Wow, still can't believe this season is actually happening.

Can't wait to hear what Randy says about the centre position this year.

Agreed, and I am going to be pretty sure JVR wont be in the center of it.

Was just waiting for this.

First time hearing from Carlyle in so long, he could give us no new information and I'd still be excited.

Sweet. Will it probably be on Leafstv too?

Those ******** better put it on Leafstv, they seriously need an overhaul.
 
Wonder if it's a tour of the Leafs new dressing room that he helped design :laugh:

But in all seriousness - I wanna see what it looks like.
 
Carlyle stating the obvious to the silly question that yes Paul Ranger is on an AHL contract and only NHL contract players can come to camp. Why would a reporter ask that? You'd think they'd have that knowledge.
 
Much more scrutiny and intensity in Toronto than in Anaheim (obviously). Goal is to win hockey games.

In regards to goaltending, Carlyle believes it is NHL quality goaltending.
 
Not afraid to play 18 year old in the NHL (in reference to MoRiles). Believes he is an elite junior player. Focus is to get the best players to represent the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Progress made on Jake Gardiner. He is doing off-ice work and hopefully available at the start of training camp dependent on tests.
 
Says he caught a lot of AHL games early in the season. Praises for Dallas.

Expects high paced, tempo, physical games (due to the shortened season) and understands that every game and points are critical.
 
Something about conditioning. Kind of missed it. Staff will see players will be checked on their conditioning and if they aren't where they should be, there will be modifications made to get them to that level.
 
Komarov was good in the AHL and McClement has been doing well on the PK for years. Will see over training camp to fill positions.

JVR will start out on the wing.
 
JVR starting out at wing, that's the right decision. Says he will try JVR out at the C position if injury's avail.
 
There is always pressure on NHL coaches to make the playoffs and there is pressure throughout the organization to make them. Providing environment to give players a chance to succeed.

Players that are not here (in Toronto) now, are on the way. Expects everyone to be here by Wednesday or Thursday.

I know he said he hasn't figured out who's playing what position, but I could see this as our checking/shutdown line:

Komarov-McClement-Kulemin
 
Expects players to get in to the shooting lanes (obvious). Make it difficult to get pucks to the net. Expects players to be in shot blocking position and not to pull 'the flamingo' :laugh:

Lupul and Kessel will play together, guaranteed.
