Injury Report: Mikheyev out minimum 3 months

[therealkoho]

Progress. Not taking hard shots or even using normal pucks yet but still a good sign. Maybe he's ready by playoffs...

although I can't say for sure I would think he's using the weighted orange puck, the way it came out of the net doesn't say hollow plastic to me

Yep, agreed 100% - if it was hollow, it would hit the back and drop straight down, maybe roll on an edge a bit. It wouldn't come sliding back out like that....too much friction.

exactly, the netting eats up the floor hockey puck

Don't know if they're still around but when the orange hockey balls first came out , yes in the way back times lol , they were often packaged with a street hockey puck , it was bright orange ,solid hard plastic but light weight and they would react a lot like what he is shooting . just good to see he's got both hands on the stick without any obvious signs of it being taped to his gloves .

I hope they didn't just Souperimpose that picture of him on the ice to get us excited

Haha nice

We need him back if we make the playoffs. His size and speed are much needed. Malgin is a nice depth, but the bigger, more skilled Mikheyev is a better fit.

We are definitely missing his speed and length combination. His huge reach was giving opposition fits. Him and Holl both have that going for them, they cover so much ice.

We have missed him dearly.

You can plug him in any of the top 3 lines and he would fit.

And he made smart simple plays consistently.

Does he know Campbell's doesn't make Borscht?

Chief Soup Officer.........nice!

 

[JT AM da real deal]

The recruiting for next year has started already. I love da way da Leafs do it. Get a MLSE corporate sponsor to swing a nice sponsor deal. I'd love to see the conditions on appearances/ads required at head office in Toronto. Behind the scenes stuff which Leafs do so well and rest of league is ticked off with. Brilliant move.

You don't think Scotiabank is really paying all that money to MLSE for the sign on the arena. 40m*20 years.

Scotia puts Matthews in a banking commercial and they knock off 10m on that deal.

Sweet deal for all parties.

 

[Welsh Maple Leaf]

Can he play hockey soon?

They have to do it through MLSE because it shelters the $$$ from the hockey and basketball CAP calculations. I am a small arena sponsor too. I can tell you though the league and players are not happy. But MLSE have a bevey of lawyers and accountants to make sure everything by the book.

Too bad they didn’t do that with the Big 3.
On the top of sponsor, is LV a sponsor for the Leafs bc I noticed all the players have LV bags.

Should we expect to have him back for the first round (if we make the playoffs)?
