You’ll be disappointed then lol

The pairings are bang on to what I guessed they would be. They won’t lean on Liljegren to protect OEL defensively and they’re not going to continue using a 3rd pairing guy (Benoit) with a second pairing guy (McCabe), at least not to start.

So far the D looks like this

Rielly Tanev
OEL McCabe
Webber/Chadwick Liljegren

And since Benoit won’t be in the lineup they’re using Webber (who has been covering for Benoit’s absence so far in practices paired up with Liljegren) and Chadwick.

doesn't matter what the pairings looks like - just wanna see if there's some improvents on Lily. They say he's aiming for 2nd pair

Who is “they”? lol

Lily would have to be far better defensively to be OEL’s partner.

A Lily OEL pairing would get absolutely (frank)ing destroyed against quality competition.

they are just old hockey guys - some with connections to a coach here and there...

Yeah, and I liked them don’t kid yourself but it was also pretty obvious that McCabe and Benoit were over worshipped as a pair.

Of course they looked good, the other two pairings was Rielly Lyubushkin and Liljegren Edmundson. Not all that difficult to look like the best pairing in a lineup like that lol

In the playoffs Benoit was also barely covered when he was handling or shooting the puck because even tho I like him I can also admit he’s basically no offensive threat.

That because they like to body check people on the ice and at times, drop the gloves.
Not to many Leafers on the team do that.

Oh I know, and I like it, but there’s other important rolls for the position as well.

Cover song of the week. There is some controversy over the writing credits for this song. Some credit Billy Roberts the San Francisco folkie, some Dino Valenti of Quicksilver Messenger Service. A garage band named the Leaves also claimed credit. Others say it is a traditional song. Either way, a classic.

The battle for those middle 6 wing spots starts tonight. Patches and Cowan get a look tonight. McMann, Robbie, probably on Tuesday.

Out of that group, I think McMann is the most likely to stay
