GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs (14-8-0) @ Florida Panthers (7-11-2) | 7:00 PM EST | SNO

[Morgs]

FLA's lines outside of that first line are terrible.

Early in the season but we shouldnt lose back to back games to ARZ and FLA.

Trocheck is very very good.

James Reimer Stats and News

.888 - oops

But so many said that he and Andersen were on the same tier!

 

[Clark4Ever]

I thought Reimer would have torched us since he left, but we've had success against him. Hopefully that will continue tonight.

James Reimer Stats and News

.888 - oops

I knew those stats but didn't post them, because it actually supports the apologists who always use the raw stats to argue he's as good as Andersen. Reimer never was as good as Andersen, that's obvious to everyone in the league, regardless of save percentage analysis. Reimer is a great backup, bit off this year, but a good guy to have in case your starter fades. There's a reason two separate management teams here gave up on him....Anyways.

 

[Brobust]

Trocheck is very very good.

Very good, dragged down by atrocious linemates.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Very good, dragged down by atrocious linemates.

He's got 9 goals and 21 points in 20 games

 

[Randy Randerson]

Very good, dragged down by atrocious linemates.

they still have 3 guys above a ppg pace, and Dadonov is scoring at a better clip than Marner or Nylander in support of those 3. We shouldn't sleep on these guys

Barkov is also very Matthews-like, he can take over a game on every shift in all 3 zones

 

[Liferleafer]

If they lose this one Babs should re-think his line combos (he should regardless)

I understand him wanting players to step up, but i think i would shake it up right from the get go tonight.

 

[Liferleafer]

According to the Panthers GDT....it's $5 beer night at the game. I am willing to bet a bunch of Leafs fans show up!!

 

[zeke]

Like the Coyotes, the panthers are more dangerous than their record suggests.

Leafs best show up tonight.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Just win.

The whole league is playing tonight in order to avoid US Thanksgiving.

I understand with the American teams, but why can't Toronto and Ottawa play tomorrow? Or Winnipeg and Calgary? Why does the NHL feel compelled to hide even Canadian teams from Thanksgiving football?

 

[MJ65]

We should win this one after that loss on Monday

Go Leafs Go

Especially now that NFL viewership is down.

 

[MintyFresh88]

Just FYI, our lines are likely looking like this tonight:

Huberdeau - Barkov - Dadonov
Haapala(NHL debut) - Trocheck - Bjugstad
McGinn - McCann - Sceviour
Brickley - Balisy - Haley

So...that guy is scoring a goal against us. We're down 1-0 so far and the game hasn't even started! Haha.

that shouldn't matter.
they should show up every night. now if they lost or whatever that's fine - but you should at least show up.

 

[Daisy Jane]

that's classy that he apologised for it.

Because i think the assumption is Canadians will be watching US Football.

Who is hurt? Guys don't usually make their NHL debuts in the top 6

They should show up every game but it's not really possible, some games you're just flat.

It's like saying you should get 100 on every math test because it's a logic test and every problem has a solution but in reality you're just not going to know the answer to every question.

The Leafs struggle against Florida and Florida IMO is better than their record. It wouldn't surprise me if this is a dud game for the Leafs.

He should but he won't.

I can watch both. I do it all the time.

They had their dud game against Arizona it's time to step up
