08:27 AM ET 10.13 | Some believe Ron Wilson's approach is better suited to smaller hockey markets, where little news can't become big news. A perfect example came Wednesday when it was announced by both Wilson and defenceman Cody Franson that Franson would make his Leaf debut on Saturday against Calgary. By doing it that way, what was a one-day story will now turn into a four-day story as the Leaf Nation chews on the issue of putting Franson in the lineup after he was acquired from Nashville during the summer. ... Expect many to demand that Mike Komisarek be the Leaf taken out. ... Now, Komisarek gets to face three days of questioning about it, to which he'll probably have to throw his arms in the air and say, "I have no idea. Ask the coach."

"Some believe Ron Wilson's approach is better suited to smaller hockey markets..."
The AHL has a lot of small hockey markets.

And you can put Argos on the list of those who want Komisarek to sit.

Unlike a lot of you guys I have no knowledge of the Canadian media, specifically Toronto, other than what I pick up from these threads. But, this seems to be among the most useless pieces of **** I've seen in some time and that takes some doing. So, he's gonna put a guy in the lineup, and another guy is going to be out that night. So? Doesn't that happen every game day for a couple or more of the 30 teams in the league? Sudden flash.........I hear there's an 80% chance it's gonna be cold in Winnipeg this winter.

Picture the NY media with the Yanks...they attempt to make every little Leafs story into some huge event.
They once planned a parade route for the Stanley Cup last year when the Leafs started off the season with couple of wins.

I wonder if they've dusted off the map of the parade route from last year?

Sorry, I make every conscious effort to totally ignore MLB.
They did start 4-0 last year. Still missed the playoffs. And they plan that Cup parade every time the Leafs win more than two in a row.

Apparently, according to Stranger, they have one more win to go before starting the planning. Let's go Leafs!!!! :)

If they keep missing the playoffs year after year, a two-game win streak will eventually sound good enough for them to get started on those preparations...

So, the coach is going to swap out the #6 or 7 Dman for a game on a team that hasn't made the playoffs in 6 years....Big whoop de do. In other shocking news, the Dman who will be "benched" is "upset".
Really, now the aforementioned Dman might have to answer some questions while he goes to cash his $50,000 game check????
This is even less relevant than the "panic" because Boston started 1-3.
