Pre-Game Talk: Bolts @ Leafs (10/25/16 @ 7:30pm)

[Werewolf]

On paper the Leafs should be destroyed in a blow out type fashion. As we've seen before the Lightning usually take these games off and end up either losing or show up late to the game. Kind of excited to see their kids play ... however this should not be close at all. Expecting a blowout here.

How will fans react to Stamkos first game back since our captain badly rejected their best efforts to sign him?
Leafs have 3 OTL in first 5 games ... sign that their kids could pull off a few surprises this year?
Could notoriously POS Brandon Prust play his first game as a Leaf on Tuesday? He looks to be practicing with team this morning.
What is the over / under on TBL scores against the TML awful defense? I put it at 5...

I think last game was the first almost complete game they played. Best game of the season so far which means, I can see them being relaxed in this one.

 

[Brie]

I would love to see them keep building on last game.



As he should be *lol*

 

[Pyrophorus]

Prust isn't signed to a contract-just practising with the team.

We have no fear of you-always play you tough.
All OTLs happened on the road.

 

[DFC]

The team will take this game off, same as every other time we play the Leafs, or any bottom-feeding team.

 

[The Macho King]

Excited to see the young team up there. If we play a smart game this shouldn't be close. Punish their mistakes and don't make many of our own.

 

[Werewolf]

Love the different perspectives from the fan base. They think they play us tough ... we think our players take the day off against terribad teams. Truth ... somewhere in the midle ... ummmm ..... naaaah ... we take the day off against the Maple Leafs.

What is there to fear in the regular season? It's one of 82 games.

But yeah, you guys don't play us any tougher than any other team. We tend to play down to competition. And I don't mean that as a slight. It's just a fact the Maple Leafs have been bad for several years.

They can not sign Prust because then they would not have room for this stud.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

Tough choice to make I agree.

 

[PaulGG]

We will see some really fast young guys. Should be a fun game. Toronto looks to be improved with a goalie and several new guys and JVR healthy. I am hoping Kuch and Johnson score almost more than I hope we win.

Andersen hasn't looked good.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

First game vs Stamkos since he signed in Toronto... Oh wait

 

[LightningStrikes]

He has 0 goals and points in 5 games for them so far. Worst signing ever?

At $14 million/season, I'd say so. At least he's selling Canadian Tire barbeques.

 

[Todd1a]

start Vasy tonight and start bishop thursday bishop always plays montreal better

What a shame they wasted so much time on Phaneuf.

 

[Space Coyote]

Stamkos pretty much became irrelevant in Toronto the day they won the lottery.

 

[Redline]

Can't say as I blame them. That kid is a complete stud.

A tale of two fanbases.
