It just seems wrong to put our two biggest centre's, and forwards for that matter, on the same line.  I think Dupuis is a better winger than a centre.

Thats a terrible line up.

 

[princedpw]

yeah ... when 8 of your 12 forwards might be playing in the minors if you had a better team, it doesnt look promising

It's a good thing they didn't bother call Kadri up.  It's clearly essential to have Crabb, Rosehill, Orr, and Frattin all in at once.

I'd be shocked if that 4th line gets more than 3 minutes at even-strength. It really doesn't matter where Dupuis lines up.

I think Dupuis is more effective on the wing.  I thought he had a pretty good game in Nashville, keeping the puck in the offensive zone.  One of the weaknesses of this team the last couple of years has been their lack of quality centremen.  Now you have two on the same line, and on the fourth line you have a guy that looks like he is more comfortable on the wing.

i was counting kessel, connolly, lupul, kulemin as the real nhlers. 

 

[Stebro]

When was the last time we had two leafs among the 5 best in scoring in the league? I don't know if it's ever been the case since I became a fan.

The best find is 93/94 when Gilmour finished 4th and Andreychuk finished 9th... Not sure if at any point they were in the top 5 together that season but yeah, it's been a looooong time.

Bozak and Steckel are real NHL'ers.

[maplesyrup]

We're still roughly a little over 2 weeks ahead of last year's pace. Hopefully, our slump has plateaued and we can build on that.

Yeah, I'll take that 4-5-1 stretch as a mini-slump and hope we can win 2-3 in a row now.  *crossing fingers*

 

[maplesyrup]

BTW, Zee... Thanks for keeping track of these 10 game stretches.
