Game 7: Capitals @ Leafs 7:00PM Sportsnet Ontario

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Kostka was nowhere on the Leafs depth chart until camp.  He turned Carlyle's head and has gotten scads of icetime with our supposed #1 stud.  Holzer has more upside and would be better defensively.

I never said Kostka is the biggest problem on the team -- Lord knows we have plenty.  But he's a helluva lot closer to being an AHL journeyman than an NHL regular, let alone a first pairing guy. 

I tend to agree that he should not be on the first powerplay or the first pairing, but to suggest he hasn't looked at the very least a competent part of a top six, makes you look silly.

He has not been bad playing a lot, no reason to think he would be bad with a reduced simplified role.

I can see those 5 patrolling our blue line down the road

Wow does Koskta ever suck. Hes the reason why we're not winning the game  :

I was gonna give you real (albeit goodnatured) crap for this post.......until I got to the  : at the end and clued in

You need to read previous posts more carefully before shooting off your mouth.  I am happy to give credit where it's due, but it doesn't change my overall opinion.

Can anyone see a Capital PP coming up?

I highly doubt he's going to figure in our long-term plans.

EDIT: As opposed to Kadri & Frattin.

What a goal!

<no Frattin Bear>

oh dear, I guess I better get on that.....

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

WOW that was a nice goal.

Carlyle is using them well with their high OZ starts, faces easier competition and is taking advantage.

 

[pnjunction]

Awesome!!!  Frattin strikes again he's got the finish right now

Kadri with the moves

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

yeah ..i'd hate to see more of frattin and kadri.................WOW

 

[L K]

We need more Orr and less Kadri/Frattin

 

[barney_rebel]

We rule man

 

[bustaheims]

I've missed those.

How do you think I feel? I hope it becomes a regular thing again.

 

[azzurri63]

That's it Carlyle leave those 2 on the bench some more. Have no idea what these coaches are thinking some times.

 

[lc9]

Kadri says give me that point lead back, Kulemin.  Frattin with another one, how about that.  Pucks are going in.

 

[bustaheims]

Man, when Frattin gets going, he gets going. Kid has skills.
