Mark Fraser will be assessed tomorrow; Carlyle doesn't think it's serious enough to keep him out weeks; believes it'll be day-to-day

I hope he's okay and hope he recovers soon, but I still don't like him in our lineup. I find the Leafs get hemmed in their own zone too much when he plays. Leafs had no trouble in their own zone until the 3rd period tonight when Randy chose to use his patented 'defend the 3-goal 3rd period lead' strategy.

Hemmed in just when he is on? Did you see the parts of the second and ESPECIALLY the third period tonight? Fraser was injured and didnt play the whole period, yet we were still hemmed in...in what felt like the Whole period.

SO its just not him. Im not saying fraser is perfect. But the whole defense is **** in our zone tbh. No one can clear the zone. Gardiner, gunnarson and ranger all had brutal giveaways inside our zone tonight, which kept us hemmed in

I addressed the 3rd period in my post. Fraser is by far our worst defenseman this year and last playoffs from my viewing.

Hope he had a speedy recovery but I look forward to Rielly back in the line up.

 

[BayStreetBullies*]

Hope Fraser recovers asap. It'll be nice to see Rielly back though.

This is almost every game to date

 

[TMLeafer]

Hope it's nothing serious. Rielly gets back into the lineup, as he deserves to be.

He's not the best skater but I think his physicality on the back end is something we need.

 

[crazyaces**]

Can't wait for Reilly to draw back into the lineup!

 

[Canada4Gold]

Hate to see an injury but Rielly should be playing so I'm not really terribly sad about this

 

[ConnorTO]

welcome back morgan

 

[Delicious Dangles*]

I feel for him, but it's hard to be sad about an injury when it means your team is better because of it.

[GhettoHockey]

Man I dont get how leaf fans give this guy soo much hate... Ive been watching hockey for years and ill say Fraser is good for the team,,, solely on his intimidation factor i'd give him a spot in the top 6

 

[zeke]

what a blessing.

hate to wish injury on a player, but we have to save Randy from himself.

fraser out makes us a better team.

 

[Peasy]

Looks like mrore time for Rielly to play leggo my mang.

 

[veedubn1]

Leafs will miss his physicality... we're just too damn soft and don't block enough shots when he's not in the lineup.

We're going to be trapped in our zone more often than not because our forwards don't choose to backcheck hard... but there's no reason why guys can't become more physical and block a lot more shots at a minimum (shouldn't be difficult considering how many shots against we take per game).

 

[Kingstonian84*]

Nah I'd put Franson and Ranger ahead of him for sure.

 

[Rogie]

I agree with this.

 

[hullsy47]

I agree with this.

still think they are showcasing gardiner for a bigger deal ....u could just send reily back to moose jaw if he wasnt in the plans ......in the end i still think only 1 of gards or reilly will be the offensive D MAN

 

[JackJ]

fraser out makes us a much softer team.

Fixed.

 

[Atomos2]

It sucks that this is the only way to get Rielly into the lineup, but I'm damn glad he's in the lineup.
