Think this will be a high-scoring game. Leafs have tons of offense. Hopefully CMac plays like he did in his last start at Nationwide.....

I don't mind shuffling some lines around. We have to be prepared to ice different looks in the post season.

This is a big game for the locker room. Its one thing to compete hard and fall in a close game to the hottest team in the league, but you can't follow that up with a loss to a team that you should beat.

Oh man, does CMAC really get the start?? If so, I expect a shutout.

Don't say that!! The last two games I have been to we have been shutout, and tonight I am taking my granddaughter with me.

I would really like to see a few goals scored for a change. If not for me, but for my granddaughter. She loves the CBJ, and will be in full Jacket regalia.

Wait is Bjorkstrand actually playing? Here's to hoping he sticks around!

Going to the game tonight and Friday against Pittsburgh!

CMac with a .935 save% and 2.12 gaa in his 4 games with the Leafs since the trade.

Leafs really are an up and coming team. Marner and Matthews are great young forwards. Got a chance to watch Marner in his draft year and was very surprised that Strome went one spot in front of him in the draft.

February 15th and we are just seeing Toronto for the first time. That leaves only Buffalo as the remaining team Columbus has yet to face.

3 point night from Werenski, a goal and 2 assists - 2 of which come from the power play.

A Sam Gagner sighting.

Bob is gracious in welcoming CMac back to Columbus during pregame - then schools him in how to play the position.

Hoping for fast start. Get under Curtis skin and then r..e is coming...in reality we give him easy saves-> Man of the match and win for Leafs...

I have to believe Bob's pride will have him sharp for tonight. I'll be bummed if he loses the goalie battle - but likely not as bummed as he would be.

If the CBJ can get to the net and between the dots (and hit the net), they'll cream these guys.

McElhinney's biggest weakness is his rebound control. If they focus on peppering him with shots and collecting rebounds, they'll have no problem. If they try to beat him with every shot, he could simply shut them out.

If TOR keeps them outside the dots and along the walls, it will be a long night.
