Matt Frattin is still about a month away from resuming skating.

Leafs signed Scrivens this morning. Two years. Can't find $ yet... I will assume 1.25 per.

Looks very likely they will go with Reimer and Scrivens.

oops, meant to say 1.25 total.

I'm going to the Marlies home opener against Rochester this Saturday.

Can't wait to see some hockey!

Was at the Marlies home opener.

A couple thoughts and lines:

Ashton - Aucoin - Kadri
Deschamps - Colborne - Komarov
Zigomanis - Hamilton - McKegg
D'Amigo - Acton - Greg

Gardiner - Kostka
Fraser - Holzer
Ranger - Blacker

That Zigomanis - Hamilton - McKegg line was awesome. Holzer is def NHL ready, head up crisps passes. Blacker was ok...made some nice plays but also some bad decisions...

Aucoin on the first line is huge. Kadris skill and Ashton's resilience makes it such a good line.

Komarov is a beast too. He reminds me of Kulemin. Does the little things right.

Scrivens was great too.

Rochester seemed tired, they played yesterday and went into OT. No one really stood out. Hodgson, Foligno, everybody was invisible for almost the whole game.

Nice thoughts, I was at the game as well.

It was great to see some good hockey.
