I wonder if the kadri lines stays the same with bozak being back in. I hope so, doesn't really make sense to break up a hot line.

I'm sure Kadri will start with them, if Bozak ends with them who knows guess it depends how they look. Kadri had the line to start only to lose it and Bozak wasn't playing badly when he was injured.

Kadri 1st line C
Bozak 3rd line C.

Hmm

Except he never lost it. They were getting close to even minutes

Any idea why Harrington keeps getting scratched in favour of Marincin? I thought Harrington's been fairly solid, especially for his first NHL experience, while Marincin's seemed sloppy at best.

So Kadri who started with JVR and was replaced by Bozak wasn't demoted? He was clearly moved down and Bozak moved up.

It doesn't make much sense to me.

If Lundqvist is in net, we'll probably win.

I swear, this franchise seems to inexplicably have Hank's number. It's as if he completely forgets how to goalie against the Leafs.

Woof.

25GP - .900SV% - 2.84GAA - 2SO

Those have to be his worst stats against anyone.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

This year is such a gongshow - I feel like we are seeing which spare parts playing top minutes will remain as bottom 6ers in the future.

 

[Budsfan]

Bozak returning will get less minutes and will get back to game shape but things can change and being on the third line in this situation, doesn't mean he's been demoted.

Take note Holland is now centering the second line after having been a healthy scratch.

As someone that would love Marincin to be an actual good player for this team, this honestly boggles my mind. He has been pretty horrible and I have been pleasantly surprised by Harrington.

Wouldn't be surprised if its upper management trying to prove that they didn't loose the trade or something.

Harrington is hurt.

 

[PuckMagi]

I actually like these lines.

 

[SprDaVE]

I was starting to really question Babcock a little... but thank god you're right there.

 

[tmlmatus]

Harrington is hurt.

agh, makes sense then.

 

[Duke Silver]

Re: Holland on second line.

This is what I like about Babcock. He'll bench you but then he'll put you in a position to prove him wrong.

Instead of scratching a guy then giving him 3 mins on the 4th line the next game. How is that player supposed to show improvement?

 

[PuckMagi]

realistically though, the Holland line will be the 3rd line and the Bozak line will be the second line.

No he didnt

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I have a feeling Bozak's line is going to get more ice time than Holland's so its more like Bozak on the 2nd line Holland on the 3rd.

Pretty much this. My guess as well regardless of where Henny lists the order.

 

[LV*]

Holland getting a chance to prove his value, hoping for another loss.

can't believe the nhl is dumb for letting this superstar go

He should help our Marlies squad. Hopefully one hockey team can remain competitive in Toronto this year!

 

[Ovate]

Is there a way that Hendrick determines which line to list as the second line and which to list as the third? The 3rd line looks way better than the 2nd to me.

 

[Moncherry]

The schedule thus far has been awkward. It feels like they play once a week.
