[Samkow]

Has there ever been a team like this edition of the Maple Leafs, where literally every member is an all-star? I can't recall any others.

 

[GoJackets1]

That forward lineup just keeps getting deeper and deeper.

Is Hartnell actually scratched?

 

[We Want Ten]

Focus Focus Focus! Bring down Toronto!

GO JACKETS!

Being facetious? We have 7 rookies in our lineup and although not many all stars, we have a few Calder candidates this year lol

Good luck tonight.

Please play Korpi and save Bob for the Caps!

Please play Korpi and save Bob for the Caps!

Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it.

Go CBJ, gotta keep up with the crazy dog fight for 1st.

Howdy Jackets fans, i hear you clinched a playoff spot...well dome! I think you should take a rest and prepare for the playoffs...like, tonight maybe?

 

[Privet]

Potential first round playoff game. I would really like to see Korpi start tonight and Bob get tomorrow. But I have a feeling Bob will be played in both games because they had that rest from Sunday - Wednesday.

 

[MAHJ71]

Next two nights will definitely be interesting.

Need a win tongiht for another warm walk back to the car.

 

[Old Guy]

I hope we cream those punks.

Sure! After we win the game.

Rimer confirms Korpisalo tonight and Bob tomorrow night on Sirius/XM.

 

[Privet]

Rimer confirms Korpisalo tonight and Bob tomorrow night on Sirius/XM.

That's the right call IMO!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Classic trap game. I think we lose big.

 

[CBJx614]

Calder show down tonight!

 

[Bobcat110]

Classic trap game. I think we lose big.

I don't think it feels like a classic trap game.

* We're not playing an easy opponent.
* CBJ would be pretty motivated to win tonight to keep pace with Caps and Pens who both won yesterday. I think they want to prove themselves equals to those two teams.
* CBJ losses are rare, but "big" losses are rarer. CBJ haven't normally just rolled over for another team.

Now, if CBJ win tonight and tomorrow night, I might look at the Flyers on Saturday as a trap game.

 

[major major]

It's definitely not a trap game. No game against Toronto is. When they talk about fighting for respect and not getting respected - the causus belli of the year - they're largely talking about lazy Toronto based media.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Korpi has only allowed 14 goals his last 7 starts with 2 shutouts. Beat the Leafs 5-2 the last time they played.

 

[Cowumbus]

We need at least 3 points in the next 2 games imo. Must Win

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

Jackets need to stay out of the box. PK's been so-so of late.

 

[MoeBartoli]

I have a feeling it will take at least 4 goals to win tonight.

 

[Privet]

I think Jackets will get it done at home... tomorrow tho.. they will be tired.

2 shutouts? I remember only one. Wtf with my memory?

 

[Liferleafer]

Just for an update, Eric Fehr is in, Soshnikov out. Andersen starts for the Leafs.
