Or the spot between Roy and Armia is really open for Kapanen?
Honestly tho, considering Demidov is here next year, i am not sure if Newhook is here to stay. He will sure brings a lot of speed in the bottom six and brings a lot of versatility but the competition is fierce. Roy, Newhook, Kapanen, Beck, Tuch, Florian Xhekaj, Hage, Heineman. Decision will have to be made. And that is not counting if we go for a UFA like Sam Bennett. Top 6 is already congestionated.

I do Three bullets.
I love it lol, he's so petty he think he's actually taking a shot at the habs
But I'd be more than happy to remember him as a leaf than as a Hab
It was good riddance then
And its still good riddance now lol

I'm going to this game tonight. I'll be booing Patioready and waiting for some Lane Hutson magic. I'll be watching this D core very closely, Barron especially.

"I CHOSE TORONTO CAUSE I KNOW THESE GUYS LIKE PLAYING THE PERIMETER GAME LIKE ME, AND ALSO LIKE TO ENJOY THEIR SUMMERS! LET'S JUST SAY I WILL HAVE THE PATIO READY" Max explained with his crooked smile grin.
I don’t see why they can’t mix in vets. This is only game 3. Instead, they’ll probably get embarrassed. The only way it could be worse is if they played the Canadian college kid in net again. Sheesh!
I'm just so giddy for this game. Don't care win or lose. Surely the kids are super pumped for this game! Drop the puck already!
Although it's been only 2 preseason games so far, Laine and Dach are looking better even though them both have missed considerable time. I feel like Newhook has been behind the play. But give the guy a chance, it's a new line and they're all going to need many more games together to find that chemistry. I do hope they do, will mean a lot for the team. If not, I hope we keep Kapanen a few games after the preseason, and I'd think maybe try Kapanen w/ Dach/Laine for a few games just to see how that goes.

A lot of teams don't bring their most valuable vets on the road during the 1st few preseason games. Similar to how New Jersey left all of their key vets at home. When Toronto visits Montreal on Saturday the lineups will most likely be reversed.

Here's our first true preseason lineup IMO (in a good way).
Centres: Kapanen/Beck/Dvo - who's going to stand out more against a strong Leafs lineup?
The left wings: All of them have a shot at making the team. Roy has the inside track (IMO) but Heineman looked good last game, ABB has some NHL experience, and Tuch would bring a bottom-six element we're lacking.
Right wings - Pezz/Armia are lower on the totem pole this year. Put a little pressure on them. Newhook rounds it out as the vet in this lineup who's sticking.
D: Really interesting. Same as the left wingers, all guys pushing for spots. Even Xhekaj's not entirely solidified after his AHL stint last year (though he did play a lot better after).
The definition of a 'show me what you got' lineup. I like it.

Pacioretty is exactly the type of heart and soul-player the Leafs need.

Reminds me when they brought over "leader/proven winner" Joe Thornton to help mentor the kids.
You know, the guy who got stripped of the captaincy and never won anything team-wise on this league.

I don't rate that kind of statement...he knew exactly what he was doing.
I get it, he's on a new team and trying to get fans to warm up but he could do that without subtly taking a shot at the organization he was a Captain of.
He's on a PTO after all, he could get humbled quick...this man is talking greasy like he signed a 8 year deal.
Don't nobody give a damn about what jersey your kids think is nice lol!

Shutout streak is ending.
Probably a loss.
Can't have nice things.
On a different boat.
Some dude's bumper flew off as I was coming home today and almost hit my car. It wouldn't have happened if bro just let me pass instead of getting upset that I caught up to him. Once his bumper flew off he got back into the right lane and simmered down.

Barron is probably two Mailloux like Gaffes away from getting booted off the island.
