GDT: Leafs @ the Big Apple - TSN 7PM

[HockeyVirus]

JT got his 1000 points, but the game was lost in OT. Lots of positive things the past 2 games from the Leafs and hopefully we see them continue them against a red hot Rangers team.

As is tradition, now is the stolen part of the GDT from the opponents GDT:

Rangers Projected Line up

Chris Kreider -- Mika Zibanejad -- Jonny Brodzinski
Artemi Panarin -- Vincent Trocheck -- Alexis Lafreniere
Will Cuylle -- Nick Bonino -- Blake Wheeler
Jimmy Vesey -- Barclay Goodrow -- Tyler Pitlick

K'Andre Miller -- Jacob Trouba
Ryan Lindgren -- Adam Fox
Erik Gustafsson -- Braden Schneider

Igor Shesterkin
Jonathan Quick

Scratched: Zac Jones

Injured: Kaapo Kakko (lower body), Filip Chytil (upper body), (upper body)


Leafs lines to be updated later once confirmed.

Alright Marty Jones, lets see what you got.

Rags power play is scary

Honestly, if they can find a way to get a point out of this I would be happy.

Back-to-back baked in excuse ready to go... My confidence level in Mr. Jones is not high. So, unless the team plays a similar game to the NSH game on Saturday past, not sure how this one works out; of note the opponent is way better.

I use to drive by this guy every summer on my way to and from the cottage. Good pies.

My favorite place to pee and buy overpriced pie on the way to the cottage.

Fried apple pie…..yum.

Shesterkin doesn’t seem as airtight as in the past, and Rangers don’t seem to be defending the rush very well. On the other hand I think we’ll have a tough time with their big bodies and more physical style on the second of a back to back. Panarin is ripping it up.

 

[Jojalu]

Back to back pretty good games from the Leafs.

Rangers are good. Show up and compete and I will be happy.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

I don't think being in the 2nd game of a back to back hurts that much right now because of how few games we have played in the last month. Winnable game IMO.

 

[ACC1224]

Seems like the Leafs always play pretty well at MSG.

Seems like the Leafs always play pretty well at MSG.

10 wins 12 losses in the last 22 visits.

[ACC1224]

10 wins 12 losses in the last 22 visits.

Guess I was mistaken.
Always seemed to me that they lose on the Island and play well at MSG.

If it helps them stay focused a B2B could be a good thing.

Thanks. MSG usually does a good job, but I’ll stream when TSN is doing the game.

 

[Burnie97]

Stay out of the box and put pucks on net. Won't be an easy game to win but doable.

Leafs have to be willing to go to the net tonight and screen.

If they get powerplays it needs to click too. Jones I'm guessing is in. Hopefully he has a good game. Just need big saves at key times.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Rags power play is scary

Especially with Jones in net

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Yeah this should go well.

Let’s see how we stack up against a real contender. Lame loss last night, a win against the Rags (in regulation) would feel good.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

We will need all 4 lines clicking, can’t have the second line not contributing in this game too

Rangers are looking like the better team this season, we will need to be at our best to win this one. Need a competent goaltending game tonight for jones, also need to be strong defensively.

ya but we don’t want to risk giving away possession by shooting in high traffic. The only real reward for risk is the blind back passes.

 

[shaner8989]

Love McMann in for Reaves

Jones is scary. He’s so garbage

 

[Cleetus]

Thanks. MSG usually does a good job, but I’ll stream when TSN is doing the game.

yea I love the MSG broadcast ive always had a soft spot for Sam Rosen he is the best!
