If we win again you're fired.

If we win again you're fired.

I don't think we will win. In fact, a COR gtd is overkill at this point.
But given the win in Vcr I suppose a little help wouldn't hurt.

 

[LeafsNation75]

Looking at the Blackhawks roster and Leaf roster I'm not expecting a Leafs win.

 

[TLeafsFan]

Well given that we hadn't won in Vancouver since the pre-cap era Nov. 22nd, 2003, anything is possible, especially if Chicago comes out flat against the Leafs like they did last season.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Should be a easy loss. But you never know with this team.

 

[Donald McRonald]

This game really does come down to Babcock though. I mean he's got the guys playing well structured hockey and getting lots of chances at the other net.
If the Hawks don't take this game seriously then who knows what will happen and we can thank the hockey gods that our guys can't finish at the net.
Only prediction I have is that if Bozak plays then I think we lose.

 

[TLeafsFan]

This doesn't help the tank, either.

#Blackhawks recall center Vincent Hinostroza from the Rockford IceHogs, place Marian Hossa on injured reserve.

[LeafsNation75]

Last month when Chicago defeated Toronto 4-1 at the Air Canada Centre the Leafs lineup that night was not missing Bozak, Lupul, Kadri, Matthias, and Phaneuf had not yet been traded. So if you look at their projected lines for tomorrow it should be a lot worse when you compare their previous game against them.

 

[MJ65]

I expect a easy win for the Hawks

 

[A1LeafNation]

I have Kane Panarin Keith and Seabrook in my pool. Lets hope it does!

 

[Leafs at Knight]

If we win again you're fired.

Yup.

 

[Le Cobra]

Who's starting in goal for both teams? Reimer vs Crawford?

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

i would love it if it got ugly. we need to lose.

 

[hoglund]

The Leafs lost last time 4-1, well really 3-1 because the 4th was an empty net goal. I expect a loss, but probably a close game.

 

[Daisy Jane]

If we win again you're fired.

Yup.

it wasn't Cor's fault last time.
the thread was modified a lot it lost the Cor magic.

 

[taurine330]

I'm afraid that Hawks won't take us seriously.

Toronto Maple Leafs at Chicago Blackhawks: Monday game preview

The Blackhawks could be without Marian Hossa, who was injured in a loss to Anaheim on Saturday.

By: Dave Feschuk Sports Columnist, Published on Sun Feb 14 2016

UNITED CENTER

Puck drop: 8:30 p.m.

TV: TSN 4

Radio: TSN 1050

Key matchup: Leo Komarov vs. Patrick Kane.

A game after irritating the Sedin twins into frustration, Komarov and the rest of Toronto’s makeshift first line — which, for the past two games with Nazem Kadri on the shelf, has been centred by Peter Holland and rounded out by Michael Grabner — will take a step up in class and do its best to slow down Kane. The league’s leading scorer, Kane has 33 goals and 78 points, 15 points clear of his nearest challengers heading into Sunday’s action.

Need to know: The Leafs finish a four-game Western Conference road trip that has seen them travel without veteran forwards Tyler Bozak, Joffrey Lupul and Shawn Matthias . . . Former Leaf Richard Panik joined Jonathan Toews and Andrew Sharp on the Blackhawks’ top line when Chicago lost Marian Hossa to a lower-body injury on Saturday . . . The Hawks have scored just four goals over the last 10 periods . . . The last time the Maple Leafs met the reigning Stanley Cup holders, they had won nine straight games before a 4-1 victory at the Air Canada Centre made it 10. That hot streak ended a few weeks ago after 12 consecutive victories. Since that high point, the Blackhawks are 4-5-1.

Up next: Thursday vs. New York Rangers, 7:30 p.m.

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Lol what are the Leafs odds at a W tonight?

 

[hamzarocks]

Hopefully we lose. Still hope Kadri, comes back and pots a few points along with gards, rielly, and leipsic. Would love to see a high scoring game over a 2-1 or blowout loss

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Maybe the Leafs are showcasing many of their fringe players before the TDL.

 

[Mad Brills*]

Bozak lupul and matthias are eligible to come back for thursday right?

 

[Savvy]

If we win again you're fired.

I think Lou is looking for ways to put Babcock on the LTIR list as we speak. Poor Mike is going down with a knee injury for sure lol

 

[WilliamNylander]

Someone should show Kane the goal scoring race leaderboard right before the game

Great chance for him to put some distance between him and OV
