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

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Not going to live I'm expecting a win tomorrow and a fairly big one at that.

The boys have been off for 4 days and SHOULD come up fresh. The flyers on the other hand are playing back to back are DESTROYED by injuries to their D as well as Talbot, Briere, and Shelly up front.

Because this is back to back you also gotta think Mason will be playing.and while I DO believe he can get his career on track now that he's out of Columbus the fact still remains.

His GAA in 3 of 4 seasons has been north of 3 and this year 2.95.

Save % 899.

Career GAA 2.90 Save % 903. his career numbers are HORRIFIC how much of that has to do with being a Jacket? I gues we will know if he turns it around.

but I do know Leafs are 3rd in goals for.If Mason plays today we could and should tear him apart

 

[Damisoph]

They're expecting Mason to start but I don't think they've announced it.

Just the sort of game for a back up goalie to come up big. The boys have to bring it tonight

 

[NoTouchIcing]

No Leo or Mac per Siegel.

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050 2m
Leo Komarov told me he's not ready to go tonight.

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050 1m
Clarke MacArthur also a no-go tonight.

 

[KingBuzzo]

Looks like Joe will be in with Mac and Komo out. I wonder what the lines will look like.

So Colborne's probably in (hopefully).

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Kulemin
McClement - Grabovski - Frattin
Hamilton - Colborne - Orr

 

[blue82]

reimer will need to be sharp tonight

 

[SprDaVE]

JVR - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Kulemin
McClement - Grabovski - Frattin
Hamilton - Colborne - Orr

Pretty much what I expect as well.

 

[Kurisu]

poor Mason. Struggles on the defensive Western conference, goals to "goalie graveyard" philadephia and he's going to get exploited on a more offensively oriented Eastern Conference.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

Lupul-Kadri-Kulemin
JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Frattin-Colborne-Grabovski
Orr-McClement-Hamilton

 

[Asif16*]

MClaren, MAcarthur, Komarov.....all a no-go tonight???

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Kulemin
Mcclement-Grabo-Frattin
Hamilton-Colbourne-Orr

Most likely imo

Edit: Mclaren is a "game time decision". So if he plays, he most likely takes hamiltons spot on the Fourth line.

 

[GenericFan2*]

Hamilton's been pretty impressive lately, glad Carlyle's giving him some games at a consistent rate.

 

[Carter IV]

this is a must win game. Philly playing back to back games and leafs had lots of time off
4-2 leafs

 

[Deebo]

Beat reporters think Leo and Mac won't be back in and Hamilton will dress, Colborne will get in if McLaren isn;t able to play.

The term "must win" is thrown around way too much.

The term "must win" is thrown around way too much.

Every game is "must win".

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

hopefully I can find a Leaf feed tonight always get other clubs feed

 

[The Reaper]

This game can easily be a letdown for us

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Every game is "must win".

that is only true once the playoffs start

 

[Pi]

This game can easily be a letdown for us

We've said that for the last 8 games and it's 5-0-3 since.

If they lose, they lose. It would be nice to continue this though...I think we can get home ice if we get some more urgency in our game.

 

[ACC1224]

This game can easily be a letdown for us

I don't see why it would be a letdown. I would think that the confidence shown in them by basically standing pat at the deadline will help to energize them.

 

[mcleex]

I thought Hamilton got sent back down to the Marlies

 

[Deebo]

Every game is "must win".

Why?

What happens if the Leaf lose tonight?

 

[Smif]

It's a "would be really nice if they won" game.
