Leafs Injury Updates

[caver]

An out of position pylon? Really?

 

[Zee]

Gardiner will play tomorrow according to Paul Hendrick.  Also Darryl Boyce is out with an undisclosed injury.  I guess Bozak takes his spot. No idea who sits on D.

Schenn cause he is getting traded

I'd much rather send Franson than Schenn.

Franson has offense, Schenn doesn't.  I haven't had problems with Franson out there, he adds another dimension to the defense with his quick point shot that are fairly accurate.  At least he can get the shot through consistently.  I'd rather get rid of Komisarek if at all possible, there's no room on the Leafs defense for 2 incredibly slow guys like Komi and Schenn.  One of the 2 shouldn't be there.

Hmm you must be watching a different Franson. I don't think I have seen a defenseman shoot as many shots into shinpads in my life. At least Schenn has the sense to shoot the puck wide off the back boards instead of trying to shoot through someone directly in front of him. Everytime I see Franson I just see an out of position pylon, not saying Schenn doesn't get out of position I just see it more in Franson. I guess everyone sees something different.

Franson you can use on the powerplay, Schenn you can't.  Also, I distinctly recall Schenn being 100% at fault for the winning goal on Friday night in Buffalo, so yeah I guess I'm seeing something different.

Well he has been a bit better recently but I still can't help seeing Hal Gill when he is out there... I have just never been a big fan of his I guess.

I wouldn't say 100% as it was a nice pass in the air but yes he should have been on that man in front. Of course Vanek probably should have received 5 and a game for the knee he threw a couple minutes before. Franson won't be on the powerplay at all when Lyles gets back in the lineup. All I remember is one of the games against Winnepeg when Franson must have taken 15 shots and I think 1 made it past the defenders and actually made it on net.
Everyone has their favourite and not so favourite players. I always thought Ian Turnbull was hugely over rated, and I liked Rocky Saginiuk but that's just my opinion as well I guess.

True when Liles is back he's the #1 pairing on the PP, but for the #2 pairing you have to believe it's Franson.  I like the fact that we are able to play him late in a game when trailing by a goal cause he can provide offensive opportunities, with a guy like Schenn (or Komisarek) you have to bench them in the latter part of the 3rd when down a goal.  What's the point of carrying 2 slow guys that you can't play late in a game?  One has to go.

I feel kind of bad for Colton, looked like Eakins was going to try to find a way to make use of him but he's probably done for the year now.

He got injured?

Great news.

John-Michael Liles even went so far as to search for a set of new pillows, anything to alleviate the neck problem which has plagued him since late December.

Contrary to the widely-held assumption, however, Liles does not believe that he has been suffering from a concussion. In fact, the 31-year-old believes that the symptoms he's been experiencing for the past 15 games are more closely related to the trouble he's been having with his neck, specifically a "locked" feeling which has quietly subsided of late.

Have they checked to make sure his neck's not broken? 8)

Armstrong and Liles might be back in tonight:

reporterchris Chris Johnston
Nazem Kadri and Keith Aulie gone from the #leafs. Looks like they've been sent down to AHL.

 

[Zee]

Wonder if Armstrong will last this time.

 

[Mikhail Bloodnovsky]

Wonder if Armstrong will last this time.

He could have made a difference yesterday. He is one player I really like out there with 1 minute to go in a close game. No one on this team can play along the boards like Armstrong and this is one are where we really struggle in our zone. Let's hope he won't strain an MCL putting on his skates.

Lets hope he doesn't strain his cornea just looking at his skates.

 

[Stronger Than All]

What?  Kadri should stay.  Ah well.
