Game 45: Ottawa Senators vs Toronto Maple Leafs 7:00 SNET-O

The ONLY thing I can see is that Komisarek quit hockey when he found out was not playing.  No-one could possibly take his contract?

I wouldn't put it past Wilson to be a jerk and have Kessel wear an A just to get the media fired up about that.

Well, the teams needs a 2nd alternate captain with Komisarek not playing, and players that aren't playing generally aren't on the ice for the pre-game skate. Not really any subterfuge there.

You can play without a Captain but not without a 2nd alternate?

You can go with 1 alternate but it's very rare. The Leafs have always gone with 2 alternates. Armstrong and Komisarek are the original alternates, but both Kessel and Grabs have worn the letter when those two were out.

In that situation, teams generally go with 3 alternates.

It's not a rule, per se, but, it's something the Leafs have done with regularity. It has no deeper meaning than the team wanting 2 alternates in the lineup.

Reimer is in net tonight!

Doesn't this mean you're cheating?

 

[Arn]

Didn't realise the Sens were on such a good run. We better be on it tonight...

Is it too early to post that I hate Neil or whatever that goof's name is...

nope.

and no, I'm not 'cheating'. OptimusReim is just my favourite Leaf goalie.

But -- Brian said Kenopkas are obsolete.

 

[Arn]

That was pretty pointless really

He's not a goon.  He can also win faceoffs.

 

[Erndog]

The Sens allow a ton of shots.  Itd be nice if we start hitting the net.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Yeah, most of Konopka's are.

 

[lamajama]

I'm gonna lead with my stick from now on..you know...for extra length.

 

[Sucker Punch]

Oh that wasn't pretty.

 

[Erndog]

See!  Just hit the Freaken net
