Who do the Leafs have for Penalty Kill's?
Last year they had Peca, and McCabe and Kaberle contributed a bit.
Who do they have now? Thanks a bunch!
GO LEAFS GO, and Pens!

Yeah, but if you people didn't notice, Bell and Wellwood are out for awhile. And I never knew if Blake was good on the PK's.

And Hal Gill doesn't do much during Pk's, last year he was barely on during Pk's, just at the end when the puck was in the other end.

The Leafs have nobody to kill penalties.
When Peca went down last year, they were ranked 3rd. If you only include the 50 games he didn't play....they had one of the worst penalty kills on record.
As another responder stated, they didn't do anything to fix this area.
Who do they use? Steen? Stajan? Pohl? Battaglia? Bell's out for a while. Wellwood was more PP than PK last year.
I'm a huge Leafs fan, but I've already resigned myself to a season of disappointment

Chris- I think Wellwood is out for awhile. Obviously, Bell for a little too.
Staal fan-it is not really like they ever had Peca, he was out for so long.
Hal Gill is a valuable PKer for them. Sundin, Stajan, Steen, Kilger all kill penalties. Pohl too maybe??
Last year, the Leafs finished 4th last on the PK and only scored 3 SH goals (Jordan Staal had 7) and I don't see where they reallly improved in this area.

Staal_Fan, Gill led the Leaf D in PK time last year. He was on the ice for 53% of the time that the Leafs were killing penalties.
You must have been watching different games then everybody else

well they have Mark Bell and Jason Blake, who will contribute alot, along with sundin for the crucial face-off's we also have like you said McCabe and Kaberle, and we also have some young players and defencemen that will be good, oh yeah i forgot Kyle Wellwood, defenetly Kyle Wellwood.
