Pre-Game Talk: Jan 9 - Leafs @ Hurricanes - Wheel of inconsistency says we'll win this one

[Rare Jewel]

Do you want Kessel's back to buckle because he has to carry 2 stiffs?

Are the lines currently constructed working?

 

[achtungbaby]

Huge game. If the Rangers beat the Hawks tonight and we lose to the Canes in regulation time tomorrow, we're in 10th place in the East by the time the horn sounds. 11th if Ottawa wins tonight. There was a comfortable separation for awhile there but the East is tighter then a snare drum these days.

EDIT: With the Rangers win the Capitals have been bumped down to 9th. These standings are taking some getting used to.

 

[ConnorTO]

not sure why Bernier is starting

if he does

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I swear to god....if this team loses one more time!

I'm going to ***** and moan once again! Then watch the next ****ing game.

....I JUST CAN'T GET UP AND LEAVE

 

[Dragao6]

forget the Leafs, their brutal, another wasted year. Im just excitted to see Lilles play again!!! Hoep he scores

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I hope reimer starts this time around.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Carlyle says he'll split the goalies in the back-to-back unless one gets a shutout.

Translation: I am starting Bernier the first game and he better get a shutout because otherwise I'll have to start Reimer.

Reimer got a shut out against the Oilers but didn't start against Calgary the next game which was the next night sooo....

 

[Dragao6]

If Reimer doesnt start, specially with Berniers last few games then Im done watchign the leafs until the 2014 draft!!!
Be consistant to both men!!! Very dissapointed with Carlyle this year!!!

 

[LeafOfBread]

Hoping for a win, this board is on suicide watch right now.

 

[Spanks]

Hope Reims gets the start for this one.

Tickets are available for under $10 if there's any leafs fans willing to make the trek...

 

[FlareKnight]

This back to back set is as important as it gets in terms of holding our playoff position.

I just wish we had a clue what this team was going to do. Playing well would be nice that's for sure. They could kill Carolina or get killed. There's just no telling.

Hope for the best and don't expect anything in particular .

 

[Daisy Jane]

the most consistent thing about this team is that they are inconsistent.

I've now decided, I am going to sit back - enjoy the rest of the season and let the chips fall as they may. I figure nothing's going to happen until the summer, unless Nonis makes a huge decision and figures that we're not going to make a playoff run regardless if we get there or not, and trades some pieces at deadline day. And with the cap hit where it is, I doubt we'll see a lot of trades (mostly lateral moves).


with that being said - Reimer probably gets Carolina, and truthfully, if we keep the shots under 30 - when Reimer wins, he plays against the Caps? (Devils? - I know it's either or) and then let him play with the ball a bit.

all I want is some good worth ethic, and I'm good with the result. [which will be a win].

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Randy should try these lines

Lupul McClement Kessel
JVR Holland Orr
Clarkson Bozak Kulemin
Raymond Kadri DAmigo

Seriously, whats the worse that can happen

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Just win and get the 2 points.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[Rayzorexe]

So what do our lines look like Holland down in the AHL? is Trevor Smith back or are we gonna go with 7 defenceman?

At this point, anyone or anything is better than McClaren and Orr

Yeah, I've decided to try and do this. Though it might be a case of being a bit burned out about reacting to every little thing . Just see where this season ends up going and accept whatever happens.

Since it is the old 3 games in 4 nights it probably doesn't matter who starts what. We're bound to see both goalies in these 3 games. I'd give Reimer the next one since we might as well.

Good work ethic would be a nice starting point since we've lacked that too often this year.

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

Unless a move is made tomorrow who is out #4 C ? Holland seems form Twitter was sent down because Carlyle was not playing him and Nonis is pissed because of it...

 

[darrylsittler27]

This team isnt inconsistent.

They are consistently bad. They will express themselves by losing as they have consistently sucked all year. Bernier was never a proven number one, he never played enough games to prove anything. If I am Reimer, I let in the first 4 shots for free. This team is much worse than last year and a couple of players need to be traded to teams they hate. Leafs fans have suffered enough and it is time Rogers paid in the pocket book.If you watch they will continue to lose.

Plan the parade Tim, you genius.

as a guy who moderated these boards...everytime we loss a game is like that

anyways....I hope either there is a move or something actually is happening for us to move forward

 

[Nithoniniel]

I don't really agree with the panic from the last game. I think it showed plenty of improvements, and with normal goaltending it would have been a clear regulation win. There were more hustle and improved poise from team excluding Franson, Raymond and Gardiner.

I don't know man I thought Gardiner was at-least mediocre last game.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Hmm yeah he was. My point was that most everyone showed improved hustle, Gardiner was his usual self playing his usual game.

I have no problem with Gards. He's a young man building his toolset and struggling to put it all together, that's all.

Well we can't carry 7 D for these many games...there has to be something up. I hope we get something going on soon.

A small little run can change it up completely.
