Sorry about the formatting, need to learn how to embed a tweet more better.

This should make Leafs nation happy.

Young blood! That's the one thing about having set roster positions for a long period of time. Some of the vets get a little complacent (Bozak, JVR, D). I'm sure Josh and Kap will be skating and banging!

For tweets, you just need to click on it in twitter and then just copy and paste the url here straight up. It doesn't function as a pic.

And Herman, EYE apprectiated your fantasy trade. It's fun

I don't like it. Who's going to engage in a meaningless bout with the opposing team's 4th line enforcer after a skilled player on a different line receives a strong, clean bodycheck???

Nice to see Leivo and Kapanen in the lineup.  Not so nice that the only way they can get in is due to injury.  Especially with the pretty crappy play from the 3rd/4th lines.

Naz's band back together, Paddy stabilizer on Bozak's line and youth explosion for the 4th.

GO LEAFS GO

Hmmmm, wonder if he's being nice, or just really pissed off.

After last game I'm guessing it's the latter

 

[cujo4ever]

That Marner Bozak Marleau line should be fun to watch

Apparently he wanted the players to "save their energy for the game. Not for picking up pucks and goofing off." ;D

Dream scenario: Martin is still nicked up for the upper body ailment that pulled him from most of the back half of the last game.

Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Komarov - Kadri - Brown
Marleau - Bozak - Marner
Leivo - Moore - Kapanen

And then following the game, the Leafs announce a trade of JvR for Travis Sanheim and a 1st, both of whom are immediately parlayed with Bozak for Duchene with 2M retained by the Avs, and maybe throw in Valiev, which fulfills 3.5 of the 4 requirements Sakic has been asking for: ?a first-rounder, quality young defenseman, proven NHLer and top prospect?.

Half the dream has come true!

 

[Zee]

No Matt Martin, is this real life?

 

[mr grieves]

The truth is, I don?t even want Duchene. I just want to get rid of JvR and Bozak productively.

The biggest I'm allowing myself to dream: a couple late firsts, a Carrick-esque young defenseman, and a Rychel-grade prospect.

Productive enough for me.

Thanks! I pulled it out of my butt!

Lots of derriere talk so far in this thread.

If kapanen goes in the lineup ahead of Leivo, then just waive the guy so he can have a chance at a career somewhere.

Haha, seriously EVERYBODY thought that this is what was happening, right?

Per Shilton, both JVR and Martin are out for injury reasons:

Hopefully that 4th line impresses enough to make Babcock consider doing it a little more often.

"Mad at me," eh?

Babcock is often pretty weird in the way he talks about his large sons and their roster spots...

I recall from the end of camp, on Leivo: "He?s got to take someone else?s job... I guess we could go around the room and ask a few guys who wants to give him their job."

It just might be fantasy.

No escape from the reality that Leivo has 10 points in last 9 NHL games.

I'm just glad the poor boy is getting some ice time.
