[ByeByeBylsma*]

That GDT was epic, but the better team will win when it matters.

 

[iBlaze81]

Nice gdt. Let get this! Go Leafs Go

 

[CBinTokyo]

Great GDT.

 

[WildcatMapleLeafs28]

Nice GDT thainer.

Think the Leafs are going to take this one.

4-3

JVR with a pair.

 

[crump]

Good one. Kessel cartoon is hilarious.

Boys should be settled now. Go git em.

 

[naturalnumbas]

Has there been anything said about Kessel's status? Expect him to play but he looked pretty slow against MTL and there was that 'lower body' injury in the pre-season.

If our top line & D pair isn't better tonight, this will be a bad one.

 

[senor martinez]

High scoring, anybody?

Gardiner - Rielly... Crosby and Malkin vs Kessel and JVR and others. It's about to go down. Panik mode.

If you mean they're going to get a butt-ton of goals scored against them, then yes I agree. lol

 

[Hurt]

Very nice looking GDT, Thainer!

 

[TLeafsFan]

May the best lines see the most ice. Sweet OP.

Feeling good about this one.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Big Papa Cheese]

Bernier better show up for this one!

 

[Budsfan]

Great GDT....Well Done!

This game is not going to be a walk over and those line-up stats posted by Zeke seem to give them an edge But.......

Lets give them all they can handle and come away with a win.

Go Leafs Go!

Go Leafs Go!

I'm not expecting a tight defensive battle today in this one as last not least defensive breakdown loses.

Pens top players have come out of the gate firing on all cylinders and Leafs top 2 lines will need to hang with Crosby and Malkin lines in order to give the Leafs a chance.

PS. Very entertaining GDT originating post. Those characters actually fit some player personalities very well.

 

[Leafidelity]

With Fleury in net, anything is possible.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Leafs vs Pens always seems to produce great entertainment. Unfortunately, the road team usually wins when these two teams match up. Hopefully, the Leafs will buck the trend tonight.

 

[TheThrill81*]

Komarov getting into Cindy's head would be nice.

 

[IBLEAF]

is bernie starting todays game????

 

[TLeafsFan]

is bernie starting todays game????

He was first to leave the ice last practice, with Reims geeting the extra work, so yeah, that's the expectation.
