I miss Mikheyev.

 

[willmma]

Better win today. With a win we don't allow the Panthers to make up for Thursdays game or better yet we can gain 2 more points on them.

 

[Metroid]

Let's make Jim Hughson cry!!

 

[Rude Dog]

Leafs 4-2 win. Taking 5 of 6 points this week. All that is left to worry about is the Corona Virus and the Dow losing 2K points in 2 days. Fun.

Posted above on Tuesday. Can’t believe how wrong I was. No way the Leafs are giving up a point. The Dow....never mind. Yikes

 

[Clark4Ever]

This team has had trouble playing disciplined at home. That needs to change starting tonight.

It would also help if Freddy could put together a solid 60 minutes for a change.

 

[Warden of the North]

This will not be a low scoring game.

 

[Eye Test]

Let’s go boys! Where’s ole @Teeder Keon been

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Let's make Jim Hughson cry!!

Oh f***, I just realized this is another HNIC against the Canucks. Can't wait to hear Hughson's reactions to goals each way tonight.

Stopped even watching back on Tuesday after I was down $80k since last Friday. No way I'm sucker selling at this point and I don't have a lot of extra cash right now to buy in when it bottoms so, meh, what's one more year of work before retirement?

How many times does he mention the Sedins tonight?

For example if Elias scores tonight, "For a second I thought Daniel and Henrik had come out of retirement to connect on that goal"

 

[i1]

Leafs D looks scary in a bad way

 

[X66]

Vancouver is the most overrated team in the league.

LOL, you actually sound like him through the internet.

 

[lottster14]

Time for the selected voice of the leafs, apparent best commentator duo on rogers to route against our team, just like they do in the playoffs

 

[lottster14]

Vancouver is the most overrated team in the league.

One of them easily. Markstrom injured, shoot early and often tonight.

 

[Jojalu]

Vancouver is the most overrated team in the league.

Not even close.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Want a clean game and best team wins.
NO DIVES
NO GAME MANAGEMENT

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Excited to see some more of Quinn Hughes and Pettersson in person.

Should be an exciting game

 

[crump]

hmmm
Kerfoot back up (preferred Spezza there)
Clifford up to 3rd with Spezza and Kap could be a good energy line though...

(Ceci skating with the team lines this a.m.)

 

[ShaneFalco]

I like Clifford moving up he needs some more ice time and will provide jam

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Why is Kerfoot back on the 2nd line?? Booo

 

[ShaneFalco]

This team has had trouble playing disciplined at home. That needs to change starting tonight.

It would also help if Freddy could put together a solid 60 minutes for a change.

Too bad it's so damn quiet when they play at home

 

[IPS]

NO DIVES

Don't get your hopes up

HNIC, hatred between fanbases, drama. Expect an artificially close game.

 

[Nooodles]

Mikheyev is also skating with the group.
