Pre-Game Talk: Boston Bruins @ Toronto Maple Leafs - 3/23/2013

[beleaf67]

Let's hope for the best boys...

Shanahan ****ed us with Lups suspension, and today Rick Nash (NYR) gets nothing for his head hunting... Awesome job NHL...

Damn...I hope he doesnt continue to meltdown...

 

[Deebo]

What the hell is Scrivens so mad about?!

That he got hurt?

Tyler Seguin because everytime he seems to score against the Leafs.

 

[Space Coyote]

Leafs have to shutdown Seguin just like they did Stamkos other night, and fellow forum users please don't post that Kessel tossing the bear gif, call me superstitious but every time we've posted that gif on GDT, the Leafs have lost those games with Kessel disappearing.

Yea, really we don't need another Gustavsson

Seguin. Hate it when that guy scores against us. Feels bad man.

 

[The Missing Piece]

I have to agree. And when he scores it cuts that much deeper.

 

[GenericFan2*]

Fully expecting to lose both games, if they get any points i'll be more than happy.

Gotta survive without Lupes, somehow.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Tie a cookie to Rask and watch Kessel hit the net.

 

[Ash35]

It's time this team grows some nuts and beats Boston, Kessel especially. These games always seem to remind us why we need to trade him.

 

[CanadianLov3]

The big bad Bruins always seem to beat the Leafs... wahhh It sucks even more that Lupul isn't playing, he really was a big boost offensively and even laying out some nice hits (minus the hit on Hedman lol) I will be happy with 1 point and extremely HAPPY if we grabbed the 2 pts. If we lose, it won't hurt that bad. Hopefully we win one game and grab 1 point from the other back to back game. That'd be perfect.

 

[namttebih]

Is Leo injured?

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Do you want Kessel to hit Rask or the net?

 

[stakesishigh]

That he got hurt?

Sounds more like taking a risk to aggravate or cause a potential injury.

Who gets hurt and starts throwing and bashing their stick around? Doesn't seem like a very intelligent move.

Either way, hope he's okay, mentally and physically. You have to imagine he's starting one of the Boston games.

You make a good point....

Why is Kessel so scared of Boston,and if he continues this play,why dont we just sit him out against the Bruins? I imagine his play against Boston is why Leaf fans are so critical of his soft play. I would rate his play against his former team mates a P. Pathetic.

I don't know why everyone keys in on him when we play Boston. He's equally as soft against every other team. Not to mention the other 20 or so teams that have trouble meeting Boston's physicality.

I know you are serious... but seriously? Not a smart move.

Their top D pairing targetting Kadri all night -- do you want that? Lupul won't even be in the lineup Sat.

We need all the help we can get to have any chance of winning this game.

He has very little room to actually play optimally. Boston is predicting a pass to Kessel and will have him marked.

We're talking about a team that has the strongest defence in the NHL. I think we need to start looking at mixing things up. This has very little to do with Kessel.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

I don't have the usual sense of dread before a Boston game. Not sure if that's because I'm expecting the Leafs to win or if it's just that I am resigned to our fate.

Great, the only thing we need now is a goalie who gets out of control for no reason.
