As Potvin has pointed out, and Wilson will probably tell you the same, that the Leafs have had virtually no time to work on their special teams, certainly not as a team. When the cuts are made tomorrow and the near completed team is practicing everyday, you'll probably see some better movement and squads start to form.

Yeah we all know Wilson can whip special teams into shape!

Judging by his history in the league, that statement is true.

There might be hope with some of the new assistants I guess.

Like him or not, at least be fair to him. Nice that you expect the Marlies defense to kill every penalty against an almost full Buffalo team in pre-season.
 
Armstrong's hit on Thomas Vanek could be up for a review.  Armstrong incurred a charginig penalty on the play.

I didn't like that hit on Colborne in front of Goose earlier in the period, that could have seriously hurt the kid. No wonder everything has gotten kind of chippy tonight.

Yeah, scores!

#Sabres Boyes called to carpet for head hit vs #Leafs. Word out of Buff is he has a scheduled #NHL hearing today. And the beat goes on...

Looks like Shanahan agrees with you.

Good, I was kind of surprised that Colborne got up as quick as he did. Even if nothing comes out of it, it is at least being reviewed and Boyes is on notice. It looked very dangerous.
 
I didn't think he looked that bad, not great, anything in particular you noticed?

For Keith I don't think the pre season so far is much of a determining factor, fwiw, he handled some big minutes against top lines last year and didn't look out of place.
 
Wow, I wonder if we might need a 'disciplinary moves' thread this season, for all the hearings and outcomes and what (we think) should be further reviewed........

Suspended 2 preseason games.

looking at the suspensions I am starting to think Shanahan is a Leafs fan, mess with us and get suspended! *knocks on wood*

Well he is from Mimico, so I'd say he grew up being a Leafs fan.  :D

I'm gonna watch it but the team looks half complete.

Btw, no one answered the question about Buffalo being over the cap.

With Morrisonn and Kotalik on waivers and heading to the AHL when they clear, they won't be over the cap by the time the season starts, and that's all that really matters for them

I can't believe Kotalik has an NTC. Insanity. Did they take on his contract just to get Regehr?
