Bozak with Kessel, Lupul;.
Grabbo w/Kule-Mac/
Kadri w/JVR/Komarov/
McClement/Orr/Brown
Steckel is extra

[OptiMized]

is it just me or does that 3rd line look dangerous? i think they could put up some points (fingers crossed they stay healthy)

[Lavy16]

Why put JVR in the middle who has been a winger forever and put Kadri, a natural center on the wing?

Kadri is the centre. I think he meant to tweet Kadri with (as in "he is the centre") JVR and Komarov.

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
Mac - Grabov - Kulemin
JVR - Kadri - Komarov
Orr-McClement - Brown

and i found the D pairs (via jonas siegel)

Interesting D-pairings today: Phaneuf-Kostka. Liles-Komisarek. Gunnarsson-Franson. Fraser and Holzer would appear extras.

^ my bad...thanks for pointing that out

[OptiMized]

np, i made the same mistake but then i looked at the Grabovski line and knew he typed it weird.

Therrien says Carey Price will start tomorrow. Just a maintenance day.

damn it

I'd be interested in them swapping JVR or Kadri with Bozak, I've never liked him as the first line center and I feel like they'd be better off looking for some new chemistry. Nevertheless, lines look solid.

Our defense is pretty horrid.


Good luck Reimer

I agree, I have never understood why they keep sticking bozak on the first line. I'd like to see what kadri could do given the chance.

Anyone else concerned that Mike Kostka, a career AHL journey man and a guy who has never played an NHL game before managed to crack the Leafs number 1 d-man pairing? Is the Leafs defence seriously that bad?

I thought Scrivens was getting the start?

I hope so. Just for one year. One year.
