GDT: Hurricanes VS Maple Leafs | October 17th | 7:00PM | LeafsTV

[Tyler Biggs*]

Class act by Kessel the other night. It was good to see Raymond go straight over to Kessel after Raymond's empty net goal. Now that's a TEAM!

 

[BertCorbeau]

A very winnable game indeed .. Need to show up offensively though and sustain some forecheck and pressure .. Keep the screws tightened defensively

 

[EDDIE20*]

Alright, let's pick up another two tonight boys!!

 

[Stats01]

Would like us to control a bit more of the play, we can't have another stinker like Tuesday or we're bound to lose or get killed at some point. Good thing we're winning and now all we have to do is just improve our play.

 

[Chandrashekhar Limit]

Time to show our character, and fight through these injuries. Hopefully the kids keep on shining. Would love to see a goal from one of them.

GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[HarrisonFord]

I'm calling tonight as the night where Rielly gets his first NHL goal, as the Leafs actually outshoot AND outscore the Hurricanes

 

[Asif16*]

Lets win this and then get ready for an EPIC matchup with the hawks on saturday night. Gonna be a good one.

Hoping JVR comes back for the hawks game.

 

[maplehawk]

can we please not use the term "winnable" - it never ends well for us.

I think Kessel should have put home that goal... he only has two goals, he needs to step it up.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

The line-up is pretty dreary right now, but ultimately has a shot to win.

Nice to think that the line-up could look pretty solid in the next few weeks.

JVR Bozak Kessel
Lupul Kadri Clarkson
Raymond Bolland Kulemin
McClaren Mcclement Orr
Ashton

Phaneuf Gunnarsson
Rielly Franson
Gardiner Ranger
Fraser

Bernier
Reimer

 

[JackJ]

Lopsided Leaf win.

Man I feel this lineup could do well against any team in the NHL... Built for the playoffs just have to find a way to keep getting wins with a depleted lineup.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Lulz Komisarek healthy scratch.... what a surprise!

Komisarek has been a healthy scratch for six of the seven games this season, playing effectively in his one outing against the Los Angeles Kings. It would have been easy to make the switch and put him the lineup against the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team that signed him to a big free-agent contract in 2009.

[Duffman955]

Need the defense to not get beat in the neutral zone and give up odd man rushes.

Rielly and Gardiner are great and all, but they need to make sure they aren't giving the opposition free chances like that.

 

[kesleaf]

Easy win.......

 

[Dangles McGavin]

Leivo pots his first tonight I think.

Also think this is the type of team that Rielly will shine against.

Missed the last four, can't wait for this game.

 

[Smif]

Easy win.......

Staal brothers always play well in TO and you know Jordan will break out of his slump tonight. I'm thinking it's gonna be an ugly, high scoring game.

 

[CanadasTeam]

I think Kessel should have put home that goal... he only has two goals, he needs to step it up.

If he scores 39 goals this year, he'll still be a one-dimensional, non-40 goal scorer

 

[rojac]

can we please not use the term "winnable" - it never ends well for us.

Winnable! Winnable! Winnable!

Never tell me not to do something because of ridiculous superstition.

 

[Crispy Crust]

lol every Bolland sentence starts with "yeah for sure".

I think Kessel should have put home that goal... he only has two goals, he needs to step it up.

I no your joking but some people actually believe this. It's so frustrating listening to people call in after the game on leaf talk... they get on kessel's case for not scoring but the guy just puts up points. If he only scores 15 goals but puts up 80 points WHO CARES... He's transformed his game into a playmaker... he sets up his team mates so if he's not scoring 40 + who cares... I would rather him be a 30 goal PPG player then a 40 g 70 point player. People need to be more thankful for what phil does... he's truly a leader on this team, our best player and the reason we're 6-1. We're nothing without Phil.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Storms a brewin', headed to Toronto,
Hurricane Staal is coming pronto.
Looking to blow those leaves around,
To cause an uproar, make a sound.
But the Leafs aint eatin from that batch,
Captain Dion & the boys are battening down the hatch.
Burning those boats and heading out to sea,
Looking the storm in the eye, scaring it to flee.

 

[InShannyWeTrust]

I have a bad feeling about this game boys

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Carolina looks pretty decent up front and the Staals are an absolute load but that d...man..We should get plenty of chances to score. Say 4-2 win. Feel the wake up call comes Saturday via a Chicago dismantling.

 

[Wami]

I have a GREAT feeling about this game, go buds!
