Formatting for this look fine to everyone? For some reason this newest version of the board doesn't allow center/right/left tags to work within tables, which is how I previously formatted the projected lines/scratches/injuries sections. So I had to use a bit of a workaround by doing it through html codes instead.
 
I'm genuinely shocked that Tavares is planning to play today.  Oblique injuries suck.  I trust the team to not play him if he isn't ready but I hope this isn't Tavares just wanting to be out there for opening night.  We need a healthy year out of him.
 
The officiating is brutal.  Matthews gets mauled, no call...Caufield get his stick lifted and that's worth 2 minutes?

The NHL is a joke.

...sorry guys, just getting warmed up...don't mind me.

Agreed. My only guess is that is was a very minor injury.

Go Leafs go!
 
Thanks, Carlton! and thanks tmlfans crew for keeping the lights on

Tavares has been, based on past injury timelines, a quick healer.

Maybe they're just planting the seeds for him to get "injured" in game 1, spend all season on LTIR (cap space SZN), and come back refreshed for the playoffs.

You know who is good at stomping on lesser competition? Willy. Let him fly at 1C for funsies!

Put up some silly challenges: get Kampf a goal; Malgin with a Michigan; every defenseman playing the opposite side after you get to +4G
 
If Marner is going to take over 1 RHD, why can't Justin Holl be our #1 winger on Matthews line?

At 2:58 of that video Tavares talks about the difference between his past oblique injury and this injury which seems more like a contusion.
It seems like he's being sensible and not rushing himself into the lineup backed with some rational medical facts.

I thought he should be on LTIR to be safe if it was a second oblique injury. But it appears to be different and not as severe. Hopefully, that remains to be the case.
