

Glad management at least tried to shake it up. The outcome was obvious if we stayed the course.

I have a new excitement for the game tonight

They're are people that do?

Look at me! Somebody please listen to me. I'm relevant again!

 

[Shimso]

Watch Kessel go on a tear. Everybody is against him. Fans and media. He's going to go on a long goalscoring streak.

Yeah, I'm thinking he's going to be playing with some added fire. I'm predicting at least 1G and 1A from him.

I still feel its criminal for Clarkson to be on the 3rd line over Panik.

That's a discussion for another day. Baby steps.

 

[paulhiggins]

Who will dish the payback to Ovi?
Kessel perhaps?
(just staying on theme)

Nobody. Bigger question is who among our regulars will be walking away injured after tonight's game and why didn't any of the players on the ice at the time do anything about it?

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

If people expect Clarkson to be off the PP, I don't think that is going to happen.

I believe Spotter is the one who is suggesting to put him there, due to their history and he is the one who is running the PP anyway.

 

[PuckMagi]

Going to the game tonight with my brother. It was a Christmas present to us from his wife. Really excited!

Spott can go as well.

I think you're right. I think Spott sold himself as a guy who has worked with Clarkson before and will be able to get value out of him.

He's going to go down on that ship unfortunately.

Amazing. Finally things are changing. oh happy days.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I love this, no more excuses for players. We will see after game 82 where this team stands and whether it was Carlyle's fault.

What happens if Leafs lose 4-1 tonight?

 

[WilliamNylander]

Takes new coach one day to demote Bozak and promote Kessel.
