The Toronto Maple Leafs visit the shark tank tonight in the second game of a back to back against a powerhouse San Jose shark team. The Leafs will try and continue their recent winning ways after coming off a HUGE road win vs. the Ducks. Tyler Bozak and his star wingers will lead the attack once again for the Maple Leafs. Toronto will need another solid effort from Paul Ranger, Tim Gleason and Carl Gunnarson who were excellent in Anaheim if they want to shut down one of the best offensive teams in the NHL. Oh yeah, that Johnathan Bernier guy will likely need to stand on his head once again​

Ladies and gentleman, your # 1 C.​

So.... Is this the GDT? Or like a 3 hour PGT?

The latter, I don't know who called dibs on GDT and I don't want to make one so yeah

 

[The Winter Soldier]

A surprise start by Bolland would be great news if it happened this trip.

Reimer is probably starting is my guess.

 

[Hurt]

We could just make this the GDT. It is game day.

Aw damn it's an half-an-hour later then yesterday, too?

Go Leafs

Reimer should start. He was great against the Sharks earlier this season.

If that's cool with you then sure. I can't change the title tag though at the moment, on my phone.

Leaf goalies have split every back-to-back this season. Have to think James Reimer gets the call tonight vs. Sharks.

Reimer should start for humanitarian reasons if nothing else. Starting Bernier again would classify as cruelty to goalies.

Hopeful game summary:
A)Reimer stands on his head
B)Clarkson is a thorn in everyone's side and pots a key goal
C)Defense looks fresh and steady

 

[ACC1224]

I'd go back with Bernier if he feels good.

 

[Frelimo]

Hopefully Reimer continues his strong play from his last start. Going with 7D means they shouldn't be too tired tonight. There wasn't too much variance in their ice time last night. I think Phaneuf barely played more than 20 mins.
The forwards might be tired though. I'm looking forward to see how Clarkson plays tonight. He didn't generate any offence last night but at least he "into" the game.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Getting a point in this game would already make the Cali trip a success.

 

[Stats01]

I'd go back with Bernier if he feels good.

Reimer needs to play too you know. He is part of the team...We need Bernier for the stretch run and the playoffs. One game for Reimer isn't going to hurt.

Man I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

It's not about Reimer, it's about the Team. I haven't looked at the schedule but I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get another game.

I wouldn't be surprised if he played tonight. I'd just like to see Bernier continue his roll from last night.

 

[Jacob8hockey*]

Only logical that Reimer starts tonight. Its back to back and we play LA next so Bernier gets to start against his old team.

 

[Leafs Forever]

Hoping for a win, prepared for a loss tonight.

We're at least playing at a higher level than when we last faced them at the start of December. But we'll need some luck to come out with something in this one.
