I actually didn't know fining players for being late was a thing. But sure, don't care either way.

Horachek's system? Check.
Playing vs New Jersey? Check.
Possibly Romanauk calling the game? Check.
Looks like a snoozefest tomorrow.

WTF is going on with the Devils right now
No Brodeur, Parise, Kovalchuk and best of all WE GOT THEIR CLARKSON
Easy win, Clarkson Hattrick + Gordie Howe Hattrick incoming.
71-0 final score

Sorry for changing the title again, but I felt like Clarkson is the best one to put there (for those unaware, I kept Brodeur first, and replaced him with Parise)

It doesn't really matter if they play. our top line of Kessel,Bozak,JVR can singlehandedly lose the game so I wouldn't worry about it
Make it 11 boys. I felt bad but not anymore. If we need to break records for change so be it.
Ellias hat trick. Schneider with the shutout.

Imagine this though, Leafs lose 14-15 in a row, bottom out and end up in a race for a top 3 pick, and bam win the lottery and grab mcdavid.
will anyone care if we go on a 15 game losing streak if we get mcdavid at the end of it all?
I could care less about this season anymore, I dont know why anyone wants us to win anymore this season, the core is going to get traded, this pretty much isnt even our team on the ice anymore, it's going to be different faces so why cheer for them to win?

To some people, they'd rather win a few more games because they still think the team can make the playoffs and they cannot see beyond a few months from now. Some fans will chase that 8th place dream over the cliff. It's this mentality that's been running this franchise into the ground for 10+years now.
Trust me, I would love to see the leafs lose every game from here on out. At the same time idk I just feel bad for the players I don't mind them losing 9 in a row, but to break the losing streak record. It'll be absolutely demoralizing for them.
I've never once felt bad about a Leafs loss after I jumped shipped to tank nation (I was probably one of the earliest members of tank nation). In fact, the past 10 games have probably been my happiest moments so far this season. But if they lose this game, it'll be a bittersweet victory.

The odds are in our favour in this one.
Leafs are not likely to lose 11 straight and will break that streak eventually. I don't think they want to establish new franchise records.
NJ have already beaten the Leafs 2 X this year so we are due to take one and last time we even got a point off of them by taking them to the shootout before losing.
I'm thinking 2-1 or perhaps 3-2 Leafs.

You can't predict the outcome of an interesting Leaf game that has a storyline on the standings. The outcome will be both what you're expecting and what you're not expecting.
Also....do I ****ing dare bet all my vCash on Toronto?

Sure, 5 million per year has go to make things a lot easier. But unless he is truly as moronic as he looks, Clarkson can't feel all that great that millions upon millions of people view him as one of the most useless players ever to disgrace a Leafs uniform.
And being back in a rink where all sorts of things conspired to help him score 30 goals in a season, has got to stoke the more realistic narrative that that was a massive fluke, and he is truly a worthless piece of ****.
So I'm thinking some pressure may force Clarkson into offering up one of those "even more worthless than usual" games that he is known for. More untimely penalties than usual, more than 2/3rds of the game on his overpaid ass, more laughable attempts to play hero. Maybe he'll offer up one of his orbital bones for a well-deserved shattering like he did earlier in the season.
On the other hand, if I'm correct and he is a hard-core narcissist, his own worthlessness bothers him not a whit. In which case there is no correlation between his "more worthless than usual" games and situations which more starkly shine a light on his worthlessness.
So the conclusion is: expect a worthless Clarkson, or perhaps an even more worthless than usual Clarkson.

I think the odds for this game are 75% to win and 25% to lose.
I feel a slump buster game coming in this one.
If I were betting my money on this game I would place it on the Leafs to win.

Disclaimer: Devils have been playing boring hockey, especially since the coaching change. It has resulted in points though. Just giving a heads up to not get to excited lol.
