Red Wings:

Franzen-Zetterberg-Hudler
Helm-Filppula-Samuelsson
Kopecky-Draper-McCarty
Leino-Emmerton-Maltby

Lidstrom-Rafalski
Lilja-Lebda
Ericsson-Meech

Conklin should play whole game.

Here are the Leafs' forward lines from practice:

Antropov-Blake-Ponikarovsky
Grabovski-Mitchell-Tlusty
Hagman-Mayers-Hollweg
Stajan-Steen-White
Devereaux-Bell-Rogers

No word on the defenders but Finger and Kubina are out.

Steen and Stajan will be on a line with Ian White tonight. Weird.

With Kubina and Finger out and maybe Petiot in the lineup I would go with the over on the # of goals.

That clip...

is just plain mean.
Reminding us of moments of pure joy… who knows when we’ll see that kind of thing again?
sad sigh

wait what

White = wing?

Domi confused now.

Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing

I’m confused why there are 15 forwards mentioned…no defence at all tonite? Toskala stand tall?

Those are the lines from practice. A line will be scratched.

Me thinks this is White’s last chance to make the team.

Hockey's Future Top 50 Fall 2008 Prospects List.

Just though I’d mention how are Leaf prospects are ranked on hockeysfuture.com – I’ll go from worst to best so as to end up a brighter note lol.

Pogge (not in the top 50) – last year, ranked 23rd.
Jiri Tlusty (ranked 43) – last year was not ranked in top 50
Nikolai Kulemin (ranked 25) – last year, ranked 42nd
Luke Schenn (ranked 16) – last year, not ranked (for obvious reasons)

On a side note, just for the heck of it.

Tukka Raask (ranked 14) – last year, ranked 8th
Bobby Ryan (ranked 13) – last year, ranked 10th

Welcome

Thanks for joining.

Things are looking up I guess. Would have liked to make that Ryan trade.

lol thanks, i've been a big fan of the blog since last year. Joined a couple of months ago I think and check it pretty much everyday. I'll start commenting more often once university stuff settles down a bit.

Ian White

He can’t play D so I guess they’ll try and fit him in somewhere else. Richard Peddie must have a soft spot for him. Personally, I’d give him a job in the ACC kitchen and call it a day.

He’d probably drop the food.
