Insterresting stuff from Barbara Underhill. The footage showing the difference in Carter Ashton skating before and after working with Barbara was incredible.

Well, if you think about it, you kind of get an idea of how Rielly would fare against AHL competition by watching the game tonight.

And I've been impressed, more so than in the other little bits I've seen of him.  I have been a big proponent of sending him back, but man ... he sure won't get too much out of another year of junior. 

Still, I guess I can't get on board keeping him up.

Or maybe I can.

I'm feeling inner conflict here.

I think, right now, the biggest issue with keeping him up is playing time. With things as they are now, I'm not sure he'd get enough to make it worth keeping him up. That being said, I'm pretty convinced he won't need any AHL time. Send him back to junior this season and watch him crack the roster easily next season.

Can Leafs reach an agreement with let?s say a Swedish Eliteserien team to "loan" Reilly to give him quality playing time against men in pretty solid league?

I'm relatively certain there's a rule against it. I mean, otherwise, it's something I'm sure we would have seen before with prospects that weren't drafted out of European leagues.

Hey Drummond, will Mrazek play for Czech in Sochi?

With Vokoun having most probably career ending injury he has a shot especially if he makes the Red Wings and steals the back up job from Gustavsoon. He was among seven goalies at the orientation camp in late August.

There is a lot to like from MacWilliam, his physicality is great, seems to pick his spots perfectly without getting caught out of position.

Nice tip from Leivo.

Thanks. I missed the news about Vokoun, what happened to him?

He can easily make Holzer expendable

Has Liles always been #26?  Its been so long since I've seen him play that I don't even remember.

Liles was 24 last season.

 

[Zee]

Ah yes #24. That seems familiar now.

That's some serious stuff.  You don't want one of those things to bust loose and start free-ranging around the ol' bod.

You're in mid season form Barney.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Leivo looks promising tonight.

 

[lamajama]

Leivo looks promising tonight.

He's had a great camp. His star is a-rising...!

 

[ZBBM]

So ... what about Colborne?  Will he clear?  A couple of assists tonight, but as Healy said, he's never caused my jaw to hang open slackly.
