GDT: Leafs at Bruins | HNIC | Nov 9 | 7:00est | #redemption

[Puckstuff]

Going back to last year it seems the leafs always play Boston the 2nd of a back to back. I hope they come out hard and play well because if they don't Boston is the team to capitalize.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I don't have a good feeling with this being a back to back against one of the better teams in the league. I hope I am wrong and the Leafs show up tonight.

We're one of the better teams in the league

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Not expecting a win

If we do win, I think Reimer will have to steal this one

 

[Moncherry]

This is the kind of game where Bolland would have really helped.

I still can't get over his injury.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Its very simple: just burn the boats baby, burn them all

 

[Pi]

No Bolland or Bozak so we will get destroyed on the dot for sure but outside of that...I am not too worried at all.

This isn't the same Bruins team and this isn't the same Leafs team. We have trouble establishing our game against really fast teams and Boston is definitely not one of them.

If we can get our forecheck going, we have a great chance of winning this one.

Happy Birthday Gunnar

 

[EDDIE20*]

I dunno... I got a good feeling about this one. I think the Leafs will give them a run for their money tonight.

 

[Celly Hard]

ahahahah these are awesome.

Over/Under on how many teams CBC replays our meltdown?

I have it at 800

 

[Rayzorexe]

Just another regular season game guys. Lets just hope for 2 points.

I have it at 800

it will be less than how many times in game they mention it.

Tonight's puck dropper:

Sam Berns dropping the puck tonight....good kid with a great attitude.

It will be interesting to see him next to Chara on the ice....

 

[Daisy Jane]

..... awwww!
he's like Benjamin Button! But in reverse! (not going to cry).

In the documentary trailer he says: "I put myself in front of you not because I want you to feel bad for me, but because I want you to NOT feel bad for me."

Going by quotes, Lucic and Julien are pretty humble about Game 7 comeback.

 

[p.l.f.]

How about this little Torey Krug guy?

to be fair - Lucic during the entire playoff run was pretty much like - we were on borrowed time, we very easily could have been gone home, and gave the Leafs a LOT of credit. (and this goes way back in time when we really stank - Lucic was one of those players who legitimately said - the Leafs are one of those teams who aren't indicative of their record, they are very very good).

he for me is one of those players that you loathe - but would be so happy to have on your team.

Pretty good "free wallet" Chiarelli found there.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

We'll lose

I have pretty much zero hatred towards Boston anymore. Great team, good group of lunch-pail workers who let their playing do the talking.

Thing with a team like Boston is if you make deep playoff runs playing a physical game 2 years out of three you're probably going to start wearing down. Add to the fact they traded their youngest skilled guy and a couple of guys who liked to troll up Toronto, that same intimidation factor just isn't there anymore.

Going into tonight doesn't feel like it did the last three years every time we played Boston, good team but like you said the intimidation isn't the same. Just seems like another game.

Bruins are going to punk Kessel all night. Hope the boys show up to play.

Your hoping for a miracle then, Leafs have failed to actually show compete this season (outside of a few games). I expect them to give up at least 35 shots while struggling to get 22-24, Riemer will do the best he can.... but it'll be up to the players to get some timely scoring. I have no faith that this team can come right out and dominate or even go tit for tat, something this season is lacking with them between the ears, sorry but its true.

Hope tonight's a good one folks.

Any word on whether or not Orr/MacLaren are playing tonight?

Thanks.
