Curious whether the O'Neil/Maurice relationship has improved since they were last together in Carolina.

This in from the exhibition game last night in Halifax (my bold):

"The Leafs went with a young lineup as coach Paul Maurice sat all of the team's regular defencemen from last season, as well as free-agent signees Pavel Kubina and Hal Gill.

Up front, Alexander Steen, Matt Stajan, Alexei Ponikarovsky and O'Neill were the only regulars to play as Maurice continues to take a long look at many of the players he coached last season with the AHL's Toronto Marlies."

I hope I see more regulars tonight for the Habs in Truro!

BTW, Ottawa beat the Leafs 3-2. Heatly and Spezza both scored.

Nilsey- on the other side of the coin, sens had a pretty veteran lineup and only beat Trawna 3-2.

Nil,just a question, why would they be pissed off?? We have played absolutely horrible during this preseason , and TO beat us 2 in a row. With regualars or not , this is NOT a good way to be heading into the regular season.

Down here in the far east (NS), the Laff fans only get to see their heroes about once every ten years, so for all the stars to be sitting out the game, I'd be upset about that. They want to see SUndin etc., I'm sure.

Same for tonight's game - I want to see Koivu, Kovalev, Souray, et al, not a glorified AHL lineup. Wouldn't you?
