GDT: Leafs @ Ottawa, Saturday, Feb 10th

[SprDaVE]

Well this is odd.

Laggeson and Timmins are still on the roster too so not like they needed another D man. Unless Gio or McCabe are hurt but Keefe said they were okay

They also have basically 0 cap space to do a recall unless Woll and/or Jarnkrok were put on LTIR.

EDIT:

Can't wait to get Ottawa's best effort after they've bent over for every other opponent since the last time we met.

EDIT:

Even than it doesn't make sense. Laggeson hasn't played in like more than a month and Timmins is clearly the 7th d man. Made more sense to call up a forward. Of course unless Gio/McCabe are actually hurt than Keefe was letting on

 

[Enniskillen]

Ottawa will play sensational hockey for one game tomorrow and will turn to pumpkin at midnight. Usual script, getting boring already.

I am not saying the Sens are good, but they are 6-2-2 in their past 10.

Hardly bending over

Trade incoming?

 

[al secord]

Guns don't kill people. Uh uh. Max Lajoie kills people...with guns.

I approve of this call up.

You mean his 24" pythons.

Pretty obvious Keefe plans to run a 10-8 roster tomorrow night…

Knies-Matthews-Marner
Bertuzzi-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Domi-Holmberg
McMann

Rielly-Brodie
McCabe-Liljegren
Benoit-Lagesson
Gio-Timmins

The man is a living breathing legend and Ottawa is going to get their asses Keefe’d tomorrow!

 

[Martin Skoula]

I still laugh at the fact that Ottawa has a professional sports franchise

Pretty liberal with the word “professional” huh

 

[Fogelhund]

Woll to LTIR to cover the LaJoie call up.

 

[wingman75]

Woll to LTIR to cover the LaJoie call up.

Indeed...

 

[Cleetus]

[CelticDruid]

I hope Gio sits in the stands he has been absolutely horrendous and could cost the Leafs more valuable points down the stretch.

I do feel sorry for Lilly having to play as his partner.

Rewatching some past games in which Gio has been the leading culprit of mistakes amongst Leaf blue liners.

Grow some nuts Keefe and sit him in the press box.

 

[OVO16]

Giordano is straight-up washed and honestly has no business being in the lineup on a healthy team

Lagesson is much better player right now but he's scratched because of name power

 

[Sypher04]

Yeah, I still cannot make sense of Lajoie being called up at all.
Doesn't this now give us 9 defensemen up? Like even if McCabe isn't available tomorrow night, it seems unnecessary.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

This smells of an overtime game.

Some sorta “comeback” to get it there. Whether that’s a meltdown or leafs waking up late in the 3rd - I do not know.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Man it is pretty sad how little life there is to Leaf Sens games now....like I just don't care about it. Was the rivalry for me as a kid.

 

[Racer88]

Man is Woll ever going to come back. It must be a high ankle sprain of biblical proportions

 

[Voodoo Child]

I was looking through my post history and was just thinking that, it happened before Christmas.

I’m glad Sammy has found his game but not glad enough to give him a five year deal, where’s the news?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Let Woll take as long as he needs to get to 100% . We need him at full health for April. Right now Samsonov and Jones is good enough to win. Why rush the kid.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

High ankle sprains can be goalie killers. Probably would have been better off with a broken bone honestly. Why I was confused when people were like relieved when the diagnosis came out that it was "just a high ankle sprain".

Ottawa is a disaster and we don’t know when they’ll ever get it together. They don’t have to be great just at least by on par with the Leafs and it would do wonders for the rivalry.

 

[Nineteen67]

Indeed...

Why wasn’t he already on LTIR?

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Why wasn’t he already on LTIR?

It's retroactive so they get the same cap relief. You don't put him on LTIR right away because there's no way to judge how fast he will recover. Turns out it was worse than they thought.
