Jonas Gustavsson will play two periods on Saturday, but a decision with goaltending coach Francois Allaire will be made to determine whether he needs some AHL conditioning. Viktor Stahlberg will likely start in the NHL, while Tyler Bozak and Christian Hanson appear headed to the AHL's Toronto Marlies. Nazem Kadri will likely be sent back to the OHL's London Knights Saturday or Sunday. - TSN

Glad to see Stahlberg is probably going to stay up. He has been absolutely flying in these preseason games. He's worth a look up in the NHL. I was hoping out of the other three that Bozak would stay up but I'm fine with the decision. No need to rush him yet, he'll be up here soon enough.

They should let Kadri play the regular season opener, it would be a good experience for him and would let the fans get more excited for the future

15. New York Islanders. For the most part, I honestly like what Garth Snow has done since taking over as Isles GM. And I understand an NHL-high 582 man-games lost to injury led to many of the problems that made this organization the league’s second-worst goal-scoring crew and third-worst goal-preventing group last season. Unfortunately, the Islanders still are paying for too many past mistakes made by previous management to dream about a post-season berth, let alone climbing out of the Atlantic Division basement.

They certainly won't be a playoff team, but I dont think they'll be the worst team in the league again either, if for no other reason than they wont be counting on AHL-level goaltenders for the entire season.

Aside from that, I've got the 2nd pick in my fantasy hockey draft (#1 is definitely takin' Ovechkin). If I have to take a Penguin, I'm taking Geno - but should I take Datsyuk instead?

Do goals give more points than assists? If no take Geno, he or Crosby will lead the NHL in assists.

If PIM = points then take Geno. Datsyuk has like 20 PIM maximum every year.

Wife comes down into the living room late in the game and sees tears in my eyes. "Are you crying?" she asks me. All I could meekly get out was "the Monster is real, the Monster is real"

She wasn't impressed but I don't give a shit, this guy is the real deal. Holy fuck 2 on 0 breakaway with a 2-1 lead what a huge save. I still have tears in my eyes as I type this. I haven't seen a young goalie in Toronto like this before. Ever.

All the Leaf bashers better wake the fuck up cause we got a team here. The Leafs are back and we're not going away.

Dude that was the only breakaway all game - Detroit was getting outworked, and the neutral zone was congested all game long

Looks like equal weight to goals & assists and no points for PIMs (Weekly H2H). Think i gotta take Malkin here...
