Yuck. Goalies are going to be busy tonight.

 

[SprDaVE]

I hope Sova gets into the game tonight. I was very impressed with him at the rookie tournament. I hope the Leafs give him an ELC.

Samsonovs first game will be a busy one.

 

[SprDaVE]

Sounds like Sova is playing. It feels like he's lining up to get an ELC.

Great to see Keefe experimenting with some line combinations that you will NEVER see in the regular season. Genius.

Most of those players you won't see in the regular season.

He's testing the younger players in different roles. For example, can Robertson compete in a 4th line role and minutes. Line combinations aren't the only thing to do. There's like another 4 games.

Sure you will. Just in a minimum capacity for some. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Minten getting a game sometime later in the year. Most of those forwards will play a game, Shaw and Ellis are the two that won’t.

Obviously, it is a line up you would never see in the regular season.

Maybe, who knows? Still seems like a odd thing to worry about.

How should the lines look if Keefe was smarter?

Yes and it’s great he’s trying it. Like I said, he is a genius.

Worried? Okay.

Wonder if Cowan gets in again? Maybe takes Bertuzzi spot tomorrow . Would be fun for the kid.

I would think they'll give him another game at least. If not, they may as well send him back now.

That's a roster only the hardcorest of fan can love... GLG

This is a Bertuzzi Knies Robertson test. Who can carry a line and who can't.

Interesting if he gets in with the big boys. Nice opportunity for him.

Also shouldn't we be getting some cuts today?

Go Leafs Go
Beat the habs
Even if it is preseason

Maybe Sunday?

Gregor and Robertson are the storylines I'll be following here.

Robertson is again in a bottom 6 role; seems like Keefe is really trying to test him away from his strengths, particularly his own end.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

3 game series with the Habs. Brings back memories of the north division sigh.

Another playoff game ?
