Let's go boys!

 

[PromisedLand]

Le't not get carried away here and let our expectations get too high, I just want him to be in the best shape he can possibly be in for the playoffs. Though 2 goals tonight would be nice.

BTW, he has said that he won't be back to 100% this season, how seriously should we be taking that comment? Is he just trolling the rest of the league or is he serious? If not 100% then what, 85%? 90% 95%?

I can't help but be a bit worried, it's hard to see us getting past Boston or TB without Matthews making an enormous contribution. If he kills it tonight that would go a long way to assuaging my fears.

What? When did Auston say this? That’s troubling if true. How serious was that injury anyway?

Damn I was gung-ho about his return didn’t know he isn’t 100%

This sucks!

 

[PromisedLand]

Z is back as well. Carrick and Leivo (of course) out

So that means Polak in FML

Most hockey players aren't 100% this time of year, he's still by far our best option on the top line. Let's Kadri, Bozak and Plekanec all play where they belong.

Gardiner - Zaitsev pairing... ouff, ugly.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Zaitsev better have a good game, he's running out of time to figure things out

Better than Polak-Gardiner. Now that was ugly. Even though Polak was OK by his standards.

Not according to that deal he signed in the summer.

 

[Ratboy]

ahhhhhhh, Zaitsevs a sophmore coming off of an injury.
Matthews is a sophmore coming off of injuries (its obviously affected him).
Marner is a sophmore and had a hard time for half the year, but turned it around.
Nylander had a hard time earlier this season.
Gardiner is 27 and had an unbelievably bad first half to the season.

Chill out, Z will be fine.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Not according to that deal he signed in the summer.

I'm talking about him having 9 games to get into proper form for the playoffs. if he plays like he's been playing during the year he'll kill us

Molson Canadian Leafs Game Day: Toronto at Nashville - March 22, 2018

This sucks!

I think it was a few days ago. I don't remember the exact quote and it was kind of vague so I'm not sure what to make of it myself. I guess we'll find out tonight.

 

[Ratboy]

I can't remember. My first guess would have been STL (but maybe that's because the game Cor brought up was against STL). Chicago would have been my second guess but yeah, can't remember. I spent a minute googling it but couldn't find it, maybe I'll try again in a bit if I have time.

I was young, Fuhr was in net so I'm thinking it was around 1990 or so. Leafs went down 5-0, and they ended up coming back to tie it at 5 and won it in overtime. Some dude beside us was from Calgary and he was being all cocky, then when they lost he took off in a huff. That's all I remember.

I loved the Gardens.

Sportsnet Ontario... that means I’ll be blacked out once again... I hate this bull of blacking out games outside of Toronto. I’m currently living in Ottawa and it’s such a drag when it’s on Tsn4 or Sportsnet Ontario. I miss the days where there weren’t so many channels and you always got to watch the leafs. What is the purpose of blacking out games?

if only there was some other way...

I end up watching it online but it’s just not the same. Every once in a while the quality becomes shitty or it freezes

Jet fan here.

Make you guys a deal, beat the Preds tonight and we will return the favor next Tuesday against the Bruins.

Good luck tonight and in the PO's

to make you buy NHL centre ice.

stream instead.

well he just came back from the flu. i doubt tonight will be the game where it will be 'good'.

I don’t live in the Toronto area either the blackouts drove me nuts last year so I invested in NHL center ice. Worth every penny I haven’t missed a game this year

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Probably not. I'm pretty worried he won't be in suitable playoff form on time for us
