Biggest test of the year so far for the leafs and I'm willing to bet the leafs realize it and come out playing a strong defensive game for the first time this season.

Welp, this will be a tough one. Lets see what we can do
I hope they come out and play their playoff brand of hockey instead of the Harlem Globetrotters stuff. A guy like Jake Gardiner also needs to start showing a bit more respect to his opponents and play with focus, urgency and simplicity. Sometimes he gets into trouble when he gets too casual and cute like he's going to deke the crap out of some pick up pond hockey opponents standing still.
Any word on JVR?

I don't expect our defence to resemble Jacques Lemaire's system.
We play a style where offence is not frowned upon, but as long as we are not running and gunning 100% of the time. As Nonis said, we want a team built that can play any style a team wants to.
Cycle, rough, run and gun, trap.
Well not necessarily, they've both made the trip but neither is confirmed to be playing. Reimer seems probably to at least dress but nothing on JVR because they aren't practicingConfirmed by Hurt, both James will be available
Looking forward to it. Love that building, let's hope the boys are up for this challenge!

Bernier in net?
I'm fairly certain that the Leafs are going to get absolutely steamrolled in this game.
They can't break out of their zone and manage the puck well at all. Combine that with going against a high-octane offense and it isn't going to be a pretty night for the Leafs.
Yea, cause the Blackhawks are so perfect!
