The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Wednesday that forward Simon Gamache and defenceman Anton Stralman have been recalled from the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League.

Gamache and Stralman each played in the Toronto Marlies home opener on October 6 against Rochester. Gamache picked up an assist, while Stralman registered two penalty minutes in the Marlies’ 4-1 victory.

During the preseason, Gamache played in four games for the Maple Leafs collecting two assists and two penalty minutes, and Stralman played in four games going scoreless.

Stralman is ****ing good!
I live in sweden and he played the swedish league last season!
He was really really good, so good for Toronto to put him up in
matches!!

Hes a good offesive skilled defenseman!

In sweden the scouts say hes gonna be the next Nicklas Lidström!!

Devereaux is in, Battaglia is out. Team was practicing with,

Blake.....Sundin.....Steen
Antropov.....Devereaux.....Ponikarovsky
Tucker.....Stajan.....Gamache
Belak.....Pohl.....Kilger

And had the Leafs not had Kubina on the roster, I think Stralman would have made the team.

I really like the way Gamache plays. Little guy but with a big heart. Laid a beauty hit on Carcillo in the pre-season.

I like Gamache since his QMJHL days, he broke Lemeiux's Playoff record for points in his last season there, and until now I was really hoping he would get a chance to show his stuff in the NHL. But no team really gave him a real chance and he was clearly the best player in the Swiss league last season.
I never understood what he really lacks to get a full-time-NHL job. He isn't really a great skater but what else does he lack besides his size.?
