With Joffrey Lupul likely facing a suspension and Mike Komisarek heading to the AHL, the #leafs have recalled Ryan Hamilton.

Hamilton has to clear waivers to go back to the Marlies, he has thirty goals in the AHL this year, he might have played his last game as a Marlie, don't think he makes it through waivers.

Strange to have a Hamilton in Toronto and their on their way to Buffalo.

Really depends on how he looks when he gets into the Leafs' line-up. If he looks out of place or like a generic 4th line type at the NHL level, he clears no problem. If he looks like more . . . well, then he doesn't go on waivers.

Turns out Hamilton could be sent back.  Has to be on an NHL roster for 30 days or have played 10 games.  He has played only 3 NHL games.

Not as strange as a Johnson heading for the Love Canal... (old Buffalo joke... sorry)  :

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Thanks Sarge, that's a little less worrisome.

Oh right. That's because he's already cleared waivers this season.

Yes, Hamilton is closer to Buffalo.

I had to laugh at Down Goes Brown tweet after the Leafs game last night:

"So? I guess it was all Mike Komisarek?s fault"

Dude has some serious wit eh

 

[Kaberle15]

Lupul suspended 2 games.

Will Hamilton play?

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

would have been nice to play boston with a full line up...

 

[bustaheims]

jonasTSN1050: Ryan Hamilton was unsure of whether he'd play tonight vs. Sabres.

 

[leafplasma]

I would have to guess with the success of the lineup last night, Hamilton slots right into where Lupul was on Kadri's line.  Played together on the Marlies, it just makes all the sense in the world.  Only way McLaren sees the ice is if Orr sits I would think.

2 games! what a load of crap.... 1 game for that soft hit would have been fine. shanny caved into the fact the gms were there. so the first Boston game is a gift from Shanny, what a farce.

 

[Bonsixx]

Reimer gets the start. If Scrivens hadn't been yanked his last outing, he probably gets in here.

Hopefully Reimer can grab the reins here and go with it.

 

[sneakyray]

is there another lucic that leads the sabres in PIM or os that a typo?

I found 3 mistakes myself after I posted this. Should probably try proofreading them or something.

no worries...even with the lack of proofreading its a crap-tonne better than I could/would put together.

Millen just said Hamilton isn't in.

Must be McLaren then.
