He did, that's why I responded. And when someone says you are crazy for suggesting Lupul should play with Kadri. I will happily point this out when it was suggested they will play together tonight.

Yeah you're right, you're not an argumentative person. :help:

Interesting that so far he hasn't really fallen or been knocked off the puck like he use to. His body checking is also underrated, he hits like Tucker did - very hard for his size.

I agree. He brings great energy as-well. Loved his celebration. He seems to actually care about the team and the fans and not just putting on a face. How much did that building turn around after his goal. Really gave the leafs some life.

Interactif, for some reason every-time I see your avatar I think of Tom Hagen (Robert Duvall) from The Godfather lol.

lol :laugh:
 
As bad as our team has been, we're 4-2-2 against the Pens over the past two seasons. I have a good feeling about this one.

didn't read through the thread and am unsure if it's confirmed or not...but if it is, i'm a little disappointed Reimer is starting over Scrivens...but hopefully he does well.

Well, Reimer is the guy many have deemed our #1G, if he is....here is a chance to show it.

Lupul is on the third line

MacArthur is on the 1st line

JVR is on second line

I hope we see more of Kadri line than grabo line. Grabo line has been worse than trash in the offensive zone. I can't think of a single scoring chance they created.

CMac - bozak - kessel
Lupul - kadri - komarov
JVR- grabo - kulemin
Brown-McClement-Orr

No that is not how it works. You clearly haven't played any team sport, let alone hockey. Players always say they are ready to go.

How was McArthur promoted? Just because he is playing with Kessel doesn't mean he is on line #1. Those are numbers you give them. That isn't how it works in the dressing room.

Any line he is on is the number one line

It's quite possible that line gets more-or-less the same amount of ES icetime as the 'second' line. Kessel gets a lot of PP time.

The score of the game among other factors make ES TOI different form night to night I would bet kessel will have the most ES time for the forwards at the end of the year

Most likely. Though it's interesting to note that in the 10-11 season, Grabovski averaged only one shift per game less than Kessel at even strength, and one shift more than Bozak. Last year Grabovski averaged only 2 shifts less per game than Kessel at even strength.


It's really quite common for there to be two "first lines" when it comes to even strength, with the "first liners" getting more PP time.
