Mason Raymond sits third on the Leafs in scoring and yet starts tonight's game on the fourth line, replaced by David Clarkson on 2nd unit.

Maximize the offense!

 

[Arn]

Did a Leafs 4th line just have some offensive zone pressure?

Or my expectations that low I jus thought they did?

 

[L K]

One way or another a change really needs to be made.  I like Carlyle's solution of playing Fraser though.  He's only been god awful all year.

 

[ZBBM]

There are a couple of guys on this team who should never pinch.  Fraser.  And, frankly, Phaneuf.  Every time he tries to do too much, bad things happen.  If he plays a very conservative game, then he's pretty effective.

If you struggled to produce offense last night the obvious solution is to bring in a slow, defensive defenceman in favour of a quicker puck-mover and move your 3rd leading scorer to the 4th line so that your slow, 6 point FA signing can play with your career 4th line C on the 3rd line.

Are you criticizing the coaching?  Because, read a certain way, this sounds like criticism of the coaching.

 

[Tigger]

Is Liles banged up?

It's really just a hypothetical.

Put Clarkson in the pressbox...

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Is holding the stick a suspendable offence?

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Clarkson.  Bringing it.

 

[L K]

Hey, Clarkson took a penalty.  He's pretty good at that.  What a dumb penalty.

 

[lamajama]

In this case we hope so.

 

[Damian]

I guess he's working on $5M worth of PIMs

Point taken.

I'm really not a big fan of Smith on the PK. There's much better options.

Hpw about # 3 and 4 as your first pairing? Oi

Bleeds.  Blue.  And.  Whiteness.

Call that slashing the stick penalty for years except right there.
