At this point, since the Leafs have already used their 4 call-ups, that could only happen if Gus/Reimer get injured.

So, is this an "emergency injury call-up", or is this the 4th of 4 post-deadline call-ups, meaning we won't see Kadri, Coulubourune or Holzer for the rest of this year?

So, in reading all the interviews this past week or so, does anyone else get the vibe that Steckel really didn't like playing for Wilson?

Some perspective: The difference between "great deal" (4.9M) and "too expensive" (5.5M) in terms of overall cap hit is not having Rosehill as a healthy scratch all year.

I made cake in a microwave today. It was better than expected. http://howto.wired.com/wiki/Make_Cake_in_a_Mug

Well... They brought back Punch Imlach to coach in 1980, and he won cups as the coach in the 60s.

For Randy Carlyle, perhaps we change the phrase to RC Cola?

I actually really like Bozak. He's not the biggest or strongest guy, but I think he's the smartest forward on the team, which is why he's versatile enough to fill in as a C on any line.

That's not exactly my point, Bates. My point is that a full length AHL playoff run may be better for the franchise than a slightly improved NHL 20 regular season games with no playoffs. If Burke assesses the NHL team and doesn't think they'll make it, I can see why he'd hold off on making the...

This is where my head is right now. BB is going to make Eakins the coach for next year, but doesn't want to pull him out of the Marlies playoff run. He sees an AHL championship being more important for development than missing the NHL playoffs or getting bounced in 4 or 5 games.

So, this team played *better* before the deadline?

1) Goaltending 2) Defence who, while being very solid offensively, has lacked somewhat defensively 3) A third line made up of those that didn't fit anywhere else rather than being a particular "type" (scoring, checking, defensive, grinder, whatever); just rag-tag pieces. 4) Second-line wingers...

Ten?

Quite frankly, when the Carter ship sailed, I don't think we have another realistic option. Grabo is the best free agent Centre available. Sure, we could maybe trade for an equivalent guy and save a million on the cap, but that would cost other assets as opposed to the "asset" of cap space. To...

This is the problem with putting 4-year politicians in charge of 20-year projects.

My answer for this is Vokoun. -UFA this year, making 1.5M since nobody wanted him last season. Will almost certainly cost more than that, but not an insane amount. -WSH will likely not be retaining him with Neuvrith and Holtby splitting time next year. -35y.o. or so, should be able to be a good...

You assume they'll only built one.

An alternative proposal: If you believe that WSH will eventually win their division, then their point total will be irrelevant. If they beat the Sens, that'll keep us 5 points back with two games in hand, making it a 7-8-9-10 battle at the end instead of an 8-9-10. (4 teams for 2 spots instead...

The booze or the gun? Both?

Sooo... why is this game at 10 when last night's was at 9?
