Pre-Game Talk: CBJ@TOR - Monday!

[Warden of the North]

Jackets played today, hopefully we start on time and with some jump and take advantage. They always play us hard.

Hopefully Dermott plays again too.

should be a good one, the Jackets just beat the panthers in a shoot out looked ok hopefully we come out with some jump and get another 2 points, boston just came back from a 3-1 deficit and look un real right now

 

[54thecup]

Ya, we get both the Jackets and Senators on their back to backs! Great opportunity but cant take anything for granted!!

 

[Zybalto]

Nice the jackets had to play maximum hockey today before flying in to face us.

Gotta jump on them early before they find their legs.

 

[Suntouchable13]

It's on TSN, thank God.

 

[Apotheosis]

I have an early work day, so thank God. Get to come home, work out, eat and then sit down and watch the game. Catching Columbus on a back to back. Hoping for a big game from the big 3.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

they're a tough team to beat, but so are we when we come to play. hope we do

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Will we make another backup/average goalie look elite?, is the real question.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

Boston gained a point by losing to pens in OT..

We need to take advantage of this and regain the lead.

Dermott and kappy should be brought in for the speed. Jackets were quicker last time we faced off

 

[Cleetus]

looks like we will see korpisalo tomm, he usually beats us?

 

[CelticDruid]

3 point games are going to be the norm from now on time to bank some points.Need some players to wake up!

 

[Intact]

Games like this are why we brought in Babcock. Good team who played last night, who is struggling mightily right now with injuries, and coached by Tortorella. Columbus' game plan is going to very obvious, they will try and get out to a lead and play very low-event hockey the rest of the way. We got last change, Andersen, we're 13-6-0 at home, Columbus is 9-9-3 on the road. We have to get at least a point here

Isn't it tough , if Detroit catch us we actually drop out of the playoffs and look better than we should . All despite adding Marleau , Hainsey and Borgman.

If a garbage team like Detroit catches us when after half the season they trail by 11 points, we don't deserve to be in the playoffs no matter what our roster looks like.

we are definitely making the playoffs unless we get awful injury luck

 

[Maplebeasts]

Oh I know. Even with awful injury luck we'd still likely make it. We have depth and our division below the top three is that bad

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Yea but we won't be going far if we keep playing like we have been.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

it doesn't sound like Dubinksy, Murray, Weenberg, Atkinson or goalie will be playing, this is a depleted lineup and they are on the 2nd game of a back to back.

This is a game I expect to win, this is the type of game the Leafs should win

Lol, Detroit isn't catching us. If Dermott doesn't play I'll be shocked, he looked great.

 

[DarkKnight]

I know Babs doesn't want two rookie D in the lineup, but it's not like Carrick is some grizzled vet, and Borgman has simply out played him to date. I get the left/right argument, but Dermott has shown he can play his offside and Carrick stinks, so.

They're going to play without a goalie? Are they going to do the old 6-man stack in front of the net?

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

NCAA Football Championship game tonight....and the Raptors. Keep your remote handy.

I thought Bergman was doing fine. Hoping he doesn't just sit, but if not playing let him play with the Marlies. Maybe have him playing the right side for and if his a a candidate for that spot. Leafs are crossing their fingers that Dermot and Borgman are NHLers....and soon.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Win please

 

[Torontonian]

These are "must win" games... Cbj has been struggling of late, they have 3 or 4 injury's to good players on their team, aswell they played last night and more then likely wont have Bob playing tonight. Good teams show up to these games and win, not come out flat.

also Dermott better be in the line up again, looked good in the 12 mins he played

If theres one thing I know about the Leafs its that none of this matters whatsoever.
