Talk is cheap.

He needs to perform.

True. But it is also an interview. He kind of has to talk during it.

 

[ICECOLDBEER]

The Raptors are playing tonight also But seriously not all to excited about this one.

Carrick seems like a nice guy, its too bad his talent doesn't match his conditioning. Reality is that hes just not that good.

 

[LeafChief]

Sounds like a guy that's been told he may be on the move.

 

[DarkKnight]

So maybe it wasn't Babs love for Polak, he's gone and Carrick still can't make the team. Maybe it's Carrick.

 

[Apotheosis]

No Liljegren, so I will probably be skipping tonight's game.

 

[Ratboy]

What are the chances the AHL lineup lays another egg,?

At least Mac gets the start so theres a chance but still. Not sure I'll watch tonight.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

No Liljegren, so I will probably be skipping tonight's game.

LoVerde is a much bigger part of the team going forward, so it makes more sense to showcase him

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Bernier.

Heh.

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Anyone have Detroits lineup?

 

[TMLeafer]

Carrick seems like a nice guy, its too bad his talent doesn't match his conditioning. Reality is that hes just not that good.

I bet he'll be a coach or media analyst after he's done playing.

 

[Thissiteisgarbage]

Brooks and Bracco are two to watch anyways...
Can Jooris do something to make people aware he's playing? Lol

 

[TML1967]

Bracco, Brooks, Engval and Grundstrom are all guys who have shown some good play and some not so great tendencies. Engval is my sleeper to get NHL time because of his speed and size.

Timashov and Moore have both gotten praise by Babs. Chance to finish with Babs watching on a high note, may play big into who gets called up 1st.

Borgman, Holl and Rosen may be fighting for the 7th D spot and this is their last chance to show up.

Maybe McEl and Sparks spilt the minutes and Sparks finally shows up?

Not gonna be great hockey but may tell us some things.

 

[LeafChief]

Kind of a weird move not to have Liljegren play this one but what can you do.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Would the NHL ever consider changing the definition of a "veteran" for preseason? Make it more strict, like a "veteran" is player that played x amount of games the previous regular season, and that's it. Or there is no real incentive to change? Just curious. Tonight's lineups are a joke.

 

[Antropovsky]

Might be the best spoken player of all time... doesn't have to resort to the overused cliche's but the substance is the same.

Bernier.

Heh.

30 years old... and still hasn't completely worn the "potential" label off.

 

[Mikeyg]

Kind of a weird move not to have Liljegren play this one but what can you do.

Probably didn’t want to create false hope, im sure he knows he needs another year still.

 

[Hurt]

The preseason is 2 games too long.

 

[Orfieus]

If Lilly isn't playing then I've lost any interest in the game.

Why the hell wasn't he sent down?

And why the hell is a 29yr old, who has never played a single NHL game, getting game time over Lilly?

 

[FlareKnight]

It's the last preseason game. I'm also not sure why Liljegren is even still here if he's not going to get into this game.

But yeah there isn't much point in watching this one.
