Samsonov got lit up by OV last game

Good team but winnable game.

[LeafalCrusader]

Samsonov revenge game or do they start Hill?

 

[Maple Leaf]

samsiniov is still playing??

 

[DarkKnight]

I really don't care about the schedule and making sure Woll stays sharp. Ride Storlaz, using the same logic, it isn't a busy schedule so you won't overload him.

 

[Evilhomer]

It's November, so this will be another Leafs win.

 

[SprDaVE]

I can see Minten called up for this one. We'll see.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

These guys are always a tough opponent . If we’re healthy I expect an excellent game.

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Vegas hasn't looked great on the road

 

[wingman75]

Feels like the boys have played a lot of hockey lately. Not that it is good for us fanatics, but a light schedule here is probably a good thing.

I'd roll with Stolarz.

Would not be surprised if Matthews doesn't play until Dec 2 vs Chicago. Clearly he is far from healthy. So it seems to me, if he is not scoring, he is injured.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Wining in regulation would nice, it's been a while.

 

[Nineteen67]

Kampf on IR

 

[SprDaVE]

Well... I called the Minten call-up... I didn't call the Kampf injury.

Yeah, because in December they play almost every other night.

Damn.
This could actually be a huge development if Minten shows he's ready to be a fulltime NHL'er.
I would bet that isn't the case and he still needs more AHL time but if it works, our center position looks alot stronger.

 

[Evilhomer]

Can't win in regulation. Not a serious team.

 

[SprDaVE]

Domi is also not 100% so this is starting to get very thin upfront.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Can't win in regulation. Not a serious team.

We'll find out in the playoffs how serious they are or aren't.

Yeah based on Berube's comments yesterday I thought it was going to be Domi going on IR.

 

[fahad203]

I can see Minten called up for this one. We'll see.

Great call. He's been called up

Kudos to you. You had mentioned many times that he'll most likely to be called up first

 

[SprDaVE]

He probably should sit out if he's not 100%. We need him to figure it out.

A good test with injuries piling up. He's been very good with the Marlies.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Will be good to see Minten.
Hopefully they don't just throw him on the 4th line.

 

[SprDaVE]

Very likely will be, directly replacing Kampf. But without Reaves and Kampf, the fourth line could be very functional. If he does well and Leafs get healthy, I could see Domi moved to the wing with Minten centering him.

Steeves and Minten looked very good together with the Marlies. I could see them playing with Lorentz.

 

[tmlfan98]

How do the Leafs even have the cap space to call up Minten? They were at 731k in LTIR space before the call up and Minten's cap hit is 816k.

Patches LTIR incoming?

Start him there and see if he can play. It would be great if he could eventually be the 3rd line center this season.

Patches or Matthews. Both can go on it retroactively.
