Pre-Game Talk: Going Sasquatch Chopping: Leafs @ Buffalo

[Lilou]

Rather they avoid fights all together. Any fights buffalo get in will be looked at as a victory for them and their new coach regardless the outcome. Shannahans already got his panty in a twist over the leafs anyway. Don't need to give that hack any reason to suspend more leafs.

 

[frankthetank91]

I hope the line up is:

JVR-McClement-Kessel
Lupul-Smith-Clarkson
Raymond-Smithson-Kulemin
McLaren-McKegg-Orr

I don't care if McClement is a 3rd/4th liner and Smith is an AHLer and they are in our top 6, we don't have a choice. At least it will hopefully give us JVR back who looks lost at center. We need all the offense we can get at the wings.

 

[The Caveman]

Putting macClem in the first two lines is ridiculous. No point having even more people playing out of their strengths. JVR should be back on wing. I would put Smith there. I would try May Ray at center.

Kessel- Smith-JVR
Lupul- Raymond - Clarkson
Kule-MacClem- Ashton
Orr-Smithson-Macalren

[Suntouchable13]

Would be nice if Kulemin could pot one.

 

[Cor]

Huge brawl.

Ott goes in for a huge hit on gunnarson.

Phaneuf comes into his defense and starts whaling. Foligno jumps phaneuf.

Clarskon jumps foligno. Lupul starts puonding on Myers. And all hell breaks loose.

Benches clear. Orr and Mclaren jumps scott while Kessel is two handing away on his feet.

Stafford jumps on kessels back. Jvr jumps stafford.

Mark fraser is taking on three buffalo players at the same time and whooping all their *****.

Bernier and Miller meet up...but this time miller runs away to the lockerrom.

Moulson and Raymond are hugging each other in the corner.

Hodgson is like "**** this ****. Powerpuff girls are on". And leaves the building.

Ranger is still lying on top of reimer on the bench

As someone who is going to the game, I really want this to happen

 

[inthe6ix]

Nothing is going to happen; nothing ever does with these "revenge" games - the good times in the 80's are long gone.

Shanny has neutered the league.

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets
Jonathan bernier is expected to start. Morgan rielly is expected to sit. trevor smith expected to play berween lupul and clarkson. #TMLtalk

Best game ever....I guess the only thing that makes it better is that Clarkson scores 2 and Kulemin scores 1 and leafs win 3-0

 

[Suntouchable13]

Leafs are going to go 3-0 this weekend. They will win both games, and the bus race back to Toronto.

 

[gustavsson50]

No gdt today??

Any word on the Starter?

 

[CanadasTeam]

Should be up soon.

Here you can reuse the graphics from my old GDT, too bad it's an away game though

Im now not feeling good about this back to back.

New couch could bring new energy to the players, and we are soo weak down the middle. Gonna need a few adult soda's to keep me calm during this one.
