[Glenn Isildur Healy]

This team is unpredictable so who knows what happens....

 

[Daisy Jane]

I'd just like to beat Columbus. they smoked us two already.

 

[Al14]

This smells of another regulation loss! Too bad they couldn't of played a better game against the NYI, and, got the two points!

 

[Paradoc]

What pissed me off about the isles game is the fact that their next game, they got blown out by the ****ing New Jersey Devils..

American based team! Needs to make the playoffs! I would not be surprised to see a bias in favour of the CBJ!

 

[p.l.f.]

We can't beat these guys.
There's no incentive to play them hard because of what they are
Columbus

Yep, they only cared about hockey when they played the Toronto Maple Leafs. This is not NEWS to me. I've been saying for many years that teams play ABOVE they're heads when playing our Leafs and play their normal game against everyone else!

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Need some points this coming week before the 5 game cross continetal road trip.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

The defense lets me down game after game. I can't believe I continuously hope for improvement

This team of losers will do what they do best: lose. Monday's game will include lots of what the Leafs do best:

- Losing face-offs
- Missing the net
- Making average goalies look like late 90s Dominik Hasek
- Horrific PKing
- Edmonton Oilers level defending
- Soft goals on Bernier
- Blowing a lead/leads in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd

All of this will culminate in a regulation loss. 5-1 CBJ.

 

[LeafOfBread]

Columbus is one of the last teams I want to face after a loss like that. The last two games against CBJ were embarrassing.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Please win

 

[The Winter Soldier]

This is a HUGE game, if there is a team I fear that can catch us for the Wild card it is the Blue Jackets.

7 points back 2 games in hand.

A must win folks.

 

[Warden of the North]

Time to get back to our winning ways.

 

[Suntouchable13]

There are no excuses. It does not matter who we're playing and when. It's all about the team and how badly they want the playoffs. The playoffs are right there in front of them. Gotta play with intensity, I don't care that it is Columbus on a Monday night. This is not November anymore. This is March and only 20 games left. No lackluster efforts.

 

[Pyromaniac3]

Hopefully it is not another blowout loss.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Hopefully it is not another blowout loss.

If it is a blowout loss then it would be crystal clear that this team is heartless and does not want to play in the playoffs. I think that is not the case.

 

[Bardown warrior]

Going for 7 in a row at home... Should be able to get'er done. GLG !

 

[darrylsittler27]

Hardcore road trip coming up....

The teams true test is finally coming up,if it goes badly we most likely will be out of the playoffs which means a higher draft pick and Nonnis can start weeding out this team in the summer. Lupul needs to be scarred, if we miss the playoffs both he and Kadri could end up in some really horrible cities, dreaming of the days they were in To.

 

[Warden of the North]

No Bolland, per himself at practice.

Love the optimism, are you a Habs fan?

I'd probably give Reimer this game to be honest. Bernier hasn't been particularly sharp the last 2 games , Reimer hasn't played very well when he's been in net either though.

Tough call for Carlyle.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

No Bolland, per himself at practice.

And this guy wants a 7-8 year long deal.....one glass man is enough.
