Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Bolts | The Return Of Freddy | Tuesday Night

[Kiwi]

I have noticed his minutes slowly creeping up so I think they are already planing for it

Good, he's some kind of talent

I'm really happy his game is translating to the nhl.
I've been cheering for him for a while now

 

[The Best Leafs Ever]

Looks like Matthews and Zaitsev may still miss Tuesday’s game.

Leivo back in.

Matthews is an amazing winger, what is this old lady smoking? Did she forget the worldcup already? Pathetic for a reporter.

??? She was talking about his chances to come back tomorrow from injury, not his ability to play wing.

am i the only one hoping we lose this game? Much rather get the Bruins in the 1st round then the lightning.

The Leafs should want to win because what if they get Tampa in the first round, a victory can show them how we are not going to be an easy 4 wins for them once the playoffs start. Plus the more wins the Leafs keep getting means the chance at 2nd place and home ice, along with getting closer to officially clinching their playoff spot.

yes, I would hope so.

Interesting theory though, afraid to win because you're worried they can't win .

We'll have to beat them both eventually. May as well plant a seed of doubt here

I think most of us that follow the Marlies we're fairly high on him, surprisingly he's been better than I thought he would be which is saying something

 

[pheasant]

Can't wait for Freddie to get one win closer to the Leafs single season record. Really want a win for him tonight.

Thou shalt not speak ill of Kristen.

He's a centre, and he's practicing on the wing which doesn't bode well for him playing tomorrow.

And Babcock confirmed he's not playing, so she was right.

I was pretty confident he would make the jump but I am impressed with how quickly he is improved

I've been impressed but not surprised. not to brag or anything though

don't hurt you backs fellas what with all the self patting here

Like kiwi said if yu were a marlies watcher there is no surprise with seeingg dermott perform

My back is fine but my hand is getting sore haha

 

[Kiwi]

His skating has really helped him transition to the NHL level

He can keep a tight gap without getting burned especially against those 3rd or 4th line types

Him and Carrick are headscratchingly good together

You don't need to be a brain surgeon to know the kid was to good for the AHL Walshy, that one was obvious

 

[thewave]

This is so freaking weird. He puts Johnsson, a lefty on the RIGHT side while Nylander is a RIGHTY. Hyman is a Righty and is in practice on the LEFT side?

WTF is the point of playing RW on the LW and the LW on the RW.

Did someone screw up that tweet or are we actually crossing up the wingers natural handedness? I mean, lets just do it for all, starting with the D Core!
