GDT: New Jersey @ Toronto - Tuesday 7:30 - TSN

[Fogelhund]

Meaningless games rest anyone who needs it.

We have both the depth, and our place in the standings, that allows us to rest guys, and make sure that we are as healthy as we can be when it counts. It's a very good strategy.

[OVO16]

Edmundson blocked a lot of hard shots in the Carolina game. Was limping after a couple of them

Have to assume that's the reason for the injury. Might as well rest him now. We need him against the Bruins/Panthers

 

[DarkKnight]

Boosh paired with Brodie tonight. Should be interesting.

 

[Torontonian]

Would like to see Toronto start to sharpen up in their own end, and start to get into playoff mode starting tonight. 12 Games left, you cannot go into the playoffs limping, need to start putting everything together.

 

[tom leafers]

Everyones focused on the Bruins and Panthers, hell were only 4 points up on Tampa, albeit it with a game in hand and we play Tampa twice down the stretch. While were in control, 3rd place in the Atlantic is far from secured

The lineup dressed tonight won't be the one that starts the playoffs.

His father passed away and his wife was diagnosed with MS.

Jesus.

I’d be on Robidas Island crying every day.

There are some good MS drugs these days. Vitamin D + keto as well.

Even if we slide into a wildcard spot, it might not be the worst scenario for us under the circumstances.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Prime Muzzin and Murray back for game 1.

Tampa is inconsistent, so they will likely lose a couple games in a row and stay where they are.

Thankfully the Leafs are the very model of consistency in effort and results.

Even if they slip into a wildcard spot isn't it still conceivable that they end up with the Panthers anyway? I think I've just made my peace with the fact that to get to the cup they're going through Florida and Boston and it's just the order to be determined.

I would think an 18-6 record over the last couple of months is pretty consistent, no?

There's no "easy route" to the cup in the East, especially in the Atlantic, You can argue Philadelphia and whatever team finish in the last WC spot are the easier teams.

Thats what i was thinking as well. Either way wel be classed as the underdog which i really hope goes to the boys heads and they play their hearts out. I can hope so at least

Not to mention we all saw what happened in the bubble year when they had the “easy” road to the cup. I say screw it, beat the best to be the best. Feels better that was anyway.

Pretty much how we should be perceiving this and likely how they are perceiving it too.

who do we play if we drop below tampa ?
That would be A1 (likely the Panthers).

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Old friend Travis Green in town. Jersey has been hot as of late? Jake Allen for sure has been.

Pretty sure he had a better one in the series against the Islanders (top shelf if I recall). Can't find it on my phone right now.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Leafs are 5 pts up on Tampa for third in the division. If they drop to the first WC spot they play the Rangers. I see that as a better matchup than Florida or Boston. Just sayin'.

 

[rumman]

I would stay home too if Tessa was there.

Boing………..

Boosh paired with Brodie tonight. Should be interesting.

I expect another tire fire from Brodie, he’s consistent, I’ll give him that much………..

 

[rumman]

Jesus.

I’d be on Robidas Island crying every day.

There are some good MS drugs these days. Vitamin D + keto as well.

And bee stings………

Tampa is inconsistent, so they will likely lose a couple games in a row and stay where they are.

So Tampa is catching the Leafs now that you’ve predicted the opposite……….

WC1 will play the #2 seed. Today that is Florida while WC2 will play the #1 seed, NYR. The good thing this year is that nobody knows 100% who they will meet in round #1.

The variety alone would be worth it.
