Maybe.  But they used to say Sundin floated and that wasn't the case.  My point being that sometimes it is difficult to determine Kessel's desire because he can also lay low in the weeds and then spring on the attack.

Possibly they convinced themselves that more late round Kaberle types would be developing. 

No one is saying the direct reasons why.  Just that indirectly, today we have Ashton and we don't have Colborne.

I'd rather have Joe Colborne especially with injuries at C, how great would it be to have him right now?

Leafs 4-2

That's low balling

Great point moon, and I wonder how much is also due to the league's rightful investigations on hits to the head.  Also, the ensuing change to icing rules to prevent injury.  Are the players playing as hard as they used to?  Where are the thunderous bodychecks?  It seems to me a lot of the...

This team doesn't care any more, so why should we?

Gardiner would be better suited to the wing.

OK Frattin, let's see what you've got. 4-3 Leafs.

The trouble being that the affected players begin to have that realization that there are players unaffected by a platooned roster.  Once two camps are evident and made up of "everyday players" and "everyone else" that will create resentment, it's only human nature.

That's true but I didn't diss Kopitar; I am a fan.  He is big and plays the style I like to watch. I'd trade all of our centers for all of theirs.  Would anyone disagree?

The Leafs made their choice - a small European.  We will see how that works out. Like Don said, it never hurts to compare your team to the Cup winners as a benchmark. Just imagine if we had a Mike Richards or Jeff Carter or players like them at C, how more well rounded our lineup would be. ...

Ah, that makes sense.  I thought it was a Buffalo thing why he was there.

In preseason they had a few interesting things. First, in our section, Rob Ray and Peter Ing came out to throw T-shirts. Ray then took off his jersey and gave it to a fan. Then, staff came around giving tickets away to someone going crazy with fan spirit.  They chose a guy with a young kid...

Lots of talk about Kozun, but really isn't all that we need from that slot is to keep up with Lupes and Kadri?  It's those two that need to power the second line.  If he can be someone to compliment those two guys by keeping up speed-wise and keeping a cycle game going, he's done his job...

I like that.  As well, can Clarkson really be any worse?  Certainly not. Imagine Leo disrupting things on the forecheck and Clarkson getting more chances from that.  I could see them as a huge pita factor for opposing teams. If the 3rd and 4th lines can chip in the odd goal that should make a...

Very! That Kozun is working out seems to allow the choices to be made easier down the depth chart.  If he can truly be a second line player, that gives us a good third line and makes one more guy expendable that otherwise would have had to be on opening night.

I was at the game on Sunday and he really can fly out there. He has an interesting bow-legged skating style and he's a smooth skater. I thought he was NHL caliber.
