GDT: 2/19/13 - 7:30PM EDT - Toronto VS Tampa Bay

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

They owned us last season (we lost all four games) and Scrivens is red hot but nonetheless this should be a winnable game.

According to NHL.com Gunnarson is out for the Leafs with a hip injury - although he played last night.

He's healthy. He returned from the injury last night. It'll either be him or Liles in the lineup tonight.

liles was sat last night and they won don't see the lineup changing

I see Lindback having a solid game tonight. 2 goals or less scored against.

Go Bolts!!!

If we are going to be seeing a lot more of these guys (read NE division) after re-alignment, we better toughen up and learn to exhibit additional physicality. Forechecking would be helpful. Drive the net. Shoot. Solidify transitions.

I am hoping for a competitive game tonight. Would like to see if the practice they got in will pay off in any way. Let's hope so.

Takin' mom to the game tonight, she is super excited.

 

[Steazy Doo]

Come on.... Crabby needs a new pair of shoes!

Scrivens has been lights out lately. Should be close.

Not like the Panthers really tested him last night.....

Nice to see another former Torontonian ripping Leafs fans! GO BOLTS!!!

Personally I don't hate the Leafs but because of their fans, I can't even cheer for them as my second team. I just don't get the unwarranted arrogance.

I'm from Toronto myself and will never cheer for the Leafs, they have always been one of my least favorite teams. That said, I do like how Carlyle dresses all of their tough guys no matter who they're playing. It has definitely added confidence to that lineup.

37 shots is a lot no? I didn't watch the game to see what kind of shots they were but that is a pretty high number.

Yeah - they've been playing well lately and who knows whether we'll show up tonight or how many soft goals Lindback will give up. Unfortunately, our toughest player right now may be Vinny because Aulie doesn't get the ice time. They'd rather throw MAB out there with his granny passes.....

Well I just saw that he's coming of back to back shut-outs, so I would assume he's been playing well.

 

[warlord6]

Thanks to all you former Leaf fans for comin' on over. If we had more of that...well..you know.

 

[snowden]

So how quickly will the Leafs score tonight? 1st minute? 2nd minute?

I actually have a good feeling on this and think we'll come out playing hard. Scrivens will come back to earth.

only a few true scoring chances but he made the saves all you can ask for

TB is always the last victim.

just wait, TOR is playing Buffalo next and when Buffalo wins that game, everyone will be all about how the Sabres are the real deal.

, my greatest resentment with Toronto were the Leafs fans. They are very obnoxious and a large contingent of them were incredibly oblivious when it comes to actual hockey knowledge.

I was never a Leafs fan, but what are you implying? If more of us came over then Tampa would endure a 46 year plus cup drought and have obnoxious fans?

Most are fine. Leaf fans are a good bunch who have a very vocal minority make them look like idiots. I'd much rather go to a game with Leaf fans than Habs or Sabres.

Leafs fan just saying good luck tonight! Hope to see some nifty moves from St. Louis and Stamkos, but not too many
Also, what is the general consensus on the Bolts's third jersey? I love it.

Not a huge fan of the jerseys but the last few times they wore them they won, so if they are wearing them maybe we will win!

Having lived in Toronto for 22 years, I will respectfully disagree with your opinion. They are just as bad as Habs and Sabres fans.

I hate the third jerseys. We need to change them ASAP.

Thank you sir!

As for the jerseys, the blue is a bit redundant now that our main jerseys are blue. Before we switched to our jerseys now, I loved them personally. But now... needs moar black!

 

[Alivesi]

Geez I hope we win, I mean I'm happy for the team with 2 points, but yeesh, Leafs fans are so obnoxious and my friend did not shut up about last seasons meetings, apparently the season before that was irrelevant, so lets win and make last season irrelevant.

Scriven has played well but I wouldn't call him red hot, the panthers have been shut out 3 times in 9 nights? Not what you call an offensive powerhouse. I think we can win this, Toronto is going to come out physical, and I think we play with more heart and passion when it's a physical game. I hope Crombeen doesn't fight Orr, I would not like to see that.. maybe a old reunion between Aulie and Orr? Crombeen / Brown would be nice to watch however.

Get rid of the piping to nowhere and make it black and it's great. Makes no sense to have a 3rd the same color as our home.

Keep in mind that third jersey was created before our new home and away threads were introduced, hence the blue. Hopefully next season they alter the third to make it black as a nod back to our old jerseys!
