God, I hate the preseason.
It's a damn shame the Leafs feel the need to play so many preseason games just to make a buck!Floyd said:Hockey_gal said:

This is what happens when you play 1 million preseason games.
On a completely separate note does Connolly have a concussion?
From Rotoworld:
Tim Connolly (upper body) skated on his own for about 20 minutes on Thursday.
It was the first time he took to the ice since falling head first into the end boards behind the goal on Monday at practice. He is listed as day-to-day with what coach Ron Wilson classified as a minor upper-body injury.

If he had a concussion, he wouldn't be back on the ice so quickly. It's more likely that he jammed his shoulder or wrist or something along those lines.

Huh? They have played 6 preseason games, and his injury happened during a practice when he fell on his own, into the boards??? 9 of the 30 teams have played 6 games. Another 12 teams have played 5 so far. So 21 of 30 teams have played the same amount or one fewer game. That doesn't even factor in that the first 2-3 games were pretty much mish-mash of prospect assessment.

Well, for the record, Kadri's injury didn't happen in practice, it was mid-way through the 3rd against Ottawa.

Nah, I mean, would it be any better if he hurt it in practice, in a game, or falling down the stairs at home? An injury is an injury.

I was reading the TSN article about the Leafs and was surprised how much the Leafs improved over the summer:
Additions: C Tim Connolly, C Matthew Lombardi, D John-Michael Liles, D Cody Franson, C Philippe Dupuis
Subtractions: C Tim Brent, C Christian Hanson, D Brett Lebda, D Danny Richmond, G Jean-Sebastian Giguere
Replace Giguere with Reimer and the Leafs must be better.

A nice little article about Zigomanis' role in the organization:

With Alex Foster off to Europe, Ziggy should be a shoe-in for the Marlies new captain.

I'm sort of unimpressed so far with him... Just plain "blah."

I guess... He hasn't done anything special in my mind though. At the same time, I haven't seen anything bone-head-ish so...

He got half a dozen good scoring chances last night, basically on his own. Were you not watching the game?
