Goodbye Johnsson and Kapanen.

Mikheyev, here's your cheque.

Ja, that was pretty juicy.  Wrist looks OK to me.

I was taught in floor hockey that your feet are two extra sticks

That was a really great little play by Mikheyev.

Mickey's having himself a game. Looking good. Mitch looks slick as ever.

Frank probably won't know how to feel about this one.

 

[Frank E]

Garbage.

What was the score? 14-11?  Do we need to worry about defending?

We have more firepower than The Wild Bunch.

Remembering Hockey has become Witnessing Hockey again. And it's awesome.

I don't know about you, but provisionally I'm going with the interpretation that these sequences are indicative of actual forthcoming competitive play.

Except my boy Rassy looked kind of useless on a couple of those.  :-X :-X

Keefe has some good things to say about Robertson and his adaptation to NHL play, Kapanen?s pop, and Spezza?s spezziness

At the bottom of this Keefe talks a bit about Johnsson and mentions that he's been skating "for a better part of a month now on the ice". I just assumed that clip of him skating a few days ago was the first time he'd been back on the ice.

Don't further damage the trade goods.

I can't believe I'll be watching hockey in a few days.

 

[Bullfrog]

Ya. I'll have to figure out how, because I finally cut the cable cord.

Well well well

Exhibition game on the 28th will allow an extra forward and defenseman. Fully expect to see the Robertson-Engvall-Gauthier question be played out on the ice; 7th defenseman is either Sandin or Marincin and I?m thinking it?ll be Sandin for exhibition because we know what Marty brings.

Really wasn't sure Robertson would get in game 1, but looks like he's forced Keefe's hand. It's really the most obvious play. This gives the Leafs a lot of flexibility since Engvall can still jump into the 3rd line for defensive situations when need be. Goat just doesn't have a role on the team as a just 4th line guy, especially with Clifford being there as well.
