And we are off and running for Preseason

If Edvinsson was ready, he would be on the roster. Do you really think Yzerman would keep him down just so that he doesn't have to waive or trade a player? Raymond made the team just fine and didn't have to play in GR. SY made room because he was ready. If Edvinsson is better off starting the season in GR, then who cares if he isn't helping the team?

If the best player doesnt play, you set a bad culture for the organization.  Edvinsson is CLEARLY in our top 3 defensemen and arguably only behind Seider.  Making an argument that Chiarot, Holl, Ghost, Petry, and / or Maata are better is just stupid.  Those players only have downside, as well.  They are not as good as Edvinsson, and they arent going to get better with more NHL experience like Edvinsson will.  I'm sick of fans thinking Yzerman is some genius.  He isn't.  He drafts for character and work rate, which is his best ability.  His trades and UFA pick ups so far have been mediocre at best.  The Chiarot signing is a huge stain on his CV, and he hasnt shown the ability to eat a sunk cost.  Right now, the team cannot afford to have him in the lineup.  Yet, he still is.  That's not on Lalonde.  That's on Yzerman.  He needs to manage the 23 man roster appropriately.  And playing Eddog is a big part of that.

Chiarot and Petry are about to be the #1 2nd pairing in the entire league. The going out of business sale started when Petry came over, any product left over by next week will be looted and destroyed by ChiaPet.

More like ChiaBench. EdPet is whats happening and they'll keep the store neat and tidy.

Chiarot is the fastest skater on the team. He'll be in the lineup EVERY single night. Ed will be setting up his thrift store in GR as McEd or EdJo or EdWall or EdRaff.

Lombardi is giving the Leafs absolute fits right now

[AtlantaHotWings 1,046]

Two 5 on 3s in the first period makes it hard to win. The first one Matthews runs over the goalie and interference is called on the goalie ..WTF 

[kipwinger 8,610]

Edvinsson is so good. He's out there just toying with the Leafs (mostly) starting roster. Veleno is gonna succeed despite himself this season. He's just as limited, talent-wise, as he always was but the rising tide is going to float all boats. Follows up a boneheaded turnover and penalty with a good hustle on the forecheck leading to an assist on the Shine goal.

[kipwinger 8,610]

Edvinsson beats Bertuzzi on the boards and springs Sodorblom for a scoring chance before time expires. F*ck yes.

[mackel 708]

Danielson needs to be in our lineup for a 9 game look... he's fantastic!

Along with a mostly AHL squad they gave a mostly NHL Leafs lineup a good run.

 

[kipwinger 8,610]

Our kids just gave the Maple Leafs (mostly) NHL roster all they could handle. Yes it's preseason but Nate Danielson is out here winning faceoffs against John Tavares at 19 years old. This team is so awesome.

So you want all three of Chiarot, Ghost and Määttä in the line-up this season? Some people can’t get enough of the Wings sucking I see..

[Akakabuto 1,819]

Walman-Seider
Edvinsson-Petry
Chiarot/Määttä/Ghost-Holl

Only reasonable setup

Anything else is literally biueadams-slurred

Happy Friday morning coffee ramblings

       Sucks that Daniel-San can't go to the AHL vs going back to junior. He didn't seem out of place in the games I saw through my red wings colored whiskey haze glasses. 

       Uncle Fester said Kasper is adjusting to NA ice size is he? Or is he a bust?

       Lyon or Reimer who stays who goes or do they both stay? I assume neither will pass through waivers

       Week away from the games meaning something 

Have a great day and be safe out there.
