Any news on an injured D-man. I just read they recalled Percy.

Percy's been called up. Likely just an insurance thing.

They like to carry an extra forward (Kozun) and defenseman (Percy) on the road. The reason he wasn't called up earlier was for Percy's playing time and salary cap savings.

 

[bustaheims]

Any news on an injured D-man. I just read they recalled Percy.

He's a "just in case something happens to someone before game time" call up. He'll likely be sent back down tomorrow.

They're in Detroit after all.

Is that a cheapshot at Motown?

Anyway, this is an interesting story re Detroit:

Never, I love Detroit.

almost game time...we can't lose every game to them this year can we?

Yes, I'm pretty sure we can. Nothing the Leafs do surprises me anymore.

 

[bustaheims]

Considering the Leafs won the last game they played, I'm going to with a pretty emphatic no. What with the whole not actually being a possibility anymore and such.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Reimer starts. Randy probably wants to keep Bernier rested for his back-to-backs on the weekend.

[bustaheims]

4-1, like 3 weeks ago.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Smith is scratched for Kozun.

well awesome ...now they can feel free to lose i guess

PS:  seems like a good stream for those who need it http://blabseal.de/rangers/

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So looks like lines are:

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Booth-Kadri-Santorelli
Lupul-Holland-Clarkson
Panik-Winnik-Kozun

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't give Sportsnet/Rogers much props, but hiring Mike Johnson for colour was a smart move.

Agreed.

 

[ZBBM]

Smith is scratched for Kozun.

I guess they wanted more speed?  There was nothing wrong with Smith's play.

 

[bustaheims]

I guess they wanted more speed?  There was nothing wrong with Smith's play.

Yeah. While it's probably an inconsequential move, it's one I don't really understand, either. I'd rather have the extra centre in the lineup.

If the Leafs were deadset on putting Kozun in the line-up I'm glad it was Smith sitting as opposed to Panik. We'll see how Winnik does in the middle, although I would think he's better on the wing.
