GDT: Leafs @ Devils - 7pm - TSN

[Evilhomer]

That's all that's left to cheer for, Willy to get 100 and Matthews 70 goals. Home ice advantage is not worth cheering for.

Only about 11 more days until the real business starts.

 

[OVO16]

Im cheering for health tbh.

Sure Mathews getting 70 and willy getting 100 is great but if they go into the playoffs at 70% because someone slashed them on the wrist or something like that, ill be so mad

 

[Dayjobdave]

We need Willie to want to get to 100 points more. JT Miller reached 100 points last night with 3 helpers. If Willie gets 100, does Marner merit more money than Willie since he has never put up 40 goals or 100 points in a season? Asking for Tre.

that's right where my thinking is.

That's what I've been saying. Some have scoffed that milestones and numbers don't mean much but I think that's not true in hockey personally and in Willy's case signing that contract mid season in this environment, it is pretty significant he is considered a 100 point top 10 scorer.

Someone tried to come at me with no one cares about this but that's such a bad take I didn't even reply.

5 games left , needs 4 points. Maybe more to maintain top 10 status (he's dropped to 10th). Get it done Willy. This is Toronto.

not to mention I have Willie home and away sweaters!

Agreed, especially when you consider our home record in the playoffs recently.

 

[Evilhomer]

Agreed, especially when you consider our home record in the playoffs recently.

I don't disagree, but I have a feeling the Leafs will end up backing into home ice by virtue of Florida not putting much effort into its final four games.

 

[ACC1224]

Have we heard of a lineup for tonight?
Wouldn't be surprised if they gave Giordano the night off and dress Timmins.

 

[Stephen]

Win this one for Brady Tkachuk. Avenge Hischer’s post game EN nish nish.

 

[ToneDog]

Even though they shit the bed in game #7s, I still want game #7 in our barn. All 3 game #7s at home have been one goal games. We got blown out in 2 game #7s in Boston (7-4 and 5-1).

Should use the depth. Get Robertson Gregor and Timmins in.

Nothing as of yet... .but it would be a good night to rotate some players in and out.

I don't understand why this is a taboo thing in hockey to be honest. Happens all the time in other sports like NBA, NFL, MLB, soccer etc.

 

[Revolt]

Give me a couple of goals for Matthews and a couple of points for Nylander.

The chase for 70 and 100 respectively is on!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

What's the story with Jarnkrok. Is he ever not going to play?

Was skating at practice along with Liljegren yesterday. Speculation is that they could play one of the Florida games next week. Edmundson is close could play Thursday or Saturday as well.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

thankfully the playoffs to start soon

As others have said, Matthews hitting 70 (looking rather easy with the way he’s scoring) and nylander getting 100 (Looking tough with the way he’s playing) are all that’s left.

The games now just don’t feel as entertaining, even if we blow them out, but the players just don’t feel as into it either.

 

[TorMapleJays]

Maybe but FLA has a pretty powder puff schedule left.

Nylander's "That would be cool" comment, not giving one crap if he hits 100 or not pretty much confirms he's conserving himself for the playoffs.

If there's a player we have that wants a Cup badly it's Nylander.

Personally I want him to hit 110 points so then when Mitch asks for more money than Willie, he won't have a case because he has never reached the 40 goal and 100 point plateau.

Hope Mat just stands in the hash marks blasting everything that comes his way.

For both devils games: Domi-Matthews-Marner

They play the Sens tonight who they beat 6-0 last week. The Jackets, Sabres and Leafs. All home games. Worst case they save their best game for the Leafs. They are not gifting the Leafs home ice.

Teams like Ottawa, Columbus and Buffalo who have absolutely nothing to play for are most dangerous this time of year.

Agreed but not so much if home ice is on the line. We'll see who really wants home ice in the Atlantic starting tonight.

 

[OVO16]

I want Mathews and our stars to rest in the final 2 games in Florida.

I honestly dont care if he's close to 70 goals. Im prioritizing risk of injury

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I’d prefer he play a 200’ game and get dialed in for the important part of the season and maybe we can have some team success for a change.
