Pre-Game Talk: Blackhawks @ St Pats, Saturday Night HNIC

[JadedLeaf]

Freddy's mask is pretty amazing. It doesn't look like it has a glossy finish to it which I love for a mask that's supposed to honour the past.

Leafs ALWAYS suck during any sort of event where they do anything special. Honoring people, special jerseys, etc.

Expecting to come out flat, prob end the first down a goal or two, and then battle hard but either come up just short, or lose in OT.

Prior to this season I would have agreed with you. The boys have won all the ceremony games this season I think. We won our opener vs Boston and we won the game after the last 3 legends were unveiled...either way we have been playing well in these games. Years prior I swear we lost them all but then again our team was always garbage so that is no different than any other night.

Yea after blowing a 3 goal lead.

Nope. Lost in the shootout.
AM scored, Marner had Darling at his mercy and missed

Blew a 2 goal lead in a few minutes, my bad.

Special teams:

Leafs home ........PP% 20.8% (9th rank) ........PK% 79.8% (21st rank) .... 100.6
Hawks away ...... PP% 20.6% (11th rank) ......PK% 80.2% (19th rank) .. . 100.8

Leafs with 5 shorties
Hawks with 1 shorty


MAYBE WE GET A SHORTY TONIGHT

So this is where the slide out of the playoffs begin, by the time next Friday hits we should be 4 points out of a playoff spot.

Chicago is a really good team but the Leafs can beat anyone at home, not really huge underdogs. If we play desperate, we will pick up points.

Captain obvious
Is that you?

 

[Man Bear Pig]

I'll gladly take a point here. Good thing the Isles and Lightning are in tough too.

Negative Nancy right here.

Did we not lose in overtime earlier in the year? Seems to be a close enough match up to me..

I don't recall. Earlier game results don't mean much later in the season.
