Anthony mantha with the gordie Howe hat trick. I really wish he'd start putting in effort.

So Mr Lazy finished the preseason with 5 games played, 3 goals 4 assists and 1 fight. Ya he is a bumb, trade him now! LOL!!!!!! https://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=AkUODcKunWVgsC1O.4hzmcWbvZx4?p=mantha+vs+holland+hockey+fight&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-901&fp=1

You Owe Larkin One?

hah. still not right!

Announcers: "Wings are 6-0 and Leafs 3-5 which means nothing" Me: Yes it does! Leafs suck! Need to be more offensive.

@Krsmith -- I know Cleary hasn't been that terrible, but I think we're at a point where this team is going to have to make really tough decisions about the roster and specifically at forward. Cleary v Andersson really shouldn't be that difficult of a decision. Andersson is ten years younger than Cleary and $135,000 cheaper. As the 14th forward and barring serious team injury issues, a healthy scratch. I don't need to be wowed, impressed, or even think that one is better than the other. I need servicable. Andersson is that. Keeping Larkin up makes sense because he's waiver exempt, can slot into the top nine, and can easily be sent down when Helm or Datsyuk come back. You've already got Miller, Glendening, and Ferraro that can handle fourth line duties. When both Helm and Datsyuk are healthy, whomever was kept (Andersson or Cleary) is likely to be exposed to waivers anyway. ...and then we're back to a fully healthy roster situation. Who sits?

I can already anticipate the meltdown if Cleary stays and Larkin goes down. Just to prepare people, if that happens, it is NOT because Cleary "took" Larkin's roster spot. It's because they didn't think Larkin was ready for a top 3 line role and didn't want him playing 10 minutes on the fourth line and/or being the 13/14 forward. Cleary, on the other hand, is perfectly-suited to that role. The two of them are not in competition for the same roster spot.

i might be okay with Larkin getting 3rd line duties. but never 4th line..

You know what? f*** it, I like it. Larkin showed this preseason that MAYBE, just maybe, he's NHL ready. Slap him in the top six until Dats gets back. YOLO

I don't know. Miele looked flashy, but it never amounted to anything. I definitely noticed him out there, but it was a lot more of him trying to something impressive and it not working out, like trying to deke around a defender or something.

Babs is 0-2 against the Red Wings..

Leafs player Spaling needs a D in there for Spaling then all they need is Wilson and they are set

Love Glendog Cleary was fine. Announcers wrong!

Mantha fighting wtf Cannot believe it but did I actually see a good few hits in one game by a Wing? Wow, love these young kids Old time hockey

Nice scrum for a preseason game! GO MANTHA!

Maybe he thought he was on the bench and just wanted to stick his hand out? Little bit of an F-you to Babs? HAHA

... and I think he was right!

He was saying it was his goal :/ Shake it off Petr.

Phil Kessell blah blah Phil Kessell JVR blah blah Dion blah blah Wings up 2-0 2nd period Blah blah Blue Jays and Rays

Jays are good, everyone cares about them more then the half hearted effort of the Leafs

Awesome! Good job Evgeny. So far, in 3 games for Cape Breton, Svech has 3 goals and 3 assists, with a +4 rating and 51.8% on draws.

Larkin

Did someone say "goalie battle"?

Having two solid goalies is only a bad thing if you hate one of them and hope they fail so you can "be right" about them on hockey forums and message baords.
