Lucky to be down by just 1... Kessel however, is the best man on either team tonight so far I think.

I think it was a good point, when the announcers said that Kessel is getting a little more respect for his skills. I've noticed this season that players are backing off him a bit, which is very good sign.

If the Maple Leafs play keeps up the way it has the past four we'll be having Ryan Murray vs. Nail Yakupov debates in January.

Oh Nik, you know Burke won't let that happen...

True. He'll probably trade the pick for Kyle Turris.

For me, at this point, I don't think Goose will be well served in the A for a whole season, when he came over for sure but now I think it's mostly counter productive, he needs to play in the NHL and determine his fate, one way or the other ( and for those keeping score, it's not a certainty on both faces )

Well, I'm obviously less concerned about what is best for Gustavsson and more concerned about what is best for the Leafs, and, that might be Gustavsson being sent to the AHL and someone else holding the backup role - whether it be Scrivens or someone outside the organization, I don't know.

For sure but I'm not sure backing off of Kessel is the way I'd play him but whatever.... I'll take it.

Ok, I'll buy that from the Leafs perspective if Goose doesn't hold his own by the 20-ish-y game mark, fair?

I suppose, though, I think how he fares for the rest of the time that Reimer is out will be telling enough for me.
