[Cor]

Looks like Moore will come in for Fehr. Rosen-Borgman was still the third pairing again today.

I'm expecting a beat down, I don't believe the devils are real, I think this is a team you feed to Freddie to clean up his numbers, especially if Palmeri and Stafford are out.

 

[Territory]

Go Leafs go! 4-0 to start the season would be incredible!

 

[Daisy Jane]

so we're literally bouncing back and forth now?
oker doker.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Going to be a harder time stopping Jesper Bratt than Patrik Laine.

 

[LeafChief]

Any particular reason for the 7:40 start time?

 

[Trapper]

These aren't your grandfather's Devils. The trap days are gone. They have good team speed and more pure skill. They handled Buffalo easily. I know it's early but NJ seems to have a nice little (under the radar) build going. They might actually leap frog some teams that have been building for awhile.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I am excited for this game. This is a new devils team and they're dynamic and talented up front. Hischier looks like a legit player already. That said, I don't think they can stop us. We can overwhelm teams, especially if they're weak defensively

Babcock on #Leafs lineup: Borgman-Rosen in tomorrow, Fehr-Moore keep rotating. Martin/Brown will play every game so Leivo still odd man out.

Both Rosen and Borgman deserved to be in the lineup based on last game - by the way who is carrying this game?

 

[MJ65]

We are facing a very exciting team with some young upcoming stars - Leafs should win this game

Sportsnet, their national Wednesday Night game.

 

[X66]

Half of our D-core in this line-up is made up of free agent other league signings, that's pretty incredible.

Great eyes for talent in the organization.

Then you have high end D-prospects on the Marlies in Liljegren and Dermott and all of a sudden a once weak labelled depth is looking pretty promising.

 

[Mikeyg]

Just outwork this team, grind the piss out of them and they will fall over. If i've said it once i've said it a million times... this team only has to play elite offensively for about 10 mins a night to win the game. So far there are these 5-10 minute pockets where the leafs go full juggernaut and play at an unstoppable, uncontainable level. The devils are a nice young team but they are nowhere close to us. We will send them back to hell after this one.

This should be another win but anything can happen and NJ is a young team with lots of speedy players now. Jersey has started out with two wins so can’t take them for granted.

I’m expecting an obligatory Nico goal but we should be able to beat Schneider. He didn’t really look that good against the Sabres but the Sabres couldn’t take advantage.

Thanks

 

[Muston Atthews]

Yeah just get that heavy forecheck going for a bit and I think we’ll crush them. Unless Schneider is on his game which could happen

With the goals scored against, they need 60 min of offence.

They are going to do more than beat Colorado and Buffalo before they get taken seriously, that's not exactly the class of the NHL in those wins

nope..

True but you have to start somewhere.
Colorado and Buffalo are losing to NJ. 2 teams that are supposed to be ahead.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Wouldn't take them lightly as Schneider can steal a game and they have some skill upfront to pot a few goals.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Where is Carrick?

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Where is Carrick?

Hurt I think

Idk man. Forsberg had the game of his life and we still put up 4. We generate ridiculous chances
