Pre-Game Talk: Flyers vs Leafs-April 4th Getting closer

[Sergei Berezin]

Anyone know if O'Byrne will be in Toronto in time for the game?

 

[CanadasTeam]

Not sure if he'll be in the lineup tomorrow.

Maybe the leafs pro scouts did see something in him. Sure sounds like a Carlyle type player.

His best season recently was 2010-11 alongside Leafs defenceman John-Michael Liles when both were together in Colorado, and it’s expected that pairing will be reunited in Toronto.

O’Bryne can also kill penalties and fight, much like current Leafs defenceman Mark Fraser and much to the liking of Carlyle, who likely saw him play in the Western Conference quite a bit.

Is this the first time this season that we've played another team on the tail end of a back to back and not being on one ourselves?

No, the stat you're probably thinking of is that the leafs this season have always played their second game of a back-to-back against a rested team.

 

[Warden of the North]

Cant wait. Been too long without hockey

A little nervous over the Mason trade. Hopefully he won't pull a rookie season level of play out of his hat and throttle us. We just need 6 wins and we are you-know-where.

How good is Mason against us?

 

[deleteme24]

Burn the boats!

 

[Pi]

How good is Mason against us?

.841 4.30GAA BUT...he's won 2 games and lost 2 games!

That most likely means he had 2 good games and 2 games where he **** the bed.

 

[Sergei Berezin]

Leafs lost 3 of 14 games in regulation in March and then 4 in SO.

18 of 28 possible points earned.

Not too shabby.

 

[South Florida Canuck]

Sometimes I worry that these long breaks can hurt more than help. I hope we can take advantage of a tired Flyers team tomorrow

 

[The Reaper]

Philly is beating the Habs 4-3 and also will win 3 in a row

I know! so bored!
tomorrow's game is going to be interesting too!

 

[ungentrified]

Let's make their first actual winning streak of the season an abbreviated one.

 

[The Saurus]

I was hoping Montreal would lose, giving the Bruins a better shot at overtaking the division lead. We need Montreal to fall back to fourth so we can meet them for the first time in the playoffs in almost forever.

LEts get it. HAbs vs leafs first round.

Not even six. Five should do it.

This. Theres no reason for the leafs to not come out flying tomorrow night.

 

[Pi]

I have a gut feeling that the Leafs will get home advantage.

We need the two wins against Montreal. Desperately.

We can get the 4th seed.

 

[The Reaper]

Flyers has also came back in their 3 game winning streak

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Tomorrow, a 3 game winning streak will snap. Let's hope its the Flyers

 

[The Saurus]

Flyers has also came back in their 3 game winning streak

Four points out with 10 or 11 games left doesn't bode well for them. I think they'll take 9th though.

 

[SpeakerForTheDead]

I think they hurt in the first game after the break because of slight rust but they help in the week or so after that first game as their stamina is able to recover every subsequent day faster.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

If mason plays , I feel like we could score a few goals. Like at least four.

 

[Purity*]

Take advantage of a tired Flyers team..

Skate hard and play them hard! Leafs are very well rested and I'm sure they will take advantage of that... Let's hope that Mason has a bad debut too...

philly's defense is not that good, nor is it that deep, they don't have enough defensemen to cover all of our main offensive threats, so I think between that and them being tired we could be in for a solid win..

 

[The Reaper]

If we get the lead, let's hope we can keep it
