The Tank is serious to play Cowen over Marincin and Greening over Boyes.

I really like what I saw from Froese in the Calgary game. He might turn out to be a real nice addition.

 

[Highlander]

Hope McDavid scores a hat trick tonight!

McDavid said he had "an embarrassing" amount of Leaf stuff in his bedroom as a kid. Dad bought him a No. 97 sweater.

He was one god-damn ball away...

 

[Highlander]

When Stammer is ready to retire, McDavid will follow him here.

 

[LuncheonMeat]

No Kadri on the ice today. Anyone know what's up?

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Paul Hendrick @HennyTweets
Kadri lower body will not play, Cowen's hips need loosening and he won't play tonight. Marincin and Corrado remain on 3rd pair. #TMLtalk

Cowen haha.

So the line-up is:

Grabner-Holland-Komarov
Greening-Arcobello-Parenteau
Winnik-Spaling-Leivo
Clune-Froese-Boyes

Hunwick-Rielly
Gardiner-Polak
Marincin-Corrado

Bernier

That has to be one of the worst line-ups a NHL team has iced in decades.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

This should provide
An excellent opportunity for one of those
Nights for McDavid that we'll all be telling our
Kids about one day.

That has to be one of the worst line-ups a NHL team has iced in decades.

For all the screen printers on TMLfans, I suggest a t-shirt be made with tonight's starting lines and some reference to pain. Because this is definitely it.

I want to hear RedLeaf deny that this is a bottom-5 team now.

I know eh?

Even if Leafs had 99% chance winning a McDavid lottery I would expect them to loose... it's just the Maple Leaf way. Remember Gilmour's triumphant return for a legit playoff run that lasted 5 minutes.

 

[Bullfrog]

Go Holland!

Cowen out, Marincin in.

Given how relentlessly depressing that lineup is, here is a fun little trick shot challenge/Ford commercial with Kadri and Rielly.

That was great! Calling the GoPro shot in Down the Hatch was pretty epic.

Totally watching tonight's leaf-pile fire for the sweet, sweet McDavid action.

What we've learned of Ottawa's development system so far:

1. They don't do 'skill' drills in practice.
2. Their players don't stretch.

Here's a fun old Shanahan commercial...

As per Pierre LeBrun - "Bernier out with explosive diarrhea. Saw line-up sheet. Will not play."

Darren Dreger reports - "Coach Mike Babcock overheard at practice telling assistant coaches he's 'not getting paid enough for this shit'. (quote)"
