But does anybody know the actual combinations used? I'm wondering how they've changed with the recent injuries/come backs/call ups/yadda yaddas. Thanks if anyone knows/remembers!
Last game was Bounival Dumont Leblanc Tinordi Pateryn as the starting 5.
Really looking forward to Danny Pribyl coming over next year,I remember him posting after he was drafted and he seemed very upbeat and glad to be chosen by the Habs. Danny is going to be quite the player when his skating catches up to his stickhandling abilities.Perhaps playing alongside Naatinen and Kristo would be a good thing until his skating gets good,he's definitely got a good work ethic,otherwise Timmins wouldn't have drafted him.Playing LW would be a great choice for him like Montreal(the poster) suggested and having Joonas (great checker with speed)and Kristo the speedster and checker,scorer on a line with Danny could be great in the AHL for learning quickly. Pribyl's game projects great for the NA game he loves going to the net and the hard areas.
Watched a play by Tinordi tonight that struck me like a bolt out of the past,it brought back a play Larry Robinson did when he was a rookie and had an awkward skating style.The gist of it is that it struck me then as it did tonight this guy's going to be a great player,I'm Lovin it,Jerry.
Dumont with G A 15-12-27 and 62 PIMs in 42 games for him, nice little season. He will be knocking on the door next year as #4 center/13th forward.
Nice to see LeBlanc get going, hopefully he can get on a tear, I'm sure it will do wonders for his confidence. He has all the tools to be a solid 2nd liner in the NHL or an elite 3rd liner.
Martin Lapointe was behind the bench for Hamilton, did I miss something? Did anyone hear if he's joining the Dogs as an assistant coach or is this just a one game thing?
Finished watching the game last night, thought it was one of the better games that Beaulieu has played as he was moving his feet all night and was very involved in the offensive zone. Of course Leblanc had a good night as well as I was paying close attention and he seemed to be moving well all night.
The Toronto system is incredibly depleted after several years of inadverdant tanking. It's thus far one of the worst rebuilds in history.
They should bite the bullet and trade Kessel, Phaneuf, Komisarek, for draft picks.
I'm surprised at how bad Colborne is.
Hey DA why do you hate spelling properly?And don't pick at my paragraphs if it's too hard to read skip it Skippy.Inadvertently I thought to drop this line.

Beaulieu also 2 points.
I rate him as having solid 3rd line potential and elite 4th line potential... but I do like the way he plays the game.

Far to early in Leblanc's career to say what his upside may or may not be IMO.I would really like to see how the Dumont-Leblanc-Bournival line does after a few weeks together and possibly a year together.They may open some eyes,there is a lot of talent,desire and hard work on that line and they seem to have a little chemistry happening.All three can play Center/RW/LW and play the PK or PP a really versatile trio there.
For you guys that watch the Bulldogs regularly, it's pretty much assumed Tinordi will be on the big club next season, but how long do you think before Beaulieu makes the jump?

good to hear. I'm 80 per cent confident that LL can turn it around. I'm not too worried even if he doesn't.
