Injury Report: Grabovski out for 2 week, MacArthur further clarification needed

[TheNorthFace]

If either guy is out. We should call up Colborne if his injury is coming along, or Kadri to give their minutes to.

[Igy]

Grabovski injured? That's impossible.

I bet he will be back for Thursday.

Arguably longer than that with the age and playing style of the team even when they made the playoffs. But this could be even more disastrous if both are out. Neither have been the same players as last year, odd considering Grabo is playing for a new contract. But who replaces these guys? Connolly, sure, but he'll be injured two games after coming back (no source needed).

Colborne cleared for contact

once again, it looks like the Injury Gods are going to force Burke and Wilson into fixing their roster mistakes by calling up youngsters who already deserved to be here.

Too bad it will be at the expense of Grabovski, though. We really need him in the lineup. I also think this team misses Colby Armstrong more than is generally acknowledged.

But I could see Kadri filling in adequately for MacArthur.

I believe your referring the phrase "play the kids" here.

Its not copyrighted so feel free to use it as desired.

This is the reason why a team should have depth. Hopefully now some of these depth players step up and perform as expected. This could be Kadri's best shot yet at sticking with the big team. Hopefully he sees it that way as well.

Leafs scored 5 goals total in their last 4 home games all losses with Grabovski and MacArthur, which is nearly 1 goal per game average.

With both players in the line-up, they have combined for zero points during the Leafs past 5 games.

Replacing them should not effect the team average goals scored even if the replacements are held pointless.

[NaiveLeafsFan]

Henny is tweeting that Rosehill is slotting into the 4th line, so I don't think Kadri's gonna get the call any more.

Lupul-Bozak-Kessel
Crabb-Connolly-Kulemin
Lombardi-Steckel-Brown
Frattin-Dupuis-Rosehill

[zeke]

I'd keep Bozak on the top line. The top line is doing fine.

I'd put Connolly with Kuly and Kadri on the 2nd line.

Ideally colborne would also be called up to centre the 3rd line but he likely needs some AHL games to get back into game shape.

cripes.

If they go with that lineup instead of calling up Kadri we're approaching insanity levels.

[BonMorrison]

Joey Crabb on the second line?

This is turning into last season. It's happening IT'S HAPPENING.

I guess Wilson is trying to get fired.
