Injury Report: Trevor Moore goes to IR || Leafs recall Pierre Engvall

[DarkKnight]

He feels like one of these guys who will take advantage of this opportunity.

 

[Mess]

I thought Engvall would have been the call over Petan.

I think he will end up on the 4th line with Shore and Gauthier and told by the coach to go out there and use their size and strength to create some havoc in Ozone.

 

[Eye Test]

Been preaching engval to come up, had tima before him and Moore before him. Hope he gets an actual chance

Big fan of Engvall. I'm not sure he will be a difference maker but he skates exceptionally well and has great size. I've always thought he had NHL upside. Excited to see what he can do.

I know a number of people were pushing for Korshkov, and I wouldn't have minded that, but I am happy to see it is Engvall (I like the idea of a 4th line of Goat, Engvall and Korshkov at some point in time). Big body. Smart player. Leads the Marlies in ES points with 13 in 15 games (Korshkov has 3 in 15 games).

 

[JEI]

He should add an element that's lacking in the bottom-six. He can really motor with the puck at full speed through the neutral zone.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Would have been more excited about a Korshkov call up but Engvell has esrned this, he’s paid his dues with the marlies and he’s had a great start to the season.

 

[deletethis]

He's the fastest riser on the farm this season without a doubt. He's a taller less aggressive Kerfoot.

Kenny Agostino has been coming on of late. Have to believe he gets a shot eventually?

 

[ottomaddox]

This change = ***t in the wind

so you're saying it's an improvement

Would give him a shot over Shore at this point.

 

[Leafsman]

Was hoping for a major shake-up, something that rattles this team to the core and wakes them up.

Engvall getting called up is definitely not what I was hoping for but I am happy to hear it (except for Moore's injury of course). I've really liked Engvall's play on the Marlies the last two years.

Well deserved shot for Engvall!

I get a kick out of people saying "congrats" to Engvall, like he reads these boards.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

Now watch captain dinosaur sit him in the press box lol

 

[horner]

hope he gets in.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Now watch captain dinosaur sit him in the press box lol

Shiny toy syndrome. Yep, they're entitled to be in the lineup asap.

The guy barely has a practice in with the team and he should automatically have a spot lol

 

[Jozay]

Now watch captain dinosaur sit him in the press box lol

Nah, Spezza will get sent to the press box.

 

[sxvnert]

Good call up. Hes been on fire the last few games.

 

[Teeder Keon]

Now watch captain dinosaur sit him in the press box lol

 

[Teeder Keon]

Happy for Engvall. Show us what you got kid. Some size with decent hands...I think his skating has improved by leaps and bounds in the past 24 months also. Great opportunity to grab a job.

Will he play C or wing? I know he's played C down on the Marlies but I think they try him on the wing with Gauthier - twin towers! Brings back memories of Antropov and Ponikarovsky.

Lol when I quickly read it first I thought you said that he will be wearing the “C” lol

 

[Once]

We could use a larger winger. Engvall was invisible during the preseason but seems to have taken another step forward with the Marlies. Him and Timo are good buddies, would be cool if they played the same line.

 

[Bigmarycombo]

If the organization is as good as everyone says they are
Then the addition should be seamless after all they both play the same system.

I get a kick out of people saying "congrats" to Engvall, like he reads these boards.

Whose to say a player wouldn't read this board?

He could be thriller and eager to see others reactions.
