GDT: Leafs @ Islanders - The Return 7:00PM TSN

[Warden of the North]

Please do not go to the Islanders board and troll. You'll get an infraction.

I would highly recommend you dont go there and post anything, even a compliment of their team. They dont want to hear whatever it is you have to say.

Also, if an Islanders fan comes here and causes troubles, please do not respond to the post. Report it, and we'll deal with it. Responding to it accomplishes nothing.

Now, Go Leafs Go! Win it for JT!

No skate today. Assume lines are the same except for Marincin-Holl on the bottom pair and Sparks starting.

It's just a game. f*** their fanbase and franchise. Means nothing but 2 points for us in the standings.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Hope they saved some goals for this one.

I think they're in for a tough adjustment after tonight. The Isles are tight defensively and don't give up much.

Sparks will need to be sharp IMO .. If the Leafs are going to win, I don't think this it's going to be pretty

 

[Filthy Dangles]

A lot of fish fans actually think he was addition by subtraction which is funny

 

[TorontoTrades]

I hope Tavares scores 2 and has a 3+ point night.

Hope the team shows up for him and they give him the return he really wants even though he will downplay it.

 

[TmlHockeyFan]

They should play Andersen again. Win it for Tavares.

We'll see how it goes. Islanders are going to be motivated, Leafs are on a back to back and our defence is going to be strained with Gardiner and now Dermott out. Sparks will have to have a hell of a game and the team will have to get timely goals. Scoring first to take the crowd out would be huge.

Honestly, anyone with half a brain can't blame Tavares for leaving. He signed an incredibly team friendly deal so the islanders could compete and they f***ed it up. On top of that they don't even have there own arena. What kind of bush league franchise is over there? If they had anything worth staying for he would still be there

 

[Burnie97]

Just win. 2 points is all that matters. Ignore the noise.

 

[Warden of the North]

Expecting 2 bad Marincin penalties, one of which is probably puck over glass.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Holl, Marincin, Sparks against tight defensive, hard forechecking team?

... Hold onto your butts guys

 

[Jozay]

Marincin-Holl is gonna get destroyed tomorrow. Not really their fault, but man, its gonna be ugly.

Babs saying Marincin - Holl

No. He needs rest and this game is meaningless.

 

[sxvnert]

Babs: "If your knees don't hit the kitchen table your opinion probably doesn't matter"
Leafs media will spin this as a negative to attack him. Guaranteed.

[GardinerTheForward]

Let’s win for JT

 

[Whaleafs]

No. He needs rest and this game is meaningless.

Passing the Bruins in the standings is meaningless?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Not expecting a win in this one to be honest. Hopefully they surprise me, looks like a scheduled loss to me.

Marincin-Holl is gonna get destroyed tomorrow. Not really their fault, but man, its gonna be ugly.

I wouldn't count on that, have you seen our offense lately bc i can't find it. Good Luck tomorrow guys, it's sure gonna be hell of a game

[stakesishigh]

No Andersen, no Gardiner, no Dermott, no Kadri.

Good luck out there!
