Philadelphia Flyers @ Toronto Maple Leafs - Post Game Instant Reaction

Email
PrintShenanigans abounded. Daniel Carcillo continues his audition for "most hated opponent not wearing a Sens or Habs jersey" and Colton Orr and Garnett Exelby gave the Flyers a taste of truculence. Even Jason Allison had a truculent moment, breaking the helmet of a Flyer.
It seemed to be a closer to NHL ready roster on the Flyers (Daniel Briere, Mike Richards, Scott Hartnell, Chris Pronger, Braydon Coburn, Ray Emery and more big names all dressed for the Flyers) while the Leafs were still a bit of a mish-mash on the forward lines.The Leafs blue line however looked to be what we should get used to for the upcoming season.
Matt Stajan had a great game, giving the #14 faithful more fuel for their pro-Matty desires. Mike Komisarek gave us a sneak peek of what we might be able to expect from his fists. Nazem Kadri tries his best to make Wilson and Burke's decision on his immediate future a tough one. Meanwhile, Vesa Toskala continues to befuddle...I mean, fine tune and warm up. Ya that's it. Oh, and Niklas Hagman continues to be awesome.
How did the Leafs do? Who were the stand outs for you? Have your say in the comments.

How many pre-season goals is that for us now? Because, like, we’re supposed to be struggling to score this season. Like last season when we barely made 10th in the league.
but balanced too
Right before Hagman scored, I was wondering if anyone had scored two yet.

And replace who though? I’m not sure he fits anywhere on the bottom 6.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Johnny on the wing maybe?
I was talking to my friend yesterday and said that I’m still not convinced Stajan is a 2nd line center. I thought he is a 3rd line center and Bozak comes in on the 2nd line……but Stajan certainly tried to prove me wrong tonight. He looks good so far.
And most importantly, the coaching staff have already penciled Stajan in as top-6 forward already. As such, Bozak perhaps fits on the 3rd line as the only possible place. But then we realize he’s fighting Wallin (who looks solid so far), the aforementioned Mitchell, and Stempniak.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
Bozak’s starting in the AHL I think and Mitchell might be on the wing on the third line based on his deployment tonight.

haven’t seen anything. Just got in the door.
Read somewhere that they were meant to make cuts before tonight’s game but I guess not.

Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
Probably. Just missed it because I was heading out the door
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Both Wallin and Stempniak are comfortable on the wing and I think Wallin will be relegated to the 4th line.
The 4th line is even more congested though. Primeau, Orr, Mayers, Ondrus, Rosehill, etc.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
And Wilson already said something that I took as meaning that Primeau-Mayers-Orr was going to be his 4th line.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Yeah fairly certain Ondrus and Rosehill aren’t sticking around
Life as a Toronto Sports Fan?... *sigh*... It is what it is...
Ondrus

Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Yeah. No way in hell Wallin plays 4th line though. Allison made a case to keep him around for the 4th line tonight.
Allison is getting better but he’s still far off of the pace.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
HIDE YOUR BABIES FOLKS
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Oh, no doubt. But Wallin will definitely stick on the 3rd line I think. That means Bozak will have to fend off Mitchell, who Wilson is a big fan of, and Stempniak, who the Leafs want to give him the chance to succeed.
Supporter of the Sergei Berezin "Give and Go" - You give me puck, then you go to hell
I’m waiting to see those cuts before I hypothesize the potential lines.
I still see the russians together on a line. And liking the thought of Stajan with Kessel, and either Blake or Hagman on the other side.
Blake and Hagman are a good pairing. Lots of speed to burn.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.

Wallin can pass through waivers, no other vetran on the Leafs can.
(Bozak, Hanson and Stalberg are all waiver exempt too). I could be way wrong, but I still think waiver status will play a part in who starts with the Leafs and who starts with the Marlies.

Some sent to Juniors as Arch wrote above. But most have to make it to the Marlies as well and they could be further cut to the ECHL.

I think if he does, he’ll be an overager. I’m not certain of this though. If that’s the case, Remparts can only have so many overagers and I don’t know if Stefanovich will be the one chosen.

What you say is interesting. I can’t refute this argument, yet feel somehow compelled not to agree with it.
Maybe because I’m waiting for OLAS to take it.
I’m not sold on OLAS as captain yet. Hagman has two more years, and in the past two games, Kadri’s learned more about how to play at an NHL level than he ever could have dreamed, and it’s all thanks to Hagman.
He’s the offensive sided leader of this team. he’s smart, defensively sound, fast and skilled. If not the C, he needs a permanent A. The kids need to pay attention to that guy.

Having Hagman here for this season and two more and seeing what he did tonight which reminded me how awesome he is I would be completely ok with him being captain for at least the next three years.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
I second that. Also, doesn’t Hagman have a reputation of being fairly quiet? I think I’d much rather have Schenn as the captain, to lead on the ice and in the dressing room. Not this year but next I think he’ll be wearing the C.

But the thing is, Schenn can go out there every single shift and lay opposing players out with devastating hits. Hagman’s highlight reel plays come maybe 3 or 4 times a season. I think Schenn’s actions speak louder than Hagman’s, and on disputed plays when it comes to dealing with referees, Schenn will certainly speak louder than Hagman.

