Game Notes

DAL
?Khudobin (1-1-0, 3.02 GAA, .898 Sv%) will start for the Stars
?The Stars are expected to juggle their lines for this one so those projected ones aren't written in stone
?Benn and Seguin have a combined 3 points in Dallas' last 7 games, and might be split up in the line shuffling
?Carrick blocked a shot with his foot the other day and has been out of action since then.

TOR
?Andersen (6-4-0, 2.53 GAA, .919 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Babcock swapped Marner and Kapanen on the lines at practice yesterday, so Marner is expected to play with Tavares again
?Babs also changed the PP units up a little bit. Tavares will play in Matthews' old spot while Marleau gets the net spot on PP1. Hyman will take the net spot on PP2
?Hainsey will be playing in his 1,000th NHL game tonight

Injuries

Well, no Radulov helps the Leafs.

Dermott still sick? Is he a healthy scratch?

ITS DERMOTT-HOLL TIME!!!

Nice. Hopefully Babcock starts using all 8 defencemen more effectively. No one should be getting the pre-2018 Leivo treatment there.

Maybe Holl and Dermott should play forward? Production from the bottom 6 couldn't get any worse.

Favourite week of the year, our clocks have changed so face off is 11pm, excellent!

After Halloween is when all the Holliday music kicks in.

This is pretty excellent lineup shenaniganning. Dallas really only has 1 line, and now, sans Radulov, it's a good opportunity to ease in 3rd pairing options.

I liked Marincin this stretch of play, and Ozhiganov at times. Still holding out hope of Hainsey getting some rest eventually (Marincin had a couple of shifts with Rielly at times when we were chasing the score).

Looking for Holl to keep his goals per game average here.

So after one game of trying Kapenen on the power play, Babcock is  replacing him with Hyman.

Remarkable.

I often wondered who the whipping boy would be when Polak and Komorov departed, so I guess we're settling on an 8-4 coach?

It's like Babcock's grumpy-old-bastardness is being compounded by the youth movement of this team. He cannot get over "veteran leadership", "hard work" and "gud-pro-approach" as the foundation of a team. Let the kids play dammit!

Congrats to Boss Hainsey.

Congrats on his choice of spouse.....

She's a very pretty lady.

Holl of a game coming right up!  8)

 

[Bill_Berg]

Marner looking good tonight so far.

 

[Al14]

Hyman on the power play, nice!

Nice line change breakout facilitated by Gardiner?s puck control and skating.
