Pre-Game Talk: Carolina @ Toronto, Tlusty Who?

[Liferleafer]

Where is our GDT? It's getting a little wierd that the Preds board, the Av's board, the Wild's board and now the Canes board all have thier GDT's up before us.....we are the center of the hockey universe dammit!! Somebody get Randy Carlyle on this ASAP!!

 

[Liferleafer]

I say Leafs win 3-2, then I'm going to post the "We Can't Stop" by Miley Cyrus in the PGT! BAM! Thanks to Bozie I think Heave Away has seen it's


Parrish the thought....

 

[yakfish]

Time to start playing more physical. Go leafs go!

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Both Staals are gonna score. Thats a given

Went into future and found this:

 

[Brock Radunske]

Reims was great, the kids were solid. Good win. Loads of fun to watch this group is...loads of fun.

All this without Clarkson, who will add speed and grit and make them much tougher to play against along the boards! Let's hope he doesn't disrupt the flow though.

I don't think you'll see too many negative remarks about Reimer, the Leafs have two of the top goaltenders in the league. It was a gutsy win by a depleted team, can't wait 'til we're at full strength...Go Leafs!

The ONLY CHIRPING I hear is the crickets, because all of you Leaf HATERS who have been bashing this team for the last 10 years have got nothing to say! Great win.

Whaa? Nah, he's skating in quicksand but his physical and net presence will be awesome with Kadri and lupul.

 

[Eb]

Everyone take a selfie before the game in honor of Tlusty

Time to rock out with my **** out!!

Lol

Gettin' my 4 goal celebration ready

Lmao

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

So today was an optional skate as players asked Carlyle for it. Lupul was the sacrificial lamb (as worded by Carlyle) who went to him and asked for it.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

JvR highly unlikely to play tonight per Carlyle.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Need to step up. Kessel lupul kadri need to have better games. Especially now that JVR's injured too

So far raymond is the only one playing well. Lupul has been good, but can do better.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Need to step up. Kessel lupul kadri need to have better games. Especially now that JVR's injured too

So far raymond is the only one playing well. Lupul has been good, but can do better.

Lupul has been excellent the last two games. He owned the Minny D on Tuesday with his dekes and passes.

 

[Alerion]

Need to step up. Kessel lupul kadri need to have better games. Especially now that JVR's injured too

So far raymond is the only one playing well. Lupul has been good, but can do better.

Lupul and Kadri were both solid against Minny. I didn't see much from Kessel but I'm sure he'll bounce back.

[crump]

Reimer not on ice for optional skate today, likely means he is starting tonight. (Bernier was on the ice)

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

GDT will be up soon...

 

[dballislife2]

injuries piling up, canes and hawks gonna be tough games

 

[Eb]

Is Gerbe playing on the second line?

He cleared waivers to playing on the second line. Crazy.

 

[Khobahi]

Went into future and found this:

Thankfully only the 2nd period.... still the third to get that timely tie and then the W

 

[ACC1224]

This feels like a loss.

I'd expect Reimer to start after Tuesdays effort.

 

[TMLeafer]

GDT is up.
