Don't get me wrong, I loved hockey fights as much as the next guy.

But I don't miss this crap at all. I'm glad they are getting it out of the game.

How are going to get fans into the game?

anybody else having trouble logging into parler today?

ELC's are one-way pay, right? Meaning that it won't matter to Robertson if he's up or down in terms of actual salary, but it will save us on cap.

Doing that to guys with two-way contracts would be pretty crappy.

I don't think they have a single two-way contract.

It's been a bit of an organizational philosophy - they want the Marlies to be just as professional as the Leafs.

I always just assumed it was because they hope a player is less likely to be claimed if he has to be paid NHL $$ in the AHL

a lot of teams (sens) dont want to pay AHL players big $$

thats just my guess

Looks like we’re down to 15 forwards and 11 d

That's actually a pretty good guess.

I guess as a result of all the reading I've been doing about the Capitol attack, I'm now getting extremely creepy ads her on Hockeybuzz. Cargo pants with far too many topics, and t-shirts with American flags and that punisher skull thingy and frightening slogans.

There are 2 days that follow Friday.... Saturday and Sunday typically.

to each their own I guess.
to me, the non staged! fighting is more part of hockey than some of the antics of the younger generation

e.g.:






i prefer the fighting.

Has there been any announcement about opening night line-ups? From what's happened, and such, I am guessing (assuming Kerfoot is good to go):

Thornton - Matthews - Marner
Vesey - Tavares - Nylander
Hyman - Kerfoot - Mikheyev
Barabanov - Spezza - Simmonds

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Holl
Lehtonen - Bogosian

Now, I would probably pick Engvall over Barabanov, but where is he? I thought he'd be the 4C if Kerfoot was injured.

Judging by that lineup it looks like engvall was already cut.

+ Vesey on the 2nd line sucks.

I don't understand how a player like Engvall that actually played well in playoffs is sent down and Vesey is on the roster.

seems again like the Leafs prospects don't get a fair chance, and Leafs go with the 'outside players are always better' approach..


Moore
Leivo
Timashov
Engvall

all at least as good as Vesey imo

Engvall has been pretty meh since his hot start...at best the and vesey are equal, but maybe also $$ as Engvall makes more money..which also seems strange

also...fans get up in arms about who is on team gm 1, but it really doesnt matter.. they will all get a chance at some point...they just need to make it count

I can't pass judgement on Vesey until I see his versatility. But I will say optically, Engvall and Mikheyev were significantly better than Vesey has demonstrated on the PK historically. I think Vesey is still better than Moore, Leivo or Timashov. Vesey has scored more than 15 goals three times (17,17,16). Timashov, Moore and Engvall combined have scored 20 in their careers.

How many penalties are the Habs supposed to take for this to happen? 7?

That's probably 9 penalties too many.
