GDT: Vegas vs Leafs Wednesday 7:30 || The IR edition

This can't be an official Leafs account...

F Max Domi has been downgraded from “literally invisible” to “he was hurt all along” and subsequently placed on IR (lower body) retroactive to November 16.

Big huge stud F Nikita Grebenkin has been recalled from the Toronto Marlies (AHL).

They don't have an official Bluesky account last I checked so definitely not.

Well Goodluck to the Marlies tonight against a really good team. Hopefully Marner at C to see what we got. I would suggest putting Minten with Grebs and Steeves. They have good chemistry together

I'd like to see Robertson with them, as the lines are expected to be. It will be a fun line.

This is a game we have no business winning, with this lineup... could be fun to watch though.

Hard not to go with Stolarz with so many days off. Woll needs to play though. He always tends to get so many tough matches with back to backs and now the very injured team... He'll need to be good.

I was slightly worried the Leafs would go 11/7 even with Greb up... looks like not the case, which is good news.

Time for Nylander, Tavares and Marner to earn their pay.

 

[Apex Predator]

This game just became more intersting to watch with minten and grebekin! This is the time for this two to show they belong.

Tavares giving pointers?

 

[DarkKnight]

Man, two full lines of forwards out.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Woll needs to have a real good game today.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Berube did say Marner to C is possible, I assume same goes for Nylander.

Leafs still have Holmberg, Lorentz and Dewar as capable centers as well. Maybe they try Minten in a big time role?

He said it, but if you watched the clip he's laughing the entire time.

He's not serious

Woll needs to have a real good game today.

Not Stolarz?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

The next little while hinges on the dcore, nylander, Marner, Tavares, maybe knies and the goalies

We need them to be superb in all facets of the game because we are missing so many pieces.

and yet, Marner is practicing faceoffs this morning.... We'll see... Could have been laughing at how many injuries there is, and the thought of needing Marner is a bit ridiculous.

It's Woll, not Stolarz.

We also need the depth to actually do something.

Hopefully nobody else gets hurt today.... otherwise next week we'll be reading... .Leafs recall from the Cincinnati Cyclones.....

Sounds like Berube, always laughing and joking.

I don’t think they will. I’ve been immensely disappointed with Robertson and Holmberg. McMann is good, but he isn’t any sort of play driver, he needs the others to be going for him to do anything. We have 2 fourth lines, where our actual fourth line (Lorentz-Minten-Grebyenkin) is actually better than our 3rd line.

We need nylander Marner to go McDrai mode, we need Tavares to play up to his capabilities, we need the dcore to be spectacular and we need the goalies to be sturdy and no softies.

 

[GoonieFace]

A little injection of youth may do wonders

I don't see a guy as a center just because he takes some faceoffs.

nobody would call Zach Hyman a center but he took faceoffs on the PK when he was here.

As for Woll he better have the game of his life because it feels like half the roster is out.

I like getting ahead of myself, that way I know how far off I was when I'm behind myself ...


The Hound line.

Oct. 10, 1985 - Hound Line Debuts - Toronto Maple Leafs Centennial Timeline

Hound Line Debuts​

During the 1985-86 season, the famous Hound Line would skate for the first time.
Comprised of Gary Leeman, Russ Courtnall and Wendel Clark, they earned the name, as all three had once played for the Notre Dame Hounds of Wilcox Saskatchewan.

Marlies' Report: Three Out of Four Points from Checkers

The Toronto Marlies played the Charlotte Checkers in two weekend games. How did the Marlies take three or four points from the Checkers?

nhltradetalk.com

Minton was not given any time to work into the lineup. Instead, he was thrown right into the fire on a line by Steeves and Grebenkin. He was also put on top of the power play unit. As you might expect from a player who hadn’t played since mid-September, Minton’s timing was a little off early in the first game. However, the Minton/Steeves/Grebenkin line was dominant in game #2. Minton was impressive in the second game in how he skated with the puck and his shot. He could have easily had a goal or two. He rang one shot off the post and missed the net, another glorious chance.

So they've recalled Grebenkin ...

LOVE that attitude hopefully he surprises us with a big goal or a couple big assists, not expecting a ton in his 1st game but we sure as hell could use it.
