I think the week off has been good for me honestly. Regular season is long and the time away has me really looking forward to watching on Monday. Sort of a recharge.
This is the basically the home stretch now. I honestly hope we stay in that WC1 spot. I want no part of Florida or Boston until the CF if we make it that far.

Curious what version of Samsonov shows up for the remainder of the season, I’m not confident Woll will be able to just pick up where he left off before going down with the injury. The D is Swiss cheese so whoever’s in goal will have to be more than good to earn a playoff spot imo……..

This will have major implications of where this team goes in the final half of the season.
I know it was just an All-Star setting, but those goalies that were there... holy shit were they good, and confident.
I hope whoever is wearing the Blue & White from here on out is amazing, from Sammy on out.

I'm sure the first period will be a typical snoozer after a long layoff, but the Islanders have lost 7 of their last 8 and have managed to become an even worse team under Roy. It will be interesting to see if Lou is able to swallow his pride and start selling off some of his older players.

This has the look of a trap game for the Leafs after the AS weekend hangover.

Going to this game. Had a choice, either Allstar game or this game. Went with this.
So the boys better secure a W here.

I dunno. Leafs had 4 active players, Isles had 1 during the break.
Hoping our all-stars come ready to play and get it done. Might just depend on the goalie.

Seems like we're playing the Islanders every 2 weeks and it's so, so boring... doesn't seem right that we see them as much as the Canadiens in one season.

Looking forward to them getting back at it. They’ll be in tough Wednesday so two points in this one is a must.
6 straight home games, need to make some hay here.

Between two trips out west and the bye week/all star break the schedule since Christmas has been all over the place. Hopefully a little more consistent going forward.

Just show up ready to rumble.
Players have about 3 weeks to prove they belong.

Agreed.
For whatever reason they have been pretty poor at home. Time to turn that around!
Plus that trip to Sweden. Seems like there has been a lot of breaks this year.
I can't remember a schedule being this awful

They'll do nothing and let the season play out.
Are they worthy of giving up assets for?

You said they have 3 weeks to prove they belong. The consequence? Nothing.
That might be true for some players, and those are the players who probably won't be back.
So, yeah for some who want out of Toronto no consequence, and that is probably good for the team and the player.
If you can't bring it take it somewhere else.
