NHL October 2015 |OT| Dan Cleary was re-signed

Larkin already a +6.

I'm also happy to finally have a coach who switches lines up early when they aren't working.

Well Bab's switches lines too, he just does it about 40 times a game. Blash keeps his lines for the most part but switches them when absolutely necessary.

Angie Griffin, she of the giantswin.gif, aswin.gif and yankeesareoff.gif fame. She's the penultimate win gif. All other win gifs can only dream of being as wingiffy.

Careful, though. This is a rabbit hole than once you go down, you can never emerge from.

If she's the penultimate win gif, who is the ultimate?

Babcock really loves his matchups. He went HARD against the Turris line with Lupul/Spaling/Winnik

no other forward line for the Leafs got a significant amount of minutes against them, and surprisingly they didn't fare too badly either. Lupul in a checking role? weird, but...

he also sheltered Phaneuf and Gardiner from the Turris line, which is kind of odd. Rielly and Hunwick were used primarily against them.

God I hope your right.
Every season Friedman brings up some stat about how teams that are out of the playoffs after the first 10-15 games have something like of 20% chance of getting into the playoffs by the end of the season. Will probably change now with 3 on 3, I'll try and find the exact stat

Kadri on with Maclean right now

Edit: Apparently Ottawa is starting their rookie goalie as well to try and counter act the classic first goalie game vodoo

Karlsson still looking like Jack Sparrow, even if he dropped the long hair.

edit: Oh yeah great follow that with boos, how smart.

I'm hoping for the sake of our draft pick, Pitt figures it out when they get back home. Opening the season on the road, in a different conference, can be challenging... (is the excuse I'm inventing on the spot)

It wouldn't surprise me to see Kessel get a hat trick in that game for starters.

We have 5 picking moving defensemen, then we have Emelin.


Trying to chip it off the boards to get it out of the zone way too much still

The "safe" play, which results in a turnover 80% of the time.

I thought Byron was going to play tonight?

Emelin can't cherry pick, i'm not even sure he knows he's playing most of the time
That was suppose to say puck moving defensemen :lol stupid iPad

He was suppose too, but Therrien said the 4th line has played too well to change it now.

Yes! So glad to see Plek doing well, was worried he might not be up to it this season for some reason.

I'm back from thanksgiving dinner. How's Condon doing?

Doing great, very much in control of his movements unlike Tok.
