GDT: Arizona @ Toronto - SBA - 7pm - Sportsnet

[bax]

In Arizona !!! If I recall correctly, the Coyotes have had the Leafs number in Toronto.


Yes, in Arizona.

Arizona is 18-5-2 against the Leafs in the last 20 years so not sure it matters where they've played. They just need to come out hard and Brodie needs to refuse his assignment

Woll confirmed starter. Exciting news

 

[DarkKnight]

It's definitely a game that potentially allows for bad habits to creep back. The Leafs can no-look drop pass to their hearts content in this one and still win without breaking much of a sweat.

That’s such a loser mentality, play like that and we lose.

Great news!

That's exactly my point. It's why I don't like these games. It's too easy for bad habits to creep in when there is such a talent imbalance. Even worse when the other team seems to have basically given up on its season, as the Coyotes have.

This is a howler from James Tanner:

Toronto Maple Leafs Should be Willing to Trade Knies, Minten, Cowen and Woll

That’s not remotely what you said.

Woll confirmed starter. Exciting news

Such good news, I still think he’s our best hope in net.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Still doing Rielly-Brodie eh Keefe? Jfc.

 

[Evilhomer]

That’s not remotely what you said.

certainly what I was implying. I've said the same about games against San Jose and Anaheim. You have to win for the sake of the points, but don't want to use it as a crutch to play sloppy. With Woll in net, I expect that there should be an emphasis on protecting the goalie, even if it comes at the expense of some offense.

Curious, does he have any opinion about Van Ryan's defensive systems and line combinations?

From what I hear, it's Van Ryan making the lines.

How can any coach watch that tape from last game and keep these two together. Reilly was embarrassingly bad and Brodie is back to where he was pre strong side. It doesn't work. It does not work. No workero.

Good to hear.

Wouldn't be surprised if the players requested another go after their dismal performance last time out.

I'm hoping it's just a starting pair and he moves it around.

Already posted, but media confirmation.

We like Mike Van Ryn as much as a coach as when he was a player eh?

Bring back Bryan McCabe!

 

[Cleetus]

Happy to see the Brick Woll back!

Woll starting is making me stay home to watch this game!

 

[SprDaVE]

Leafs need to be so much better on home ice. With Woll back, it's imperative they don't drop the ball.

Last game. All season. Rielly has been pretty good on the offensive side of the puck this year, but this pairing just sucks.

Considering how good Brodie looked playing the left side, I just don't get it.
