Oilers seem to be struggling as of late and getting their net filled. Hopefully the Leafs can continue their Western road swing with another W after their 4-1 W against Calgary last night.

Matthews and McDavid will go head to head so hopefully Matthews will have an extra gear with something to prove here.

Would love to get the win against these guys.

Hope we get the 2 points here and watch Matthews outshine Mcdav

Would love to get the win against these guys.

... before they relocate to Calgary?

Now that would be fun.

Match Matthews with McDavid plez.

Match Matthews with McDavid plez.

Kadri was matched up against last time and shut him down IIRC

Leafs are 9-5-1 all time in Edmonton since moving to the Eastern Conference in 1998-99. For some reason Leafs always pick up points in Edmonton and lose in Calgary. Hopefully it's not reversed this time.

Match Matthews with McDavid plez.

Would be nice but we have somone who ***** ed Mcdavid last couple of games

It's easier for the home Team to dictate the match up.
Say a prayer they don't try and match McDavid against Bozak.

Oh god that would be horrifying!

If they don't try to put McDavid out there against Bozak every shift they possibly can, Todd McLellan should be fired.

It's ironic that McDavid compared himself to Tyler Bozak leading up to the draft. I wish Tyler Bozak played even a little like McDavid. I guess McDavid never watched much hockey outside of the Leafs if he thought Tyler Bozak was a good comparison to him.

I think the Leafs should go with Matthews against McDavid especially if he's with Hyman and Brown for the entire game. It's the only line up worth chasing, the other lines, it doesn't really matter too much.

Feel like this one should be an open high scoring game.

 

[MapleLeafistan]

Na...I think this game will be pretty low scoring...possibly go to OT. Saturday game in Vancouver should be fun...it better be, because I'm coming to the game.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Matthews and Kadri will both probably see plenty of time with McDavid. If TMac was smart he'd get McDavid out there against Bozak as much as possible, but he'll probably let Babs dictate the matchups

 

[Bluelines]

Talbot has been stinking the joint out, last years best defencemen have been horrid, McDavid has been pretty meh , so add that all up and we get spanked 10-1...

 

[Kamiccolo]

Oilers on a win streak. Love to beat them, if we don't be prepared for 1000 posts proclaiming Oilers >> Leafs and every player is better on their team than on the Leafs.

Oh wait, they post that dribble regardless of the results on the ice lmao.

...I'm sorry, what did he do to McDavid?

Stopped
Lol

I'll see you there

 

[willmma]

Gotta love it

 

[beamer67]

Gotta love it

I remember that. The Oilers board was really soar and hating Kadri after that. LoL

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Gotta love it

that was a great moment

 

[MJ65]

Last night was great, I hope they can play like last night. I hate losing against these Oilers

 

[PromisedLand]

Over-Under of McDavid line being matched by McLellan against bozak line?

And the outcome of those line-matches?

Especially, when bozak line tries to dump and make a (bad) line change to get shutdown out against McDavid - would Freddie be able to continue his heroics?

If Babs rolls with Bozak-JVR against Edmonton; I am pretty sure that match-ups are going to create a headache for us (leafs brass and fans alike) and GDT is going to be super fun

 

[PromisedLand]

Gotta love it

Please..... Didn't you see the whole situation? McDavid was ticked off as Kadri held him with his free arm; should have been a holding penalty on Naz.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Roll 4 Lines (Oilers have 3 Good Centres)... Assuming Draisaitl is at C

Martin - Matthews - Marner
Komarov - - Kadri - - Brown
Hyman - Marleau - Nylander
VanRiemsdyk - Bozak - Leivo

or

Hyman - Matthews - Marner
Komarov - Kadri - Soshnikov
Brown - Marleau - Nylander
VanRiemsdyk - Bozak - Martin

Yes. Martin Will Play because the Oilers have some tough players...
(Lucic, Maroon(ish), and Kassian)​
