Holland has only seen scrub duty for about 8-11 minutes a game before.  Not sure who he had for linemates, but this is an awesome opportunity for him.

 

[mc]

don't mean to be negative, but i don't see us winning tonight either.

 

[azzurri63]

Team is struggling for some offence and Rielly sits again. Don't understand that. I hope he plays.

 

[Stronger Than All]

We will win this one.

John Scott: "I'm not a meathead"

Thanks for clarifying Scott - it was insulting to meatheads everywhere being associated to you!

180 Games 1 Goal 4 Assists 5 Points 305 Penalty Minutes = Meathead

 

[iwas11in67]

5-1 Leafs.

 

[bustaheims]

180 Games 1 Goal 4 Assists 5 Points 305 Penalty Minutes = Meathead

Let's update those numbers:

188 games, 1 goal, 5 points, 325 PIM, 68 shots. Only player in NHL history with more than 150 games played and less than 6 points. Next on the list for that level of ineptitude is David Koci, who had 4 points in 142 games - but 3 goals, and 462 PIM, so, I guess he had better hands. One of only 2 players in NHL history to have played at least 160 games and only score 1 goal. So . . . umm . . . yeah. Meathead.

 

[harps64]

5-1 Leafs.

Was thinking along the same lines, I'll say 7-1. Kessel due for a big night, a hat trick if i do say so.
Anyone want the winning 649 numbers while I'm at it?

If the fans at the acc dont chant "meathead" when scott is on the ice I will be disappointed

 

[Stickytape]

jonasTSN1050: Projected Lines vs. BUF: JVR-Holland-Kessel. Lupul-Smith-Clarkson. Raymond-McClement-Kulemin. McLaren-Smithson-Orr.

jonasTSN1050: Projected defence: Gunnarsson-Phaneuf. Gardiner-Franson. Ranger-Fraser. Rielly appears to be a scratch for the fifth game this season.

Welcome to the team, kid. Now, right into the fire.

That's pretty crazy to do that to him, if you ask me.

It's a hell of a way for him to start. Hopefully he came prepared; this could be the biggest game of his hockey career so far.

I'd say that's a given.
