Islanders @ Leafs - Nov. 19th, 7:00pm - SN, TSN 1050

Nonis should sign that linseman.

nice hit on tavares by kuli

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Tavares introduced to the linesman's cup there.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Nice move by Holland right there.

 

[Jalili]

Kulemin is too strong for his own good. Beast.

 

[moon111]

Am I the only one who keeps on thinking of this guy?
Heck does anyone even know who this is?

Is that Motor City Smitty?  Wow he's gotten old.  Guess we all have.

Man the post has been our best friend the last few games 

 

[moon111]

Just read a story to the boys, packed their lunch, brushed their teeth and put them to bed.  Don't think the shot total for the Leafs has changed.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

That's why Kessel doesn't take slap shots very often.

 

[Deebo]

When Kadri and Bozak return, they will go with Kadri, Bozak, McClement at centre.

I wonder who the last centre will be. Smithson, Holland and Smith are the candidates.

Yes, it is so concerning.

 

[bustaheims]

Flu boy for the win!

 

[ZBBM]

Kessel is way more effective on the PP when he skates it around like that.

 

[drummond]

Phil at his best, what a move, what a shot

Smithson is staying for sure I think. Even if he has to go to the wing, his penalty killing and faceoff abilities should keep him in the line-up for awhile. I'm still hoping they drop McClement to the 4th line too and have either Holland or Smith take the 3rd line centre spot.

My guess is Smithson. Or, maybe Carlyle will surprise me and play Smithson on the win, keeping him around as a face-off option, and use Holland on the 3rd line. but, that would mean benching a face puncher, and we both know Carlyle doesn't like doing that.

you may be right, Smithson won all his faceoffs today

I'd say it's between Holland and Smith, with McClement on the 4th line.

Smith probably needs to be on a top 2 line from what we've seen, so Holland?

Shame we can't ditch at least 1 of McLaren/Orr and have one of the "spare" centres, probably Smithson play wing and special teams (I assume Smithson has been taking PK draws?)
