Powerplay needs to show up tomorrow, and Bernier better be ready to face 50+ shots lol

 

[GenericFan2*]

Thornton gone, Marchand gone = dull game.

Bernier with the start, hopefully. Squeeze out a point and i'll be satisfied.

 

[Revolt]

Yep, tomorrow is going to be crazy. I don't think we have much of a shot unless our bottom 2 pairing on the D side have their best games of the season and Bernier puts on a clinic.

 

[HellasLEAF]

I think the last time we played Boston was 2nd night of a back to back as well.

Big game

 

[shakes]

OH yeah.. this game isn't going to end well for the Leafs. It's going to get ugly fast

 

[Larcos_Unal]

1 point will be a miracle

 

[TMLeafer]

Not often that the Leafs play at home on back to back nights.

 

[Wami]

Boston pulled a W tonight but they are banged up and exhausted, just like us. This should be interesting for sure.

ditch Fraser at the bus stop.

 

[Daisy Jane]

okay - on to the new GDT will be up tomorrow morning.. just trying to think what to do!

 

[Pyromaniac3]

I get really scared when Phaneuf and Gunnarsson go off the ice on penalty kill.

 

[LeafOfBread]

Bench Fraser.

I would split them up.

Phaneuf for 1/2, Gunnarson for 1/2. that could work? maybe? sort of?

OK guys, Boston is a good team but they are not filled with Gods from Mount Olympus. They can be had. Leafs can very easily grab at least one point. I think this stuff about "we'll need a miracle to grab a point" or "this game will get ugly" is just nonsense.

Reimer will probably get the start if RC wants to see him suffer and JB flourish. It's gonna be a baaad game by the looks of it and I'm hoping Pittsburgh has really tired them out.

Yeah, they aren't untouchable...if this team was playing well. Pretty sure despite how badly the last playoffs ended that every single Leaf fan knows the Bruins can lose games.

The problem is outside the top line the team isn't playing well. Still sitting on leads in the worst of ways, undisciplined, and outside of tonight a questionable PK.

We struggled with the Bruins for the past several years for good reasons. They are a good team and we weren't playing well. Both seem to be lining up once again for this game. We can win it, but expecting a loss isn't insane.

 

[Kb21]

oh man we are going to lose.

Blasphemy, blasphemy I say!

 

[Al14]

Bench Fraser.

Send him to the moon along with Clarktard. Both are useless plugs good for nothing but spaceball travel!

 

[Morguee]

Great time to get the Bruins. I'm sure they are going to be pretty tired answering questions about tonights game. Probably no Eriksson, Thorton or Marchand. Hopefully they are emotionally drained tomorrow.

Edit: Looks like Marchand is ok I guess.

 

[Al14]

oh man we are going to lose.

How many injuries do we also suffer too?

 

[fsdev905]

Go Leafs Go!

 

[fsdev905]

If there was a game the D needed to be strong in their own zone, tomorrow is that game!

The Bruins are incredibly strong cycling (even their 4th line) and creating chances.

D can't try to be fancy, just get the puck, chip it out.
Bruins clog up the neutral zone like no other team I've seen.

Leafs speed/transition game will be the key!
