Pre-Game Talk: First Battle of (Crippled) Ontario of 2013 - Sens @ Leafs - Dave Keon returns to ACC

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

A few notes:

David Alter ‏@DavidAlter590

Carl Gunnarsson is skating with the Leafs today.

#leafs change some lines, JVR-Bozak-Kessel, McClement-Grabovski-Kulemin, MacArthur-Kadri-Komarov, Orr-Steckel-McLaren-Brown.

Gunnarsson looks good today, McClement has replaced MacArthur on troubled second line.

Senators are missing: Karlsson, Spezza, Cowan
Leafs are missing: Reimer, Lupul, Frattin, maybe Gunnarsson as well.

Leafs Mike Brown is off IR and is good to go vs Sens. Gardiner is also ready to be called up from Marlies, but no plan yet to do so.

7:49 AM - 15 Feb 13

Keon?

 

[p.l.f.]

orr brown mclaren LOL

 

[Pi]

Keon?

50 year anniversary of the dynasty team I think...

 

[I am Canadian]

Kessel - Kadri - Kulemin
JVR - Bozak - Macarthur
Mclement - Grabo - Komorov

Whatever 4th line..

Thoughts?

 

[SprDaVE]

I hope Gunnarsson is ready to go. I'm not sure who'll sit for him but I think he'd be a major upgrade over Kostka.

 

[paulster2626]

Keon is really coming back?

This could exorcise some demons, no? Cup2013!

 

[birddog*]

orr brown mclaren LOL

Yep, um, nope.

 

[Schenn]

Interesting 4th line. All 4 of them going to beat on Sens?

To bad Carkner still wasn't with them.

Well...this will be your first game without Karlsson.

We've been missing Lupul for about 11-12 games, Gardiner (although he could be called up, but no point in rushing him just yet), Frattin (1st game without him in Carolina), Reimer, and Gunnarsson.

This game is going to come down to goaltending and defense.

Anderson >>>> Scrivens.
Our D is better (but on paper I'd say it's about the same).

Scrivens is a very up and down goalie, prone to giving up softies. So he's pretty much a regular back up.

...same emo could be said about the Leafs.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Gotta win this one.

If Gunnar is good to go, I think he and Komo should be back in.

I see what these Sens fans are trying to do:

If they lose, pull out the injury card while totally forgetting that the Leafs have been badly injured too.

If they win, "AHAHAHA our AHL team beat the Leafs," while forgetting that the Leafs have been badly injured too.

I lolled

I like Mac a lot better with Kadri then McClement. Grabo's line is already the shutdown line, might as well put McClement with him.

 

[EDDIE20*]

The Leafs will have to play the same style they played in Montreal and Philly.

 

[Asif16*]

Orr-Brown-Mclaren line? Haha wow. That would be scary for opppsitions. Even though i doubt all three of them plays together.

 

[EDDIE20*]

What was the line with Orr and McLaren the other night against Philly? That one seemed to work well.

The 4th line.

Cheer this man!

 

[the squared circle]

Didnt they just recognize the team a couple years ago? Keon was already back once. Talk about holding a grudge. Old school.

 

[DD03]

Perfect team to face during our injury slump.

 

[Damisoph]

Going to this game. Pumped.
