I don't have a good feeling about tonight.
But maybe that's because Vladar is playing. Sorry but he's just not the guy you want in net to steal a game or two.
I'd be way more optimistic if Wolf was playing.

He will get scored on couple of whiffs and then produce multiple 10 Bell saves propelling us into OT..

I think we keep this rolling somehow and Toronto continues to stumble. 5-3 us.

Spoiler

if walker duehr plays he gets 2 goals

Walker seems to be a healthy scratch

Dang nab it. Guess it's not too late to change that prediction. But my first goal picks are already in.

 

[Boomstick]

Leafs have 3 regulation wins. Very beatable. They have zero confidence in their goalies and defence.
Must win game for me as a Flames fan in Ontario.
Come on Flames, kick Treliving's ass.

Kadri with a huge game, Mangiapne with a huge game.

Go Flames Go!

I think the logic has always been to play your worst perceived goalie vs Toronto so that they get overconfident.

Leaf fan here ... coming in peace.
Hope leafs get the win obviously but hoping for a good game either way where both our teams get it going.

I'd be cool with a OT tonight for Leafs against a west team. Doesn't mean as much if you lose.

It's been a rough start for most of Canada's teams.

If your backup is in then he'll probably make a bunch of huge saves. Leafs love to get goalied by backups.

Hope for a good solid game. Still a big fan of Kadri too.

Cheers

Will be alternating between this and the Panthers game.

Wish Wolf was playing. Vladar has been pretty bad this season honestly.

I'm also curious to how Huberdeau will respond after being benched in the 3rd. Likely nothing. But ya never know..

C, C, C, GO!

Good thing it wasn't a P instead of GO. That would have been a bad plot twist.

Vladar was good against Seattle and in his first game he had a rough first period but was excellent after that. For some reason I'm not remembering the Wings game... got to love anxiety and memory issues.

In Alberta if you are left wing they call you a communist anyways.

Now that I think of it, I'm surprised no one spent time to make a CCCP joke to describe CP.

 

[Backlund]

I expect this to go either surprisingly well or terribly bad.

Should be a good game. Always enjoy seeing these two play eachother! GFG.

 

[Tofveve]

Lanny already hamming it up lol

 

[Tofveve]

Turgeon and not Fleury. Sad.

I love his always giving the thumbs up. Big ol' smile. Yeah, he's ours and he's a beaut.

 

[Tofveve]

Atta boy Verny!

 

[Mobiandi]

This ceremony is like putting a hat on a hat

 

[Tofveve]

Wow I forgot Mike Vernon won the con Smythe in Detroit's first cup win in the 90s

 

[deleted user]

Feels good man.

 

[Bounces R Way]

I scored a goal once on Mike Vernon on a frozen lake Invermere when I was a teenager. Pretty sure he was hammered drunk lol

He called me a smart mouthed little . Definitely a highlight
