Low Effort GDT Battle of Ontario: Toronto (away) vs. Ottawa (home), 7 p.m. EDT, (TSN 5, TSN 4)

[L'Aveuglette]

I don't think that's what people are saying. They're not asking Norris to be rushed back. They are concerned that he isn't ready to play yet and is falling behind, and they are not trusting the reports that he is "feeling good and doing well".

Exactly. Expressing concern about him being held back is not me saying we should rush him, quite the contrary. Mick just can't stand losing an argument though.

 

[DueDiligence]

So far this sounds exactly like last year lol

No it isn't

 

[StoicSensFan]

Also, i think unicorns are kick ass!

Say, have you ever seen that movie Clash of the Titans?

 

[UglyPuckling]

I hope you find the love you are looking forward to.

i thought it was Pereon ?

Joke? Dorion doesnt have a nephew in camp named..... Greig has been with Perron all training camp.

hmmm. come now Bert. We've both posted here for how long?

Only like virgins. Drop them as soon as they aren't virgins and get all butthurt.

Unicorns are just four legged incels.

That's a pretty weak D group...

Our top line tonight:

But he is not being held back. His surgery is coming up to the 6 month window , or slightly past it. He is in a contact jersey.

 

[Tuna99]

I'm surprised that anyone was not expecting this though. Seemed to me like it would always go this way. Ease him in. Green said he would play a preseason game, so if he doesn't, that's when I will start getting concerned and drawing parallels to last year.

I’m not that concerned (yet) either because I do think they want to minimize the wear and tear on his shoulder and that means delaying full game action.

He looks ready in the videos - my take is they want to delay real game action until he’s tested himself in camp and they don’t want to get into akong weird explanation about IR and insurance so when he’s ready he’ll play

I think they are referring to Kleven, but I thought he was Dorion's adopted son, not nephew.

Why is Sanderson playing with Hamonic and not Jensen?

Is DJ making the D pairings ??!?!

Yeah I really hope the plan isn’t to play Hamonic in the top 4.

 

[Golden_Jet]

Yeah I really hope the plan isn’t to play Hamonic in the top 4.

just balancing the lines a bit for tonight,

I’m not concerned on Josh yet, he hasn’t been wearing a yellow jersey this year.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I think that Sanderson and Zub is our top pair. Jensen was acquired to give Chabot a stable partner. He is supposed to be Chabot's Methot.

I think it is more that Roos is filling in for the Chabot role beside Jensen.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Exactly. Expressing concern about him being held back is not me saying we should rush him, quite the contrary. Mick just can't stand losing an argument though.

Any thoughts of him missing ANY time due to anything having to do with his shoulder is just wild baseless speculation.

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

There is no way to prove Josh Norris even has shoulders. We have only ever seen him in his hockey equipment. Typical anti-Melnyk brigade trying to shit on everything the team does.

2 hours to gO

 

[SpezDispenser]

Here's where the Leafs beat our more talented lineup and the parade route in Ottawa is canceled and re-routed to Toronto.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

Trap game tonight. Torontos lineup will be like ours on Sunday, lots of folks fighting for a spot, they will have energy

[Cosmix]

Starting to get worried about Ullmark…

Why? I don't expect the goaltender to play the early preseason games. Is the lack of a contract extension the reasons for your "worry"?