I’d rather let him develop and learn from established veterans. then, when the kids like Kadri, DiDom and Stefanovich come up and the teams core gets younger, those reigns are handed over to him.
There’s nothing Schenn could say to guys like Kabby, Komi, Beauchemin and Hagman that they can’t say themselves, or haven’t heard already by guys 1000x more experienced.
I know everyone is ready to make this Luke’s team, but the truth is, he’s still learning. He’s no Crosby or Toews. All this OLAS/divine inspiration stuff is fun, but the truth is, I don’t see him as a viable captain for the type of guys we’ve got now. Kids who need to learn from someone who’s been doing it awhile.
I don’t think there will be a C this season anyways. I’d be surprised if there’s one next season as well. More than likely, it will be held until the guys upstairs are waiting for Schenn to be ready for the responsibility. There’s more to being the captain of the Leafs than speaking in the dressing room. A lot of off ice expectations that a kid Schenn’s age really shouldn’t be worrying about. I’d rather he focus on improving his game and learning as much as he can from the guys we’ve got.

Post Notes
Nothing Major
Orr – “Thats the way we’re going to play. We play tough and we stand up for each other. Even in preseason, we have each other’s back.”
Hagman – “We’re trying to build a physical mentality, especially at home. 4 games in 4 nights is tough, but the crowd was great and gave us extra energy to get it done.”
Wilson – “(Kadri) Isn’t staying unless he’s in the top-6, and I feel like we’ve got enough guys playing well right now that it won’t be neccessary.”
Wilson – “I’ve been unfair to John Mitchell. He’s been all over the place, and still hasn’t played with his proper linemates.”
Wilson – “Beauchemin doesn’t get enough credit, he has a booming shot… Kaberle hasnt learned how to use him. Beauchemin offers more than Kubina, because he can shoot and make passes just as well as Kabby. Kubina was more of just a shot. We haven’t even had a chance to practice the powerplay with those two together yet. I think this team has a very sneaky level of talent that no one wants to give us credit for, we just need to get the players to believe it.”

I was always a big fan of Tony, I’m pretty sure he was with the Score from near the ground up. It was super cool to see him working near my desk and be like “Holy shit! We got Tony Ambrogio?”
VERY rare for me to get excited about something that has to do with our on-air talent.

Good stuff, Arch. Much appreciated.

I can't believe
They haven’t had a chance to practice with Kaberle/Beauchemin together yet.
They looked THAT DAMN GOOD, and they’d never played together before? That’s ridiculous.
Oh… yeah… add Phil Kessel to that PP too.

They are just both really good players. On the PP Kaberle is similar to Niedermayer.

I think it’s one of the reasons why Kabby has been underrated or at least much maligned by Leafs fans and non-Leafs fans alike past few seasons. Kabby is not a shooter, and never has been in his career. So when the Leafs finally get a guy who can label shots, Kaberle becomes more comfortable.

Managed to hear the first caller on Leafs Talk and he complimented Beauchemin and Kaberle. He was almost finished when he said “Of course, Kaberle needs to shoot more.”

Haven’t heard Leafs Talk in awhile. Is it any less of a disaster than Jays Talk?

I only heard two callers. I listen to it once in a blue moon. I have never heard Jays talk abut I can imagine.
Tonight it was one enthusastic caller and a second that was happy but wants more shooting from Kaberle.

Lol, I was listening to the exact same call on my way home from work. I’m thinking…you still don’t realize that’s not his game? How long has Kaberle been around?

Wow, that blows my mind.
Anyone else drool over the two ridonkulous passes that Kadri made on the late PP that just missed Stemp and Kabby? I jumped off my couch.
Identical to Sergei Berezin in every way, only 1/10 his size.

NO :(
I only met my dad and got in around 6:45 but I am going to the game on Saturday and will be sampling the wares.

Ray Emery
looked very strange in net. he seemed to be purely reactionary, and wasn’t reading the angles too well.
i also thought his cat like pounce on the loose pucks was weird. he kept doing it two handed, letting his stick fall to the ice.

Being at the game tonight was epic! The sheer volume of Kessel jerseys #81 (some even with an A on the chest, too soon???) was in high demand. Loudest preseason crowd I’ve ever seen/heard at the ACC for the Leafs. Awesome. Also Hagman’s first goal was even better in person!

Those people are going to be disappointed when Burke doesn’t let Kessel wear #81…

I was thinking that
but in the Kessel media scrum for his introduction as a Leaf, he pulled on a #81 jersey, so it might be too late.
I think “Kessel 81” is already a bit of a proven commodity, so who knows. Burke may have to just not like it…

I enjoy classic Grabbo much more than new Grabbo myself.

I haven’t felt good about the leafs in a long time.. Everything is falling into place.
BUT Toskala needs to get the boot and Blake Wheeler needs to join his pal in T.O.
Go Houston Rockets!
Gustavsson has already been working out on his own. We should hopefully get to see him soon (medical clearance provided…)
I floated the same thoughts about Wheeler myself. Great minds…
