Leafs Have Issues Up The Middle

from the Toronto Star,

With less than a week before the NHL season opens, the Leafs' grand plan to charge into battle with three behemoth centres — Mats Sundin, Jason Allison and Eric Lindros — is already running out of steam. Allison and Lindros are struggling to stay healthy, so the trio might not even be able to start the season. If they do, it's still not a sure bet they'll all play centre. "Not really," Leafs coach Pat Quinn said yesterday when asked if he's got any firm plans for the three giants. "You can make plans, but we don't know if they'll start the season. Right now they're not in the middle, they're nowhere ... they're in the stands." Allison (hip flexor) has appeared in one pre-season game while Lindros (oblique muscles) has three to his credit. The lack of participation, even though the games are meaningless, has compromised roster decisions and thrown a wrench into preparations for Wednesday's opener at home against Ottawa.
