Some minor changes to the forward lines:

JVR-Bozak-Parenteau
Holland-Kadri-Komarov
Matthias-Froese-Boyes
Grabner-Spaling-Winnik

Did these changes happen during the St. Louis game? I missed it. Would be weird for Babcock to tinker like that after a win otherwise.

I do like the idea of Holland playing wing though, especially in a top-6 role. I've been calling for that experiment for awhile now.

Yeah, they ran Holland with Kadri in St. Louis, and JvR with Bozak, but not on every shift. It certainly sparked Holland to playing more assertively (he really needs to line up with skilled players).

I actually think Ray Ferraro is a pretty good analyst but "The Devils top line has scored a majority of their goals, 30 of 69."

 

[Tigger]

Kind of like the Liberal majority.

 

[Kin]

You know, there may not be a player in the NHL I like less than Lee Stempniak.

Jeff O'Neill "The book is out on Garrett Sparks".

After 3 games?

 

[ZBBM]

Lee Stempniak is nothing if not persistent.  I believe he played for the Leafs once, back in '80s.

Jeff O'Neill "The book is out on Garrett Sparks".

That might bother me if I thought that Jeff O'Neill knew what a book was.

Is there a book on Cory Schneider?  If so, maybe the Leafs could buy it.

Error -- shortstop

Mandela strikes again

 

[Kin]

Apparently that book is Finnegan's Wake.

 

[Tigger]

Getting off the Schneid, the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[Highlander]

Cory made a tribute gaffe to Nuckles Bernier on that one?what a goal. 

 

[herman]

Great PP chances for the Leafs.

Either that or Mike Mulligan and the Steam Shovel.  I'll bet both are on O-Dog's Kindle.

 

[Highlander]

Sort of looking at this every few minutes and seeing the Leafs in the Devils zone most of the time.
