The return of Bolland

 

[Community]

Cmon... Really? Wouldn't let Nazem wear that number back in the day because he was a rookie, but they'll let a rental use it? C'mon...

Edit: Sounds like that was suppose to be a joke? Thought that'd be pretty ridiculous, haha

 

[Leafidelity]

Not seeing that Dreger tweet on his twitter

 

[Raging Bull]

Too many Jokinens in this game.

 

[Cor]

No Bure... so we should win this one tonight

 

[SprDaVE]

Easy game tonight boys. Easiest game of our lives for sure.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Holland wont be playing 4th Line C.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

The Leafs are going to be freaking brutal in NHL 16

Status report: Mitchell will miss his seventh straight game and his second with an upper-body injury. Mitchell was a healthy scratch for five games before being the injury but Gallant said he is day-to-day and close to returning … Bergenheim, a healthy scratch the past two games, will be a game-time decision … Maple Leafs interim coach Peter Horachek said Brandon Kozun will dress … The Maple Leafs called up center Sam Carrick from Toronto of the American Hockey League.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Should be slotting Olli in on the 1st line

 

[Gigi Elle]

The Leafs are going to be freaking brutal in NHL 16

 

[Rayzorexe]

Is it confirmed on what number Jokinen is going to wear?

Also I predict he gets at least 1 goal or an assist tonight.

 

[Nooodles]

No Bure... so we should win this one tonight

 

[Nooodles]

Is it confirmed on what number Jokinen is going to wear?

Yes. #11

 

[LeafalCrusader]

We're surrounded by Jokinen's!

 

[Banic]

At least we get to see some more of the kids. The more trades that happen, the more opportunity to showcase. I look forward to seeing Panik with more minutes, he's deserved it.

 

[skacore]

It's confirmed Holland is a scratch? That's a little odd. Glad Carrick is in though

 

[Mess]

The return of David Bolland to Toronto.

Like most ex Leafs expect him to have an impact on the outcome of this game.

 

[Cor]

It's confirmed Holland is a scratch? That's a little odd. Glad Carrick is in though

Holland is in. Carrick is out.

 

[frankthetank91]

Holland scratched? Haven't watched a full Leaf game in weeks, has he been crap?

EDIT- Carrick is scratched, those line are wrong.

 

[LeafsNation149]

1st time ill be rooting for bolland, lets go. Also promote jokinen to 1st line pl0x

 

[adam graves]

Good luck tonight boys lets go injury free.

If we forget to pack bolland and leave him in arena, my apologies. He is the worst signing since Dipietro.

Cheers!

 

[Stats01]

Holland scratched? wtf

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

So why is Kulikov suspended?
