Hopefully we come out strong after "bye week 2.0"

Really should merge this with the real bye week.

Boston (Saturday) after the back to back. Let's see how good they really are.
(Wednesday) Another chance to showcase our young team to Tavares.
(Thursday) We chase The Monarch.

Yes, Wednesday at home vs the NYI.
Leafs are in NY Thursday and Boston Saturday.
They don't play Boston back to back.
How do they chase The Monarch?

Zaitsev and/or Rielly could be very close to ready.

I wonder what the Leafs do with their log jam. There's no way they can send Kapanen and Dermott down... right?

kapanen is already down because of the all-star break and he will probably stay there. dermott is gonna be sent down if one of reilly/zaitsev returns from injury

He was but why replace him at the all-star game then? I'm pretty sure the plan is to have him back since the Leafs had 5 days off.

The Leafs have been so much better with him in the lineup and he's been really good. I will be pretty miffed if they play him Wednesday and onwards.

...Nothing changed. Kapanen was playing with the same amount of players were healthy just last Thursday.

I'm confused.
he was playing because we were on the road trip. once we're back at home we won't see him in the lineup

We usually struggle with these guys, and they have the potential to take advantage of us with their high octane offense. Andersen will need to be on and the team will have to be sharp defensively.

I feel like we're going to turn a corner here.
Kadri and his line went on an unsustainably bad 20 game run and the team suffered for it. 2 points in 20 games is nuts.
We have way more to give. Things are going up boys.

My Brother's favourite team is the Isles dating back to the Isles dynasty days of Bossy and Trottier of the 1980's.

So my Leafs vs his Islanders is always an added bragging rights affair on these head to head matches.

PS. When Lanny scored in OT against the Isles is the last time I got the last laugh here.

How about the playoff round we won against them?
