blacked out here on tsn3 beacuse the leafs have some sort of complex that causes them to deny fans of other teams to watch that game instead even though the channel is paid for.

**** 'em
It's blacked out for me as well, since TSN only has local coverage now and I'm not in Winnipeg. It's on centre ice though.

You enjoy being difficult don't you. ;)

Go back a little further for deeper perspective

Rooney in 16-17 had 13 goals in 71 games.

Gibbons in 15-16 had 6 goals in 63 games. year prior in 26 games he had 3 goals.

So in the respective lead ups, Gibbons and Rooney scored at pretty similar rates. If you look at a 2 year window Rooney slightly outperformed Gibbons in terms of goal scoring. Gibbons, aside from an 11 goal in 28 games burst in 13-14 was never much of a goal scorer in the AHL.

Rooney has shown a decent touch for goal scoring in the AHL, much better then he was in college. Maybe that's due to usage, (though I assume he hasn't gotten prime ops at the AHL), or maybe he's a late bloomer.

As a 4th line guy I feel there could be something there.

Agree, unless they want to keep him as an extra? Get some spot duty here and there maybe?

But I'd rather he go play in Bing. For his sake and Bing's.

Pre emotive post for the normal few after we lose a pre season game...

Absolutely hate Coleman on 4RW...even if it is preseason and probably won't be that way again.

And Mueller there with Vatanen tells me that he's fighting for a spot with Ty Smith.

Mueller asking around, hey did you guys get your plane tickets from Switzerland to Sweden? Think there's a mix-up, they forgot mine...

The crowd in Winnipeg just oooed and aahhd when Rooney stepped on the ice for the first time. There's a buzz whenever he sees the ice
