Pre-Game Talk: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Edmonton Oilers | TUE OCT 29 9PM (EST)

[mikebel111*]

It's amazing how it only takes 1 game to put ashton back in many people's lineups.

I told you guys once he got 3rd line minutes. he would do really well.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Reimer definitley deserves the start.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

I'd be happy if we keep getting one player back every game.

Lupul - Edmonton
Fraser - Calgary
Kulemin - Vancouver
Bozak - New Jersey (which is 6 days after the Vancouver game)

 

[Kessley Snipes*]

As a Leaf Fan living in Edmonton, I am quite excited about the opportunity to attend a game. Should be fun with 10,000+ Leafs fans invading Rexall

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Agh 9PM start??? That's past my bedtime!

You must be 80

 

[edwardslane]

I GOT TICKETS Yay! $280 for mid quality seats .. Golds in both this and calgary were over 500+ each.. Ugh didn't want to pay that.

Dad and I are going to this and Calgary back to back! Can't wait! Going to be awesome.. Hoping we can get the Alberta sweeep!

Very doable if the team plays hard. We have to not play down to our opponents.

No Taylor hall is a big break. Though The oilers will be playing hard knowing their best player is out of the lineup.

You must be 80

I'm actually 8 as suggested earlier in this thread.

 

[TheBigThree]

Fraser in for ranger would be great.

Even Edmonton is a step up from Fort Mac.

 

[lschenn02]

Even Edmonton is a step up from Fort Mac.

I agree, but as a Mining Engineer there arent too many better places to start a career and get much needed experience! The pay doesnt hurt either lol

 

[Orfieus]

I expect JVR - Kadri - Kessel to be dominate.

I expect Lupal - Bolland - Clarkson to be dominate.

I expect the bottom 6 to be grinders and not give up a goal.

Those are my expectations.

 

[p.l.f.]

JVR Kadri Kessel
Lupul Bozak Clarkson
Raymond Bolland Kulemin

Is this what most want to see when everyones back?
Seeing that it's taboo to earn over 5 mil as a 3rd liner)

 

[Tyler Biggs*]

Toronto are top of the East, even with all the injuries. Pittsburgh are the only team in their division above .500. There are 5 teams above .500 in the Atlantic division with winning records.

 

[Pyrophorus]

Yeah we're winning against Edmonton and Vancouver, but we're probably going to get roasted by the Flames. Don't we always wet the bed in Calgary?

We have a 9 year drought IN Calgary
a 10 year drought against the Nucks overall.

These will have to end for us to have success.
This could be an 0-3 trip. I hope not.

what happened to being in your prime?

 

[Hurt]

what happened to being in your prime?

8 is the prime. Internet moderators don't usually last past 15.

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

[p.l.f.]

Toronto Edmonton trade rumors might get going now

just a minor deal maybe like....

reimer gardiner bozak kulemin ranger for hopkins yakupov dubynk ference

 

[colchar]

Don't get cocky . We won by the skin of our teeth last time and could very well lose a 5-4 blowout.

5-4 isn't a blowout. It is a shootout, but not a blowout.

A blowout is 5-1, 7-2, etc.

 

[wetcardboard]

Should be a dandy. Still haven't gotten word if I'm getting my companies tickets or not, but the last 3 years I've got them. Our seats are about 5 rows up on the blueline across from the benches.

Considering the Leafs have been near the bottom of the standings most of the times we've played in Edmonton (in recent memory), the Leafs fans should be even louder now that it's 1st in the east vs last in the west.

I hear Steve Dangle is making the trip too?

 

[I am Canadian]

Taylor Hall is out a month with a knee injury. So won't be playing in this game.

I think Reimer deserves this start with his play against Pittsburgh.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Hope we play better than the last time we faced them. Dubbie gifted us that game

 

[Warden of the North]

Reimer should be in

 

[BertCorbeau]

Yup, roll Reimer Tuesday and put Bernier back in Wednesday against Calgary

Glad they've got a couple days to travel and rest up for another back to back
