Nazem Kadri takes the spot of injured Tyler Bozak alongside James van Riemsdyk and Phil Kessel.

Everybody dance now.

I give it two shifts before Carlyle comes to what he believes are his senses.

jonasTSN1050: Projected Lines vs. PIT: JVR-Kadri-Kessel. Raymond-Bolland-Clarkson. Ashton-McClement-Orr. McLaren-Smith-Bodie.

Orr moves up to prime time on the 3rd line.

Why, why would Orr be bumped up to the 3rd line?  Good lord those are awful.

12 shots will be an accomplishment tonight.

Yeah, though, it's better than having him and McLaren on the same line. Keep it to one useless player per line in the bottom 6.

 

[Jalili]

That is rough dude. Two of those lines are devoid of any offensive talent.

I'm not too optimistic about this game.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That's two 4th lines. If we can keep the goal difference below 4 I'll consider it a victory.

But then they effectively kill 2 lines instead of limiting the damage to one.

True, but, no matter how those 6 are put together, the odds that any of them other than McClement get more than 6 minutes were pretty slim any way.

 

[Redleaf]

Gauranteed loss night.

I disagree. They need to put last nights game behind them and match the intensity the Pens bring tonight. I think they can do it. Reimer should be up for it as well.

 

[drummond]

the game has a disaster written all over it

 

[bakeapples]

Doobie doobie dooo  - KILL THE PENGUINS!!!

 

[Arn]

Jesus. Just saw the updated injuries and lines.

9-2 Penguins.

 

[Arn]

Haha, if the Leafs win tonight they'll be top of the Eastern conference.

Eesh.

 

[Stronger Than All]

Penalties probably won't help

 

[13th fan]

Crap!

 

[Partagas]

nice... We suck guys

 

[TML fan]

Doesn't take much to get a powerplay in this league anymore, does it?

Ughhhh Reimer...

 

[L K]

Well the ugliness starts. 

The Leafs have been worse this year at:
1) Faceoffs
2) Taking penalties

Last year they were shorthanded 157 times in 48 games.  They have been shorthanded 45 times already this year.

Ashton was called up and Leivo was sent down. I've liked Leivo's play but Carlyle barely plays him so what's the point of him being up. Then again Carlyle barely plays Ashton either. Man our forward depth rules.

Leivo been way too passive, watching out there.
