GDT: Red Wings (3-2-1) @ Maple Leafs (4-2-1) | NOW AT 7:50PM | SN1 | FINAL PRE-SEASON GAME

[The Winter Soldier]

Nylander just missing that pro finish, kid could have a bushel of goals this preseason. He's smooth though.

 

[Daisy Jane]

i would give Will 9 games. just give him a taste, show him what to do/work on, then send him to the marlies.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

ashton is just lol

 

[Cor]

nylander has been really good imo

Imagine if I didn't go 0-6-4 in GDT's last season?

 

[NikoPopp]

Its amazing how nylander sneaks around the ice..

 

[Super Mega]

Robi-Dad for Rielly and Gardiner?

 

[Territory]

Robi-Dad for Rielly and Gardiner?

lol Robi-Dad...

 

[Guy Boucher]

yup.

trending up: nylander, kozun, percy
trending down: leivo, frattin, ashton

nylander really should make this team. kid could win the calder.

Didn't Leivo leave the game with an injury? He was pretty solid when he was playing.

 

[Cor]

I won't be upset if Ashton is claimed off of waivers

 

[ToneBone03]

Ashton has got to have the most awkward stride I've ever seen...

Also, Polak has been beasting all game. Untapped offensive potential here??

 

[The Winter Soldier]

ashton is just lol

Just…?

 

[Leafidelity]

Robi-Dad for Rielly and Gardiner?

You got a laugh out of me

 

[TMLeafer]

Robi-Dad for Rielly and Gardiner?

LOL! Official nickname for him

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Nylander's skating makes me believe he is ready to be a NHL'er this year. Size is not a concern for me when you are elusive on the ice.

 

[bobbyt911]

I agree, if Nylander had a lil more finish he would have 4-5 goals this preseason

 

[SprDaVE]

Here we go. Leafs get some 5 on 3 practice.

 

[Cor]

Ew. Another penalty

 

[crump]

Nice game. Rielly is going to have a great year. Defense is much more settled with Polak and Robidas back there. Not too much extended pressure in the Leafs zone. This is the best game so far and the one that has given me a bit of hope going into the season.

 

[KPower]

yup.

[yubbers]

Missing the game and the boxscore is my only view.

Good on ya Phaneuf. Do it when it matters!

I'm not even watching, but from what I've seen and read this evening...

Polak is looking great

 

[Guy Boucher]

The biggest change is the defense being allowed to push up in the neutral zone instead of just conceding it they way they were last year to be "safe" (which basically backfired horribly).

 

[TMLeafer]

Such great vets Dion and JVR, giving some 5 on 3 PK practice.

 

[zeke]

komo-winnik is a killer pk pair.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Damn dion going for the hatty

 

[SprDaVE]

Phaneuf almost had the hat-trick. An inch away.
