Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Still can't believe how true this is:
Not shocked that the 2nd line isn't clicking yet, none of them have ever played with each other before now. Still, they better get their act into high gear!
Where were you guys when I posted this exact same thing yesterday?
As for the news, not shocking at all. I'm just happy they're saying Tatar has a future with the Wings.
Cleary on the first line is hilarious but not surprising. I can't understand it. Nobody understands it other than Babcock, apparently. As I said yesterday, there HAS to be a friendly relationship between the two off the ice. It's the only explanation. Cleary adds absolutely no offensive spark whatsoever. Our PP2 (or 1, if that's where he plays) is going to continue to be impotent this year.

Thomas for Lou. I'd do that.
Shit I'd rather Clemmer over Thomas. Shitty goalie be damned, keep that POS off the team.
Goood. Goooooood

Yeah I don't understand this unless Thomas was coming in as a back up??? They had a chance to get Luongo back and they could've lowballed, but then it didn't get done cause I thought they were happy with their young goaltending. And now they pick up Thomas?!
Tallon the new Feaster?

This year Markstrom is the only goalie after Clemmer with NHL experience. We need a proper vet to tandem with Markstrom and Clemmer is not the guy to do that.
Gillis wanted too much for Lou when the time was right for that deal. After that Markstrom is too close to starter duties for Lou's contract to make sense.

Cats line-up for tonight:
Picture cut off after the 1st pairing for the 2nd game. Surprised Weegar is that far up for the org. Flash Barkov Kopecky will be supah hot fiyah.

Leafs "first line" will be playing today
JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Kulemin and Clarkson are playing as well along with Smith, D'Amigo, Ashton, Ross, Crescenzi, McKegg, Bodie.
Defence: Fraser, Gardiner, Rielly, Granberg, Brennan, MacWilliam.
No idea what potential pairings or line combos could be.

No more exposed back pad for Ovechkin.

Marek Hrivik is an undrafted Slovak the Rangers signed who used to play for Moncton I believe.
Per Jonas Siegel:
JVR-Bozak-Kessel
McKegg-Smith-Clarkson
D'Amigo-Ashton-Kulemin
Ross-Crescenzi-Bodie
Gardiner-Brennan
Rielly-Granberg
Fraser-MacWilliam
And there is word Bernier should start tonight.
AV sounds pretty high on him too.
carlyle sounds pissed at the compete level this morning
He's going to work them to the bone. Expect a gassed team soon.
Honestly its better to get everyone going now instead of having a 0-9-2 start to the season
Thanks wilson

I've seen a lot of praise for him. He would have been in mini-camp last season if not for a concussion. A lot of high praise from Jeff Angus at DobberHockey as well. I'm excited about these guys. Him, Lindberg, Kristo, Fast, McIlrath.
God I hate this line. Saddens me that is the first line that Therrien is going to force down our throat all season. Two smurfs and a big guy who no longer thinks he needs to play big. Essentially three smurfs unless Pacioretty becomes the player he was 2 years ago again.
I'm happy with lines 2, 3, 4, but line 1? Disgusting.
Can't wait to see Gardiner and Rielly run the powerplay
Put your 2 inch french dick in a blender and hit frappee, David. Fuck you.
Welp you gave me a boner just thinking about that.
:lol
Forwards:
Joe Pavelski
Andrew Desjardins
James Sheppard
Anthony Stewart
Adam Burish
John McCarthy
Tomas Hertl
Brodie Reid
Tommy Wingels
Travis Oleksuk
Daniil Tarasov
Freddie Hamilton
Defense:
Jason Demers
Scott Hannan
Matt Irwin
Nick Petrecki
Dylan DeMelo
Matt Pelech
Goalies:
Alex Stalock
Harry Sateri
Excited to see Hertl, Hamilton, Tarasov, Petrecki, Oleksuk, and Stalock play. Also curious to see how Pavs, Wingels, Demers, Hannan, Burish, Desi, and Irwin fare at being the veteran leadership tonight. I'm really hoping Demers has a good outing, we need him to be great this year. Overall looks like kind of a crappy team on paper :lol, not Florida terrible but still bad.
I think the top line will be Hertl-Pavs-Wingels since they were running that in camp. Then that'll become our third line when the season starts.

Tinordi really impressed last night, glad to know the coaches want to see more, maybe it's not so far fetched that he makes the opening night roster.
Hopefully Christian Thomas has a good game, because I'm still upset they traded Kristo.

Why are you upset about getting TT? Is it because he is such a horrible person, because he will be a huge upgrade over anything you guys had last year at goalie.
It's funny because Florida is probably TT's dream destination.
Wings/Penguins toniiiiiiiiiiiiiiight yeeeeees! Hockey's back baby!

He may be an upgrade, 40yrs old and hasn't played in 17 months. Dude is also a circus act, Tallon preaches character like a mantra so Thomas seems like just the opposite.
#Truthfact South Florida is staunchly "blue."
Technically, this is worst case scenario. Having Thomas around the team, but not actually playing. He's a good goalie, but the off-the-ice bullshit is the problem.

Worst case scenario is to send Markstrom down if the team doesn't want to eat Clem's contract in the minors if there is no suitor for a trade. I also hope the evaluation is fairly long to see if he can still play. I hope we don't get hung on a Kovalev type contract like last year.
:lol No it isn't.
