You Leaf fans will get to witness tonight just how awful a player Heatley has become. Whoever your slowest skater is, chances are he's twice as fast as Heatley.

I can never tell if these Leafs tv Practices are live or repeats......

JVR is/was practicing today

According to all the tweets JVR started off at practice but left early. The Leafs TC Game Day skates usually start at 10 or 10:30 go for two hours then repeat. So if you are watching now it would be near the start of the repeat.

He'll still probably score two goals against us. 51 points in 40 career games vs. the Leafs. :P

I hope everything is fine with JVR..we need this guy.

Also I must state yet again...Ranger looked fine in that disastrous game we played against the oilers. I hope he continues that trend after the last two, Gardiner needs him to be a solid partner so both can shine. I hope Rielly and Franson also shows something special would be nice to see them be well tonight to recoup from that last game.

Also I'm fairly excited to see Parise, Suter, Koivu, Brodin and Granlund from the Wild. I wish we could see my Coyle, I love that kid.

Son of a *****. Everything about that sucks.

I still like Reims but I would've like to see bernier get a bounce back game. Also, this game has the potential to really put Reimer as #2. Unless of course our D-men show up tonight. That would be nice.

Listen to you guys, throwing in the towel just because JVR might not go...

HAVE SOME FAITH!

Even without JVR... Kessel, Kadri, Lupul, Bolland all going good right now. Our D is sure to have a bounce-back game, especially Franson, and Reimer is going to be a man on a mission to try and take his net back.


WE GOT THIS!
