Let's see if we have learned anything from putting young players in terrible positions to succeed, like we did with Puempel, Prince and Lazar this season alone.

White only has to be better than most of the bottom six guys to justify his presence on the roster, which is an incredibly low bar right now, so I won't worry to much about his place in the lineup and the expectations for him to produce.

Some commie Russian is playing his first game as a Red Wing against the Sens.

 

[Merguson]

Franson would be a huge upgrade over Polak, that's for sure. Andrew Nielsen is having a pretty good year for the Marlies, though. He might be ready to go next year.

I don't know about full-time but Nielsen and Dermott should be getting a handful of games in the NHL if possible.

Says Smith, Methot and Ceci won't be back til the playoffs

lol Boucher pls.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Now Weber is out for two more games, will be traveling back to Montreal.

Well shit. I hope he's good for the playoffs.

 

[MetatronM]

NY media has already begun to move on to the playoffs: http://nypost.com/2017/04/03/chris-kreider-cant-avoid-goalies-rehashing-carey-price-crash/

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

tomorrow I'm rooting for the Kings? Go beat them Oilers!

Unfortunately, I also predict the Ducks will lose to the Flames at home for the first time in 13 years.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Franson said he wouldn't mind returning to the Leafs in the off-season.

I have a feeling it will be Rielly, Zaitsev, Gardiner, Carrick, Polak and yet-to-be-named-Marlie.

 

[ElephantShell]

I used to love Franson. That half slap shot of his was deadly. But I'm weary of bringing back anyone from that era. Bad mojo.

Also i think people are forgetting his patented one giveaway a game that leads to a goal

You don't think Babcock could settle him down?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Also i think people are forgetting his patented one giveaway a game that leads to a goal

Remember when he wanted 6m per and a long term contract?

I might be misremembering, but I think Mirtle and his collective were losing their shit over the Leafs not signing him.

 

[DopeyFish]

Weber out next 2 games

Just pls be back for the game after

 

[Reckheim]

Also i think people are forgetting his patented one giveaway a game that leads to a goal

I didn't forget, I don't want him on the leafs. He's a defensive liability (more so than Hunwick or Polak).

 

[Red_Man]

What's Zroid's thoughts on bringing Franson back?

Now Weber is out for two more games, will be traveling back to Montreal.

Well shit. I hope he's good for the playoffs.

CJ said it was precautionary, with the Division all but clinched I hope they rest half the team this week.

 

[Yawnier]

If Franson wears a Leaf jersey ever again I will become a Winnipeg Thrashers fan

 

[Merguson]

oh hey Leafs Lunch back to 2 hours

more of POS and Dave Poulin

just what everyone wants

 

[yyzjohn]

I didn't forget, I don't want him on the leafs. He's a defensive liability (more so than Hunwick or Polak).

You're kind of nuts with talk like this. Franson was miscast in his previous Leafs run. He's a hell of a better option than Hunwick or Polak on the bottom pair. I'd have no problems with Franson as a #5-6

 

[Marvie_3]

What's Zroid's thoughts on bringing Franson back?

Is zroid even alive anymore?

Dorion admits the Sens called league office when Ceci got hurt to see if they could call up Thomas Chabot.

Dorion said if another D goes down, the team would be eligible to call up Chabot on an emergency basis.

ESPN.com: If I gave you a Hart Trophy ballot, how would you fill it out?

Price: Oof. Connor McDavid, Sidney Crosby and probably Sergei Bobrovsky.

ESPN.com: Which means you'd give the Vezina to Bobrovsky?

Price: Yeah, it's really outstanding what Bob has done this season -- going from a point in his career where he openly confessed that he had zero confidence and then to come back and play the way he has this year is just really impressive.

Officer Bob has the Lords blessing 🙏🙏🙏

 

[CreeperBlocks]

PISS OFF WE NEED HIM FOR THE MEMORIAL CUP

😭 If they get eliminated then maybe

 

[Marvie_3]

ESPN? 😒😒😒😒😒

I hope the Leafs are embarrassed by the giant steaming shit they took at centre ice last time they played in Barfalow and use that as motivation to get a win tonight.

This is the last "easy" (I say easy but it's the Leafs, nothing is ever easy) game they have before shit gets super real for the last 4 games. You kinda need points here.

Only advantage Leafs have tonight is Buffalo played yesterday so theoretically should be more tired tonight.

Franson is somehow less mobile than either of Hunwick or Polak. And he'll want three millions and a few years.

He really ought to be calling up McPhee.

Ewww what is this

 

[ElephantShell]

The MLB gametracker thing on their website is actually pretty good. Nice layout, updates quickly and accurately. Keeping track of the Jays game in class.

Leafs are going to be tight with the cap next season as well

brown, hyman need to be signed
zaitsev is getting $4.5 million
we stupidly took eric fehr
we will have bonus overages of like $5 million

going to be interesting offseason, me thinks.

I think the Leafs think Vegas is taking Fehr.

There's 14.5million of cap hits coming off with Laich, Greening and Michalek, Robidas, Polak and Hunwich all UFAs

 

[DopeyFish]

what's really dumb about this is IIHF has agreed to pay for all costs relating to NHL players

NHL is being stupid wanting to allow mentions of their clubs and use highlights

 

[MetatronM]

I'm sure we'll happily pay the fine for Zucc's 2 week absence during the Olympics next year.

You think they're leaving?

Are you ready for a team of Drew Shore, Curtis Glencross, Dan Cleary, Dany Healey, Manny Malholtra to lead us to Olympic Gold?

 

[ZeroGravity]

I feel so fucking bad for Stamkos. Missed the last two because of not being selected and injury, won't be able to participate in the next two either.

 

[Marvie_3]

Thank fuck. No more mid-season two-week breaks.

This. Fuck the olympics.

 

[ShaneB]

Thank fuck. No more mid-season two-week breaks.

Agreed.

Don't care one bit.

Some of the drama next January/February over some of the players wanting to go but if their owner won't let them (ie. Norrisson) could be good.

������

You think they're leaving?

I could see one of them being resigned, but not both

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Arizona only two points behind Vancouver now, but Vancouver has a game in hand.

Now if New Jersey could win a game that'll be great.
