Wow... that's a long layoff, but I guess with the new bodies, it gives them some time to practise, and hopefully get rid of the flu.

Here are some practise lines.

Weird layoff this time of year, eh? after that, there will be 3 back-to-backs and no more than 2 days in between games.

 

[kevsh]

I really hope the flu is the only thing wrong with this team because a bunch of players, notably Matthews, have been pure awful the past few games.

 

[Darcy Tucker]

Is Torts suspended for this game? Very winnable game. Rest will do us some good.

 

[fancy lad]

This season has had the worst most up and down schedule that i can remember.

This seems like the 3rd or 4th time this season we're going a week (or almost a week) between games.

So strange.

Sounds like the marner injury is more serious then originally thought

 

[Fogelhund]

I guess he did hurt himself when he fell awkwardly.

 

[Metroid]

If only he shot that f***ing puck in the empty net and not try to dipsy doodle the shit....

Hopefully nothing too bad. The rest can’t hurt and there is no need to rush him back, they are pretty wel locked in their spot

Yes, it will be the second game for his suspension.

 

[Evilhomer]

Meaningless game for Toronto, so no reason to play Marner. I will be interested to see how they play against Carolina.

Figure skating also has injuries? Who knew lmao

Figure skating is a pretty rough sport. Just ask Nancy Kerrigan.

 

[Maple Leaf]

I heard Toto Wolff was suspected so leafs better get this

 

[ToneDog]

Sit Tavares too. Looks like he is skating on quick drying cement. Hopefully this game is more entertaining than the Habs game. Can't wait for round #1 of the playoffs to start so we can watch some real hockey.

Play better and force the team to find other ways to manage the cap.

He played well enough to stick around. I hope he puts that energy into making them regret that decision.

6th on the team in Points/60... which is pretty solid... better than Knies. I'm not saying he's been better than Knies, but in that stat he's done very well. He does need to tighten his game up, and he needs to work on his shot accuracy. He is starting to get shots off now, and if he can improve his placement, he's going to be quite effective. 0.5 PPG in 11 minutes a game is pretty decent. But yes, we do need to see more at both ends.

On a team that needs secondary scoring, he provides that.

Unlikely he gets into a game in the playoffs unless there are a couple of injuries.
