Bring your own rakes, shovels, and pitchforks. Work crew names will be available later on today. Big Save Dave will probably be in charge.

Drinks will be available for consumption before, during, and after the event.

Be nice to your neighbor even if they dress funny. They're likely born and raised easterners and don't know any better.

Okay, let's have fun everybody and enjoy the fire!

Looks like Tkachuk should be back so likely Phillips gets sent back down. While I'd love to see him get into the lineup, we need to keep rolling with the regulars.

Don’t think our bottom 4 defense should be Hanifin-hamonic and Brodie-stone. Both have largely been trainwrecks, and Toronto doesn’t need to be matched with physicality. Bad move imo.

I eagerly anticipate a Sega hockey player celebration.

Also, may our inexplicable winning streak continue with MacGyver behind the bench.

Go Flam!

I don't understand why Kylington gets scratched and Stone gets to play. Just doesn't make sense to me. Why? Why??? Stone should always be eating popcorn in the press box... except in case of injury.

Because reasons and veteranism.

He’s trash at this point. These pairs hurt our transition, and it could be the difference between a win or loss. And that doesn’t factor the speed of their fwd group.

Seems ward doesn’t like Brodie all that much either since his minutes have been cut. Hammer has seen an increase, which is also confusing considering his play this year.

I really really really like this. Just seems so easy and simple. Someone should tell Geoff about these D lines. Really.. Someone. Tell. Geoff.

Can't we see Phillips for just one game? Would it really hurt to scratch Janko and let Matt play instead? Come on Geoff.. you made him fly all the way from Stockton. Let him play for just a few minutes. He can't be worse than Jankowski. What's to lose?

Janko will be out for Tkachuk, won’t he? Would be tough to scratch Frolik or Rinaldo after last game

When does Czarnik's Stockton stint end? Doubt we'll see Phillips in action unfortunately

Makes sense to me. The first pairing is much stronger with Andersson playing with Gio. The third pairing is much stronger with Brodie playing with Stone than Kylington playing with Andersson. Kylington still tries to do too much and relies on his elite skating to save him from his errors. This will be eliminated over time. In the meantime, I won't be surprised if he goes back to Stockton to play heavy minutes.

I could see a repeat of last year's Saddledome Leafs game where Andersen stands on his head and Tavares banks one in off Stone's nose in the 1st period.

Why the hell do you take a rinaldo out over Janko... I mean janko was ok last game but still. Don’t like it. I’m sure Rinaldo understands his role though.
