Klingberg (undisclosed) is doubtful for Friday's game vs Detroit. He logged 19:00min in their last game and looked better but I guess he's not healthy enonugh.

John Shannon tweeted that PKane the meeting on tuesday did not occur between Kane and the Leafs. Leafs sources reached out to say it did not happen

[2014olympicgold]

EF said that this week could be telling of what will happen with Klingberg's future. Sounds a bit of a dumb comment really, but you wonder if they're just timing Klingberg's LTIR to Timmins return.

Echo echo echo

Leafs practice lines:
Knies-AM-MM
Bert-JT-Willy
Robertson-Domi-Jarnk
McMann-Kampf-Gregor
Reaves

Rielly-Brodie
Gio-McCabe
Lagesson-Timmins
Benoit

Connor Timmins coming back??
Klingberg will not play this week. Last game was Nov11th.

Leafs have less regulation wins in NA than Columbus....

Why didn't Treeliving just sign Gustafsson instead of Klingberg? He used to be an absolute trainwreck in his own end but he's a good 3rd pairing, PPQB dman and a value at 825K. And Lafferty sure looks good in a bottom 6 role in Vancouver. Both of those guys would be quality cheap depth but Treeliving went with Klingberg and Reaves.

I wonder how much of signing Klingberg was they saw his medical reports and thought if he can get healthy his impact on the ice will be greater than Gust. Bit of a boom or bust scenario. And they knew if he busted, he'd LTIR.

I don't agree with either signing in Klingberg or Reaves, but I wonder if that was plan with Kling. Cause I can't think of any other reason.

Keefe said they are still waiting to determine the severity of Gio's hand injury. But he will be out tmo.

Sounds like a broken bone and the swelling is still to much to determine exactly what has happened.

Giordano is week-to-week with a broken finger.

Leafs D group is:
Rielly-Brodie
Lagesson-McCabe
Benoit-Timmins
Lajoie

Liljegren, Giordano, and Klingberg out week-to-week at minimum. It's the 4th week of Liljegren being out, but with a high ankle sprain it could be 6weeks-6months depending on surgery and severity.

Keefe on Woll:
"It's unfortunate...He's been playing so well and building such good momentum in his season and his career....that is why you sign veteran depth.....Woll will miss some time for sure" The extend of which will be known when they get home and he can get an MRI.

Ryan Reaves appears to badly hurt something on his left leg last night after awkwardly hitting the boards (while standing) and Keefe said he's like out "a while". He tried really hard to even stay standing after and couldn't, and needed help getting to the tunnel. Then in the tunnel told 2 guys he didn't need help, then right at the end of the camera being on him looked like he fell.

It's clearly not a Robidas Island situation, but it might end up Robidas Island when he becomes healthy. But Reaves is really 1 thing, tough, and he couldn't even get to the tunnel without showing he's badly hurt.

With LTIR, that essentially allows them to bring back Liljegren with no headache, who Keefe prior to the game said Lili is "close".

So, the Leafs lost 9-3 to the lowly Buffalo Sabres. Do you still think extending Sheldon Keefe was a good idea?

I thought he should have been fired after winning only 1 home game in 2 rounds with the most talented line up in last year's playoffs.

Ya, but look at Matthews goal pace!

I think the better question is was extending Samsonov a good idea? He's been Jack Campbell bad. Maybe worse.

It's a good thing they didn't. Maybe the best move of their offseason.
