Frattin is too good for the 4th line.

He'll play top 3 lines or AHL.

 

[dballislife2]

who does frattin kick out?
kadri has been pretty much a PPG scorer in the ahl for 3 straight years now, u mind as well trade him now if ur not gonna play him, how can u send him back to the A

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

How can the team justify keeping Matthew Lombardi over Nazem Kadri. The guy is the definition of a plug.

 

[mikebel111*]

if kadri doesn't make the team, im not watching that saturday game
im not watching anything till he gets called up
playing plugs like lambo, cons, is just horrible
we always ruin prospects, I wouldn't be surprised if kadri is not able to put up points in A any more, his confidence might be out the window
though based on his interview, he has matured, and is ready for anything, carlyle even said he will play best players in camp, so he has been one of the better players, still he might be sent down
what else do they want to him to do?
cut done giveaways, done
improve in every call up, done
mature, done
dominate the A, done
hopefully he still makes the team

this team doesn't know how to develop players, but they do know how to ruin them
I get it, he had turnover issues, good those are finished, strength has improved alot
why does frattin be on the team, and not kadri
if frattin doesn't score again this time around, if he makes team, and not kadri
I will be fed up with this team

I agree 100%. I can't believe people in here are defending him not being ready to crack the roster.

Lupul - bozak - Kessel
Mac - grabo - kulemin
Jvr - kadri - Frattin
Komarov - mclement - connolly/brown

I'm sick of the plugs. Stop giving those ****s roster spots. I'm talking about Lambo, Steckel, Connolly,

 

[zeke]

do you understand how funny that sounds?

 

[leafsfuture]

I agree 100%. I can't believe people in here are defending him not being ready to crack the roster.

My issue right now is that if you watch him in the AHL, the stats may be the same as 2 years ago, but his maturity level and IQ without the pucks is miles better.

The last few games he played he was creating offence, while making very few mistakes, and the thing I have noticed is that he is content with letting the game flow around him, rather than him having to be the center of the offence.

No doubt in my mind he has been better in the AHL than Frattin, he has earned his shot. Will he get it.... maybe not

Jake Gardiner is flying on the ice, skating with skating coach prior to practice. Will be interesting to see if he stays on for practice.

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets

Appears as if the leafs might have an intra-squad scrimmage this morning. #leafs

David Alter ‏@DavidAlter590

Check that, it's a blue vs white scrimmage with #marlies and #leafs mixed together.

Finally.

 

[samwitch]

Finally.

Awesome! Hopefully they will actually show the ice while they are talking.

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets

Dallas eakins to coach team white. Randy carlyle is in the stands watching. Game on. #leafs

 

[shaner8989]

Gardiners addition would be massive.

Phaneuf - Gunner
Gardiner - Komi
Liles - Franson
Reilly (for 5 games)

 

[SprDaVE]

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets

Eakins moves over to coach team blue while scott gordon coaches team white. #leafs

1st Leafs scrimmage of camp today w/ Dallas Eakins' blue team v Scott Gordon's white team; Phaneuf paired w/ Rielly on 1st shift

 

[mikebel111*]

kadri has done well in camp, but this could be a make or break day for him
kadri needs to show his elite skill in this scrimmage
I do believe kadri will make the team, I know, based on my last post, I was a bit fed up!
but that will only be, if he can't make the team, because of plugs
lets go nazem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

imagine that d pairing, if it is used on opening night, I am getting excited

 

[KingBuzzo]

Is the stream working for anybody? It's just been trying to load for me for about 10 minutes now. Anywhere else doing a stream but the Leaf site?

 

[Gryph]

is there anyway to watch this online ? Tried leafs.com but that doesnt start till 11

Mark Masters‏@markhmasters

JVR (bruised foot) not taking part in Leafs scrimmage, but Colton Orr (dislocated finger) is

interesting, it might be worse than we thought

I don't think it means much.

A bruised foot can hurt in the short-term. It can be a pain to skate with that.

Unless the bruise is immensely huge, it should be fine in 4 days for the first game.

I'll be shocked if he isn't in the lineup because of the foot.
