He's the Leafs' shiny new toy so obviously he's the greatest goalie ever which also automatically means he must be Canadian because all the best everythings in hockey are Canadian.

Got a problem?

And Auston Matthews was really fathered by a snowbird from Calgary who hooked up with Mrs. Matthews during a shuffleboard tournament in Sun City AZ. And therefore, Auston is also Canadian.

Look at the Leafs there they go out and, you know get a good Canadian kid like Glenn Anderson to play goal. This guy can really dangle, I tell ya. What a beauty!!

Corrado is leading the team in preseason scoring. Didn't watch the game last night but I heard Carrick put in some great shifts.

Am I going to have to beg these guys to send Roman Polak to the A?

A Czech named Roman Polak should be Russian to play in the Swiss League - He's Finnished in the NHL.

Hey, how's Toronto's other team doing tonight?


Oh god no...

Lams said today Prust won't be on the roster but will practice with the team.

So, assuming Leivo goes on IR (apparently he's hurt? haven't been paying much attention to him) the lineup Wednesday will be something like:

JVR-Kadri-Nylander
Komarov-Bozak-Michalek
Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Martin-Holland-Brown
? (Pulkkinen )

Gardiner-Carrick
Marincin-Rielly
Hunwick-Zaitsev
Corrado/Polak

Andersen
Enroth

Flip Nylander and Marner and Kadri and Bozak and those are the lines I think. I'd also love to see Pulkkinen grabbed.

I read a couple things where Babcock "wasn't his biggest fan" in Detroit but the kid was still a full-time AHLer when Babcock was in Detroit so I doubt that's an issue.

His shot is definitely worth it.

Careful, talking like that got Trump in trouble.

I did a quick search for the two names last night and in the piece I found Babcock seemed rather complimentary towards him, although it was obviously before he'd spent much time with the big club.
