    Leafs that inspire me with their character and talent: Lupul(for coming back off that injury), Kessel (goofy but inspiringly so), Kulemin (as long as he doesn’t fight), Grabbo (pound for pound our toughest guy), Mac (he does everything right), Army(his goofy face alone is inspiring), Brown (the perfect 4th liner), Orr (our gladiator), Rosehill (he inspires dentists everywhere), Phaneuf(he also inspires forwards in front of the net to duck), Schenn(inspires oppiosition forwards to get rid of the puck),Reims and Gus (they will feed off each other)
    -
    I think Connolly and Liles will be inspiring as well…I don’t have a handle on Franson yet, Gunner is a mystery, Komi …we shall see

    I personally like the idea of bozak Army and Kadri together on the third line…. against teams weaker D pairing they could be very effective on the offensive side of the puck

    Yes Dupuis does kill penalties, 1 SHG last year, he is a guy that is very reliable defensively.

    Me too, I just thought that if Kadri really impresses and Bozak falters then its an option to put Kadri at 3rd line center and Bozak would make a good 4th line center as well. But I agree I season starts with a 3rd line of Kadri Bozak Army.

    Nice post. Goofy, I think of Reims. I love his humility, his smile and “aw shucks” kind of message. You hit it dead on, this is a group of guys that you can really get behind. Nothing on or off the ice to turn a fan off.

    Kadri-Bozak-Army for the third. I have a nagging concern that its going to Kadri vs Frattin, and Frattin may surprize.

    PP group 1
    Kessel Connolly Kadri
    Liles Phaneuf
    PP group 2
    Mac Grabbo Kulemin
    Franson Gunnar (although both shoot left, dunno if that would fly)
    use Lupul and Army if more net presence is required

    Yes, reims is so humble and gracious…someone posted on here last year they were sitting near the Leafs bench and reims let in a soft goal, he skated over to the Leafs bench, apologized for letting the team down, and said he wouldn’t let another one in…he didn’t…humble yet competetive and confident.
