Hopefully everybody stays healthy

Hopefully everybody stays healthy

Amen to that.

Any line-up news?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Probably one last game for the AHL guys before the cuts come, and a full NHL lineup on Saturday at home.

 

[TMLAM34]

You’d assume Stolarz gets this game while Woll gets next but low key I’m hoping to see Hildeby tonight.

Any line-up news?

Line ups are posted fairly early on twitter so we'll know soon

Hoping to see Niemela play a game, best D prospect by a mile and might be the closest to NHL ready.

 

[Mess]

The Toronto Maple Leafs welcomed both John Tavares and Calle Jarnkrok back to the practice rink today shares David Alter of The Hockey News. Both players have been bearing through day-to-day lower-body injuries.

Leafs were also joined by Jani Hakanpaa at today’s skate – the defender’s first appearance in a Maple Leaf jersey after prolonged injury this summer.

Hildeby should be playing/given the chance in NHL this season not surprised if he is the best Goalie in the organisation already.

The NHL regular season starts tomorrow.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, play Niemela you dimwits. Whats the worst that can happen. He could be on for 100 GA and he still would have a bright future.

 

[Duffman955]

What happened to Minten?

 

[Budz]

What happened to Minten?

High ankle sprain. Out at least 4+ weeks. Happened during the rookie tourney.

Topi on the top PP. He's playing.
Also I know they don't really have options, but any game with Kampf on the PP should be boycotted.

Interesting that Timmins/Benoit isn't with that group.

 

[Fogelhund]

13 forwards, 7 d listed... so which two are sitting this one out?

Jarnkrok isn't on either PP so sounds like he'll be the one sitting out upfront. But could be Pare.

I assume Kokkonen is the one sitting out this one.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Amen to that.

let me be clear I don't just mean Leaf players either.

I don't want to see anything happen to any Wings players either.

This pre season has been crazy for injuries.

I don't remember a pre season like this for injury issues.

Finally, Niemela is playing.

Out of the 7 D, my hope is Myers doesn't play, just because everyone else is more green and it'd be nice to get a look at them.

The forwards are kind of boring since we know what is happening with everyone, but it'll be nice to see Pacioretty and Robertson again.

 

[Roo]

Would be nice to see Niemela.

 

[DragoGrizzly]

A super minor gripe, but what’s the point of playing Kampf on the pp? That will never happen so why bother with the reps? Wouldn’t it make more sense to put in the development time/practice into someone like Quillan?

It's been a little overly aggressive no doubt.

Kampf is better offensively, I think priority one should be whoever might get reps on the PP in the NHL or with the Marlies, and then the second priority should be whoever is better offensively so that the players that got put there for the first reason get the best players helping them practice.

Not sure Quillan is on the PP for the Marlies.

Not sure this is the reason, just my opinion.
