Pre-Game Talk: Wild @ Leafs - Thursday 7pm

[ACC1224]

Looking forward to this one, should be a great game.

Hopefully the boys can get back on track in front of the home fans and put the last few games behind them.

Guessing Mrazek starts.

Minnesota has a great offense, the goaltending needs to be half-decent in this one or we're in trouble

 

[Rob Brown]

This will be a good game. Tough, although the Wild have been slipping a bit lately.

First game back in the building for me, my daughter somehow has become a closet Wild fan(one of them most be cute, lol)
Really looking forward to this one, pace should be incredible.

Sens beat the Wild, must mean the Wild suck and this should be an easy win, right? right? /s
sucks we lost to the habs and cjbs... those two should have been wins, and then the Wild game wouldn't be as "important" oh well.
go leafs go.

Blues lost to Habs before the beat the Leafs. Should have known they would come here hungry and out for revenge for their loss to the Leafs. Minny should come out hungry so we have to match their intensity. Team with the better goalie wins it IMO.

Wild destroyed Edmonton.

Wild got beat by Ottawa.

Wild play Toronto.

Toronto plays wild (any one of wild being an adverb, verb, or adjective)

So who knows?!?

 

[Burnie97]

Just get a W and put in a full 60. I don't care how they get it done... just do it.

 

[alliuk12]

Leafs lose to the blue jackets. The wild are a much better team than the jackets and the wild will want to get revenge for the loss to Ottawa so they will want to kick some ass and that means Toronto will have to play a hard game which I don’t think that they are capable of this team is way to soft

Doesn't matter who starts, both are unreliable

 

[Stephen]

This game is going to be decided by confidence. If their heads are screwed on right we might see a Carolina, Pittsburgh benchmark game. If they’re running fire drills it’s going to look like the Calgary game or a snooze fest tire fire like the St. Louis game.

Unfortunately that seems to be the case.
Prefer Campbell, not a fan of Mrazeks style. Seems like he over plays everything.

definitely a good game to go to, the Wild have become a fun team to watch

Great fans as well.

 

[wingman75]

Easy win... the team will come out angry and full of piss and vinegar... yada yada yada

Going to need a solid defensive effort... hopefully the goaltending can sure up a bit and give the boys a fighting chance!

Interseted to see which D play.

 

[Aashir Mallik]

Considering I thought yesterday was an auto win with how this team deals with embarrassing games….idk anymore

I’m going into this game with no expectations, cuz the teams been playing like one that shouldn’t have any placed on them. Top to bottom

We have one line
We have maybe 1 pairing
we Have struggling goaltenders

again, we’d win so many of these games in February if the second line was playing up to their abilities.

how the hell did the produce when Marner went down but not now

 

[Fogelhund]

Maximizing Cap, before putting Muzzin on LTIR? Something else?

I think you’re right and it’s just cap gymnastics to maximize cap.

[Le Magnifique]

As a fan, I'm predisposed to believing it's going to be winless in 3.
I look forward to be proven wrong, but the Wild are a good team and I'm not liking the way we've been playing.

 

[TMLAM34]

The Wild play tough hockey. Definitely going to be a challenge coming out of this with a W.

 

[Buds17]

Menell is a bit surprising...unless they want to give him a game against his former team?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

We’ll probably win because we were humiliated two games in a row now. Expecting a solid effort but that won’t matter if our goalies can’t make basic saves.

 

[BayStBullies]

I'm not looking forward to this one. It's been playoff-like games lately where the refs have their own agenda and the Leafs continue to fall into that trap. The writing is on the wall. We need a new coach.
