Toronto is really really good and this should be a great test.

 

[Halak Ness Monster]

Tough early stretch of the year going against 3 Cup contenders in the first 3 games. We've looked good so far! Hopefully we keep it going on the road.

 

[67Blues]

Any word on if Thomas made the trip and/or his status?

 

[tomin]

Played them early last season if I recall, even believe we won. I was feeling pretty good about that Blues team, little did I know what the remainder of Oct, Nov, and then Dec had in store.... Oh well doesn't matter Cup Champs just a handful of months after!

Lets show Toronto what a relentless wave we are tonight.

4-2 STL.

 

[Dbrownss]

Continue our win streak against the honorary Stanley Cup Champions

 

[STL BLUES]

Petro will look really good in front of the home crowd.

 

[Stupendous Yappi]

The schedule has been tough so far, but it’s actually pretty favorable the rest of the month. I suspect Toronto is going to want to measure themselves against the Blues, specifically trying to show they can play a physical game. St. Louis is a stand-in for Boston tonight in that sense. Time to introduce Toronto to Jordan Binnington, though.

Game day in Toronto. Always fun. Lets start the first road trip of the season right and start with a W.

Made the trip but isn’t playing tonight.

I think every team will use the reigning champs as their statement game. I suspect even Ottawa will throw their best efforts against us.

Why is Sanford back in there? My thought is that if you're going to have Mac on the roster, let's see what he's got. He hasn't played a game in 7 months.

Gotta have him and his 9 minutes in there after he gets benched in the second.

 

[thedustman]

would like to see a lil bit of a spark from tarasenko, and also expect a big line from the third and fourth lines tonight.

 

[Note Worthy]

Excited to see how the team plays on the road. LGB.

 

[Mike Liut]

I think we’d destroy them in the playoffs. But I doubt they’ll see our playoff intensity tonight. Our 3rd and 4th lines would give them hell.

 

[tom leafers]

I cant believe Steen and Gunnarson are still playing for you guys. Feels like forever ago they were traded.

You can have Steen back if you want. Just tell us what you want to give us.

Stempniak just retired, too, to put it in perspective. I still can’t believe the Leafs allowed their GM to make a trade like that days before he was fired.

 

[Mike Liut]

I’d give Toronto a 3rd to take him

 

[mw2noobbuster]

This is a true test, the Leafs look really strong and they've upgraded their backend too. I'm hoping for a hard-fought game.

 

[Default]

That defense is easily exploitable... as good as their offense is. Bang em around and the Leafs crumble without fail.

 

[The Electrician]

LGB!

 

[BlueKnight]

Good test for the Blues. Leafs look good. LGB!!
