The New Division

[corksens]

So everytime a Leafs fan fawns over a Leafs player, we need to bring up a comparable Sens player?

That's what you want?

Just some objectivity from our uber-amazing talent evaluator (or at least so he thinks).

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

I still don't understand why you find it so suprising that Leafs fans would want to discuss and evaluate our own prospects / young players during a preseason game.

That has nothing to do with objectivity.

We can if the Habs or Leafs win.

Can't speak for Leaf fans but I haven't seen any Hab fans bragging over any of our pre-season games.

 

[corksens]

Whats the expected line up for tonight, HP?

Whats the expected line up for tonight, HP?

I haven't seen yet but I assume it will be closer to what our regular season line up should look like.

Not that it matters. Pre-season is virtually meaningless even when icing your complete line up. The guys just don't play as hard.

Expecting the reverse of last night: mostly our A lineup against your youngsters.

 

[corksens]

I think we might see Anderson in net - but I haven't seen any roster updates yet.

If you guys would just get ready to be steamrolled every time Ottawa blows through town, the stress levels would drop.

 

[Habspatrol]

I'm willing to take bets on the season series and season standing between the Habs and Sens.

I call the Habs. Name a price?

-$50

I responded to your position that the Sens would finish behind the Leafs/Habs. You didn't answer.

Glad to get a look at Lazar, Hoffman and Puempel.

 

[corksens]

Poor Lazar. Being on that line is more of a punishment than a reward.

 

[hockeylover]

I don't get why some of those guys are still in your camp to be honest. Injuries?

Split squad games on Sunday...had to keep bodies around.

Hoffman is the only one with even an outside chance of getting a spot, but Da Costa has looked too good to send down so I guess Hoffman's on his way back to the A.

Who? Me? I never said the Sens would finish behind the Leafs. Although I lean towards thinking they will.

 

[Habsy]

It's mid-preseason. Teams should be icing squads that look pretty close to their opening line-up by now.

No surprise seeing a Habs/Leafs fan hope an injury is serious though. Par for the course.

It's funny you'd say that because tonight the Habs are icing pretty close to their opening day lineup and the Sens are icing AHLers.

Yer jus dum.

 

[Habsy]

This is a Leafs board. Why would we discuss Sens (or Habs) players, especially in a Leafs preseason game thread?

Nobody here cares.

Maybe I can help you out here...

"The New Division" implies discussion of multiple teams. Unless the Leafs are the only team in this "New Division".
