Benching Kadri for 10 minutes is both egregious and indefensible.......Carlyle_ftw

 

It actually turned out to be a great move.

Kadri looked real bad to start the game and was getting abused on draws (4 wins vs 9 loss's).

He bumped up Bolland and gave him Kadri's minutes and boom the guy pots 2 huge goals.

Hard to say who will start vs Ottawa on Saturday. Both goalies kept the Leafs in the games to steal a win.

 

I'd go back to Reimer for Saturday and Bernier for Tuesday.

[havok24]

Sounds reasonable.......let em ride!

 

What on f***ing earth does James Reimer have to do for people to give him the recognition that he deserves?

[havok24]

Interesting article on "Reimer's rebound control" posted by Cam Charron

 

http://theleafsnation.com/2013/7/15/james-reimer-and-rebounds

 

For the most part it's people's own perception that's causing them to think that he has "poor rebound control" or a "Weak glove hand".

 

Held to a standard in Los Angeles, or Colorado, or Dallas, one might think that Reimer is the next big young goaltender, and maybe even a Team Canada candidate. In Toronto, Philadelphia and Vancouver, three markets that love to eviscerate goaltenders out of boredom, Reimer is a guy worth upgrading.

 

True.

had class till 930 but was able to catch the last goal at the bar. great win for the leafs!! Love seeing kessel, lupul, bolland on the board, and bernier!!

 

Id still go with reimer on saturday though. Rielly for fraser too

 

Go leafs gooo!

[GD]

Yeah, let's get Reilly in there. Awesome win, glad if our salary cap is f***ed we might actually have ways to win anyways.

[GD]

Patrick Roy tho

Haha what's all that about?

 

Player on the Ducks tried to cheap hit MacKinnon and Roy wasn't too pleased about that.

[jays_fever]

lol didnt take Roy that long to lose his s***. Though I dont blame him, what the Ducks did was bushleague

[havok24]

The Flames are clowning on Washington lol.

 

Oh my god lol.

[havok24]

Anyone else watching Tim Thomas' Florida debut in 15 minutes?

 

I took a flyer on him in the forum hockey league. Hoping he doesn't s*** the bed on me.

[havok24]

I hope he shits the bed on you.

 

Bad start for Quick

 

s***. I might be in trouble with only two tenders. I went to pick up another goaltender on FA, but their all third strings or prospects.

[havok24]

We both have 2, so it should be even this week. God I wish is was at the draft, I guess I'll have to make do with what I have

 

You could definitely use more offensive punch. Maybe at C? Schiefele should be in the Calder mix this year and Trouba looks like a stud. I remember I didn't even like Trouba at the draft, and now he looks like Chris Chelios lol.

[havok24]

My god the Panthers' forwards are awful.

 

Every time I watch the Panthers, I feel like I'm watching pond hockey. No system whatsoever. Just wide open hockey.

[havok24]

Trouba was ranked 900 something, I picked both scheifele and trouba up off of waivers. Yeah my team is pretty weak, I have a few stars but outside of that it's pretty meh.

 

I'm talking about when he was drafted in real life back in 2012. The guy definitely has all the tools to be a legit star in this league.

[havok24]

Good job Ovechkin.

[havok24]

Scott Gomez with the first goal of the year for the Cats lol.

[havok24]

Man I feel sorry for the Flames.

[jays_fever]

Lol Flames.

[havok24]

Grabo with another assist and a shootout goal.

 

Shoot me now.

 

JVR - Grabo - Kessel

Lupul - Kadri - Kulemin/Raymond/Clarkson

 

Would be a pretty respectable top 6. Eh whatever.

Raymond/Bozak/Kulemin would also be a pretty legit 3rd line

Another injury thanks to a useless goon.

 

Fraser to the IR, expect Rielly to play for the next few games.. looks like ranger will get to play too

Sucks to see a guy injured, but Fraser isn't really good. Having Rielly in the lineup should be a boost. He might struggle at first, so I hope people temper expectations a bit.

I'm expecting to take Rielly a few games to get things going, I'm fine with that usually but with Ranger and Gardiner looking completely lost it's not the best timing.

 

Really excited to see him though

Ottawa is going to be a huge test for Rielly's first game though. Big team with relentless forecheckers. He looked solid defensively in camp, so it's interesting to see how he does Saturday night.

I'm expecting a big year from ottawa, this will be a really tough challenge for the leafs.. hopefully they will be tired from playing back to back

[havok24]

lol Ovechkin had 11 SOG today. Monster.

[havok24]

barkov!!!!

 

wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

[havok24]

Barkov!!!!

 

I'm thinking about purchasing Center Ice, is it worth it in your mind?

[havok24]

I'm using Gamecenter. My second year in a row with it, and for $99 it's well worth the price to me. I don't have TV, and I use a proxy so I have reliable streams for every game of the season.

 

Sounds good. I'll probably purchase it for next season.
