GDT: Toronto vs Pittsburgh||Oct 26 7:00 PM||CBC|

[Pi]

Bernier's first few games were clear upgrades due to the rebound control. He hasn't had that for at least a week though.

Leafs have 99 problems but a goalie isn't one of them.

Play better in front of our goalies and they will win more than they lose.

 

[definedMF]

Everyone that had a clue knew the season was going to be split close to even. Reimer has had opportunity, he got hurt in his last start and then had the flu. He'll play... especially if he keeps winning

Ya I know, but its just me ranting against those people quick to say "BERNIER is the NEXT #1 FOR LEAFS", all ignorantly spewing stuff without any basis of this supposed fact. Can't stand that, thats all.

So Bozak and Lupul are out now.

Great! We'll see Kadri with Kessel and JvR for a bit now, finally.

Kadri's time to shine!

 

[rojac]

Lower body injury -- probably a leg injury. It happened in last night's game as some have discussed on the boards here.

 

[Rare Jewel]

What happened to Bozak?

He did have an awkward collision last night, But I'm pretty sure I just heard Hendrick on the LTV pre-game just say he has a lower body injury.

 

[rojac]

Great! We'll see Kadri with Kessel and JvR for a bit now, finally.

JVR and Kessel don't need a really good centre, so why waste Kadri in that position?

 

[Babscocks]

I don't know about anyone else, but i'd like to see us outplay someone for once. Hopefully tonight

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Any team in this league can beat another team on any given night.

Would you like it more than a win? Because "outplaying" the opponent doesn't they'll win.

 

[HeroNtF]

If kadri centers first line all our offensive power is on one line, they shutout we are going to have some problems.

 

[StringsAttached]

True. Still imagine how electric that line would be! Our offence would be too concentrated and we'd probably lose but Kadri would break his slump and perhaps put forth more effort.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Who will be our centres tonight? Lololol. The only reason it hurts to lose Bozak is that somebody like Smith will have to play more minutes I am thinking you gotta put Jay Mac back at C.

Kadri had better already be putting forward his best effort. If he isn't, the Leafs should move him as soon as possible.

Noooo! I can see a little of Giroux in him tbh. Just give him time, don't move our young guns, man.

Kadri
Bolland
McClement
Smith?


I'm probably in the minority, But I'd give JVR a go in the middle.

 

[rojac]

Of course, in general, I don't think the Leafs should move their young guns (unless it's for the right price) but you were the one who implied he might not be putting forward his best effort. And if that's true, they should move his butt out of there.

 

[Pi]

Outplaying your opponent should lead to better chances which should lead to a win in most cases.

I'd rather win because we played really good instead of getting lucky.

2 points are 2 points but the success is much more sustainable if we play good.

 

[Havoc]

Well, looks like it's time to give that JVR center plan a go.

 

[Daisy Jane]

i wonder why Ashton instead of Levio - i don't really have a vested interest, but to my naked eye I found Levio's production and hustle really nice

rojac: thanks!

 

[Sonofamitch]

Big game tonight. Gotta prove we can hang with the big boys in the east. Detroit and Montreal are hot on are trail we need a big win tonight.

 

[Peasy]

Oh man, this is gunna be brutal tonight...
