Preseason: sens @ Leafs - Oct. 9th, 7:00pm - SN1, Fan 590

Engvall does not want to get waived.  What a nice play by Marner, Tavares and Engvall with the finish

I really like this goal for Engvall but it happens largely because Tavares makes a great read to cut in front of Engvall on the entry, giving him drafting room to overlap, confuse defenses, and get setup, and open for the feed.

He probably wasn't anyway. Brooks appears to be the odd man out if Mikheyev isn't out long term

Sandin really hasn?t had a good preseason.  I don?t like how he played the 2 on 1 that resulted in the Sens goal and then a turnover leads to a penalty on a failed clearing attempt.  He hasn?t been very good in the previous games

I do like the aggressiveness of the Leafs penalty kill.  They are closing off passing and shooting f lanes quicker by being more aggressive

Timothy Jimothy slinging the knucklepuck, and Tavares casually bunts it home.

I was afraid for his face at first, but...

Just got home. This is not what I wanted to read!

Preseason game and the handful fo good players on Ottawa aren?t here but I like the Leafs effort here.  All of the lines look at least a little dangerous.

And Simmonds with a lil payback on Sabourin.

That's a shame. Only positive is it saves Brooks for now and the Leafs can run a 22 man roster. Wondering how close they can get to the cap before they put Mikheyev on LTIR, if that's the way this goes.

I guess we don't have to worry about his ice time now.

Won?t they have to put Mikheyev on LTIR in order to keep Engvall and Brooks?  (The reason to send brooks through waivers was not lack of spots on the roster but cap space, no?)

Oh jeez

LTIR means less cap space (maybe none) at the deadline.

Too bad Robertson isn't ready.

Yes, he'd have to go on LTIR to keep Brooks or Engvall off waivers. If Mik is going on LTIR they can keep Liljegren with the big club too.

Too bad Robertson isn't ready.

Only way he'd be staying is if the Leafs were looking to dump one of Brooks or Engvall on waivers. His waiver status pretty much set the tone of where he'd be playing unless he dominated.
