Also need to keep Gio out of the lineup and Robertson stays in

Anyone know if Scheifele will still be out for them? Would be huge if they had one less weapon after getting Connor back.

Sammy was phenomenal vs Seattle but that facial expression…
This Winnipeg miniseries is going to be tough.

Going to be in tough the next two.
Win or lose at least we'll know whether Van Ryn has passed all the tests.

Leafs will win this game and Samsonov will be the reason why. I think he is going to go on a nice run and buy the team a bit more time to get Woll back in good shape.

Don’t know much about Van Ryn’s coaching preferences but at Real Sports the 50% of the game used sticks seem to be Van Ryn. For a coach that guy goes through a lot of pro stock.

Wouldn't it stick in their craw if the Leafs were the ones to end their streak. It is impressive can't lie. Both their goalies have been outstanding.

Almost certain that the Jets will start Brossoit on Wednesday, and despite his numbers this season I can see the Leafs offense beating him up.

I don't think the schedule will be an issue for the Leafs. To be honest, they will probably benefit from playing some better teams.

Expecting them to get their cheeks clapped in these next two.

But they’re boring teams. I know they have to play the western conference so I guesss it’s good to get them out of the way.

I don't think anyone would have described that Vancouver game as boring. Seattle, no doubt.

I haven't watched any Jets games this season, but I have trouble believing they are as good as their record suggests. This is basically the same team that positively turtled against Vegas in the first round last season. I think they've just been on an unsustainable heater since the end of December beating up on some of the league's worst teams (Minny x2, San Jose, Anaheim, Chicago, Columbus, Ottawa, NYI, etc.) and will come back down to Earth.

Games against Canadian rivals are usually pretty good. Hard not to look forward to these two games, be a great test.
Not terribly fond of the title. Hasn't "bubble" usually only be used for situations like the 2020 NHL, NBA, and MLB playoffs where multiple teams are brought together in on spot to play all their games? Do we really want to stretch the term to include all seasons under strict COVID restrictions like the 2020 MLB regular season or the 2020-21 NHL season?
"COVID North Division rivalry" or something similar might be more accurate.

They're one of the best teams in the league, and we've had some pretty explosive matchups against them in recent history. Weird take.

The new part is that it's not just their goalies carrying the team along with timely goals from their forwards, they're genuinely elite defensively now
An elite defense + arguably the best goalie in the league is a great duo to have

I always hate playing winnipeg
Hellebuyck is always near unbeatable, and that’s with them being an otherwise average team but they look very good now
We will need all core 4, even the corpse of Tavares going. Depth and defence has to be on point. Samsonov cannot turn into a seive
