TORONTO - Randy Carlyle was asked about whether some of his injured players might be ready for opening night, but his answer strayed to healthy ones, too. Fake Jordan .I still think we have a couple days before we make that final assessment on everybody, Carlyle said. I would say that theres some performances you just cant ignore a€” positively and negatively.Forgive Carlyle for linking the two, as a handful of injuries have clouded the Toronto Maple Leafs roster outlook leading up to final cuts. Even if ultra-durable Phil Kessel is good to go for Wednesdays season opener against the Montreal Canadiens despite a lower-body injury, its not clear whether centre Tyler Bozak (lower body), winger Josh Leivo (bruised foot) and defenceman Cody Franson (bruised knee) will be ready.Jobs hang in the balance.Theres no replacement for Bozak on the roster, but it would be a trickle-down effect if hes not ready. The Leafs No. 1 centre and Kessels running mate missed the start of camp and appeared in just three pre-season games, missing Fridays finale.Leivos health could affect a handful of Leafs on the bubble, most notably Matt Frattin, who had a camp Carlyle described as mediocre. His last game mightve been his best.The one thing that he did is he was physical, and thats what weve asked Fratty that that part of his game has to be up there for him to make a contribution, Carlyle said. Thats what we believe in our assessment of him when weve had him here previously: He becomes a much more effective player when hes on the body.With undersized winger Brandon Kozun earning a spot as the most pleasant surprise of training camp, it looks like theres room for one of Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren, Carter Ashton and William Nylander. Each player except Nylander requires waivers, so decisions should be coming before Monday at noon so the 23-man group can be set by 5 p.m. Tuesday.Orr is a favourite of Carlyles, and even though he has emphasized team toughness, the veteran enforcer looks like a good bet to be on the team, even if its in a platoon role as a 13th forward.Franson factors in, too, because it would determine if Toronto keeps 14 forwards and seven defencemen or 13 and eight. He skated only at the end of Saturdays practice and is focused on getting the swelling down and bringing back some more range of motion.Its getting better, Franson said Saturday. Theres definitely still some work to do to get it back to game shape, but its a step in the right direction.Franson said his goal was to play Wednesday. If he cant, 2011 first-round pick Stuart Percy could make his NHL debut.Percy, a 21-year-old lefty, stood out in camp and earned at least the seventh-defenceman job, helped by veteran Henrik Tallinder injuring his shoulder while on a tryout. Friend and former AHL roommate Korbinian Holzer, a righty, would be in line to be No. 8.Korby, hes had an outstanding training camp for us, Carlyle said. Hes played some real good hockey games for us. We feel that hes got a shot at making our hockey club.Holzer, who played 22 games for the Leafs during the lockout-shortened 2013 season, feels like this is his best of five training camps.I think Ive done everything I could to leave a good impression, the 26-year-old German said. I will never be a flashy guy who will score 10 goals or whatever. I think I had some good games and I just feel like overall it was a good pre-season.There wasnt much tension at Saturdays practice, even with cuts looming. But some anxious moments await, and even though 37-year-old veteran Stephane Robidas is safe, he emphasizes with his teammates on the edge.I remember that feeling where you show up to training camp and youre hoping its going to be the year where youre going to make it and youre close and you dont know what to expect, Robidas said. But I think all the young guys they played very well and they dont make the job easy on the GM and the coaches that have to make those decisions because I think a lot of those young guys played very well.---Follow @SWhyno on Twitter Wholesake Fake Nike Air Force 1 . -- Kevin Stadler might be playing in the Masters for the first time, but hes already showing his old man a thing or two.

Berkman almost left the game last off-season before signing with the Texas Rangers. He then had another injury-plagued season and was limited to 73 games. Switzerland won the Davis Cup first-round tie against Serbia after Marco Chiudinelli and Michael Lammer beat Nenad Zimonjic and Filip Krajinovic in doubles for an unbeatable 3-0 lead on Saturday. Switzerland faces Belgium or Kazakhstan in the quarterfinals in April. Serbia dropped into the World Group playoffs in September. A confident Chiudinelli and Lammer defeated veteran doubles player Zimonjic and young Krajinovic 7-6 (3), 3-6, 7-6 (2), 6-2. The Serb pair fought hard and appeared even, forcing a tiebreak in the first set and winning the second. But Zimonjic and Krajinovic failed to convert two break points at 5-5 in the third set, allowing the Swiss to regain confidence and cruise to victory in the fourth set. "We wanted to get the three points, we have the victory already on Saturday," Lammer said. "We are in the quarterfinals for the first time in a long time, which is very exciting for Switzerland. Fake Shoes. quot; Serbia captain Bogdan Obradovic said: "Our guys did their best, but didnt have luck." On Friday, Swiss stars Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka won the opening singles. Federer was making his first Davis Cup appearance since 2012. Serbia, last years finalist, was playing without its three top players, Novak Djokovic, Janko Tipsarevic and Viktor Troicki. The second-ranked Djokovic decided to rest after losing to Wawrinka in the Australian Open quarterfinals, while Tipsarevic was nursing a heel injury and Troicki was serving a 12-month doping ban for failing to appear at a test. That meant 102nd-ranked Dusan Lajovic was Serbias highest-ranked team member. Coach Obradovic said he hoped the top players will be back next year. "All that is left is to reorganize and fight to stay in the World Group," he said. ' ' '
