Pre-Game Talk: TML @ NYR Dec 23 7pm EST

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Personally, I think it was our PP entry schemes that did it. Damn it, I tell you, damn it straight to hell!

I heard he was roughed up in the street by an unknown assailant who shouted "Now Babcock will have to change the lines" as he fled

 

[al secord]

I think he ate contaminated romaine lettuce.

 

[stickty111]

Oh yes, now we are the point that Babcock caused Matthews to have a concussion.

 

[Ratboy]

Oh yes, now we are the point that Babcock caused Matthews to have a concussion.

Yeah he ordered Reilly to run into him, obviously.

 

[Budsfan]

 

[Cotton]

yeah but that can disappear quickly. we also had a comfortable lead over 3rd in the atlantic at one point

The schedule’s been f***ed this year.

1st half; 19 against West, 13 against Metro, 9 against Atlantic.

2nd half; 11 against West, 11 against Metro, 19 against Atlantic.

That’s going to be an interesting second half.

Second half will be fun. Hopefully we'll get to pound the piss out of Montreal, Ottawa, Buffalo and Florida and bank some serious points. Would be amazing if Andersen can also stay undefeated against Boston.

Yep.

Still haven't played Buffalo or Tampa yet and we're nearly at the new year.

lol we're f***ed. tampa will kill us, we suck in buffalo, ottawa and mtl have pounded us, fla and detroit are meh and boston looks better than us. i predict we go 7-10-2 in those 19 atlantic games

 

[realgoodleafs]

I think you mean Babcrook. Gave Matthews a concussion after he stole 50 million bucks.

The Leafs have more home games in the second half than away games, plus all of their major road trips out west are done. Should be an easier travel schedule and should stay relatively rested.

Better than last year with all of those back to backs

I think Leafs can go toe to toe against TB provided they actually play well. Leafs are second best team in the Atlantic, bar none. None of the teams behind us scare me at all. We're going to f*** up Buffalo, MTL, FLA, Ottawa and Detroit. Boston is also not a great team, despite how they have been playing lately. We're going to have 12 wins in that stretch.

boston is better than us . they're finally healthy and they have been playing great.

Ottawa and Montreal are garbage this year and we crushed Detroit, Buffalo and Florida last season and swept the Bruins. It's not 2014 anymore.

 

[1specter]

They're playing better right now but they are playing their best hockey while we're playing our worst. They are top heavy but we have superior depth and when both teams are at their best I take the Leafs easily.

well ottawa has won 8/9 against us, mtl doesn't look atorcious anymore so they will beat us, we suck in buffalo and the leafs will probably blow it in toronto as well, last year was flukey against florida and boston is healthy and playing great

i definitely wouldn't. we rely on andy like crazy and give up too many shots. if andy shows signs of average play, we aren't a good team. rask is looking pretty good recently and khudobin has been amazing this year

 

[Rare Jewel]

You may as well pack it in here then.

Bye.

5 games against buffalo in that too

 

[Warden of the North]

We've played a ton of hockey with two western road trips already. Our schedule has been brutal. Hell, we still have 4 games left in December, so its going to be another couple weeks before things loosen up a bit.

 

[CelticDruid]

The Leafs better start playing with fire in their bellies as other teams are starting the push for playoff spots in earnest.

 

[Kiwi]

Since then Ottawa have completely imploded, Buffalo are playing like a joke, were clearly better than Florida especially with Riemer in net and we've dispatched Boston over the last year and a half and Montreal got hot and crashed back to earth again

That sorry bunch worries you?

yup. as a leafs fan you cant have nice things

 

[Zybalto]

Last 6/12 games are against buffalo/habs. If they're out of the playoffs and we are fighting for position, we may be playing a few more rookies than usual along with a string of backups as those teams tank for the Dahlen sweepstakes.

Problem is that playing Buffalo or a struggling Ottawa ect (which should be easy points) isn’t. Teams get up to play us, none more than divisional rivals.

I think we’ll be fine against Florida, Detroit and possibly Boston. Buffalo, Montreal and Ottawa, no idea.

Tampa will kill us.
