Reimer to Pitt may make some sense in the long run.  Fleury on the last year of his deal and with his inconsistency in the playoffs last few years, perhaps Pitt will move on?

Kessel - Bozak - JVR Lupul - Kadri - Clarkson Santorelli - Kontiola - Komarov Bodie/Ashton - Holland - Frattin Orr/McLaren First line is a given.  I still think that the way Clarkson's season started last year with the suspension really put him behind the 8-ball.  I think that this season...

If MacIntyre starts, it pretty much confirms what we already know.  These are Reimer's last two games in a Leaf uniform.

What confuses me the most is the change from last season.  We may not have been a stalwart defensive team last year but we weren't this bad if I recall. In regards to coaching, at some point during the season do the coaches not meet and reevaluate strategies?  It was obvious within the first...

He's a character guy and he's a winner.  He will get his long term deal at $4.5 mil per at least.

I agree 100%, I have no idea why he's being used in that role.  Personally, I see him on the second line with Kadri and JVR.  That combo was used last night briefly and was the line on the ice when the goal was scored. It would be tough to split up Kessel and JVR  though.

There's no doubt that Clarkson needs to be better, I think even he would admit that as well.  But, I think the 10 gamer to start the season really set him out for a tough go. The 2 gamer and this past injury also has not helped him get his season going. Also, he's being used in a defensive role...

3rd Line with Kulemin and Clarkson.  Played about 10-12 min.

I'd love to see these lines tonight: Lupul - Bozak - Kessel Clarkson - Kadri - JVR Raymond - Holland - Kulemin Ashton - McClement - Orr 1st line had some good chemistry a while back, hopefully they can find it again. 2nd line with the 2 big physical wingers can hopefully open up some space...

Hebert was a referee in that Pittsburgh game as well but not sure if he was the one who allowed the goal.  I guess both referees could have disallowed the Malkin though.

I agree.  Holland has actually impressed me so far.  As long as he is with somewhat skilled linemates he has performed well and has chipped in a nice number of goals since he arrived. McClement has been McClement this season which is fine.  Wins faceoffs, kills penalties and competes on every...

They mentioned it on the CBC broadcast as well.  I think that last scrap with parros when he ate the ice really had an effect on Orr.  How often does Orr not drop the mitts when asked (earlier in the game)? Orr looked like he's lost his edge on Saturday but that may be an over reaction on my part.

I'd switch Clarkson to the 2nd Line and Kulemin to the 3rd.  I'm excited to see how Raymond turns out, I think he can still play and would be a great fit.

I totally agree, the numbers I listed were assuming that the 'peg and NJ win all their games which is highly unlikely.

According to my calculations, which very well could be wrong, we'll need 57 points to cover both the current 9th and 10th place teams (56 points assuming we have the tie breaker) 9. Winnipeg has 44pts with 6 games remaining 10. New Jersey has 40 pts with 8 games remaining Obviously, every...

How good does that rumoured 1st rounder offered for him last year look right about now...

I think Gunnarsson is our best trade option.  They survived and played well without him in the lineup and he should be valuable enough to net a decent return.  If Liles were to be traded it would either be for a later round pick and/or mid-range prospects.  His age, cap hit and spot currently...

I think this wins, however I personally own a Rob Pearson jersey from back in '94.

Yup.....exactly.

It's amazing to me that we continue to use career minor leaguers in critical situations.
