Pre-Game Talk: Leafs VS Islanders|7pm EST|TSN

[Trapper]

I prefer Reinhart myself. Every time I see him he reminds me of Toews. I'd think about it, would be hesitant to deal Gardiner though. Wouldn't have a problem dealing Kadri.

Unfortunately Reinhart seems destined for Buffalo.
If you build from the net out, isn't Ekblad that big right handed D we have been looking for?
So a Reimer/Kadri for (guaranteed) Ekblad would be worth moving on.

I can only see the Oilers trade that pick for a #1 defensemen or one with high potential. The Only player they should be interested in is Rielly. And that would be the end of their discussion.

Team played horribly in front of Bernier. He should have had a goal back. Reimer came in relief and let in two softies. Not like he provided any confidence when he came in

I wouldn't say that, the team had already stopped giving a **** (as little as they originally did..) and wanted it to be over when Reimer came in.

I think if we're trading two people this summer, it's going to be Reimer and Gardiner.



I don't think he had much of a chance on the 2nd goal. And the Leafs were going to lose that game regardless. Putting in Reimer wasnt going to give the team confidence. Also on nights when Reimer got pulled, the team played horribly in front of him too.

I know we like to have this Reimer v Bernier discussion but (not calling you out on this or anything) but you can't seriously say that Reimer has been playing poorly this season.

No Reimer has played good this year. I, and apparently the team however feel like Bernier is the better goalie and feel more comfortable with him in net.

In comparison, from what I can remember, Bernier has essentially been lights out when coming in for Reimer earlier this season.

Friendly visit to say looking forward to a good game. Envious of your goalie situation. Snow really failed by not acquiring a Khudobin or similar and with Nabokov going back down last night, the season could be over.

But don't think it'll be a cakewalk. The top line is the hottest in the game last 12 games or so and they won 4 out of 5 and 8-4-1 last 13, beating DET, BOS and CHI recently.

Yep, can't underestimate any team. We've lost to Buffalo and Islanders have been hot lately.

I predicted a loss last game and today I predict a win.

Reason? When the Leafs are expected to win, they lose, and when you expect them to lose, they win. Everyone's predicting a loss, so they'll win this one, and then when everybody's confident, they'll lose the next game. Then we'll say "well they can't win two games in a row!". They'll win two in a row just to prove us wrong, and then, while Leafs nation is celebrating, they'll lose the next one, and maybe the one after that.

Go Leafs Go!

So does this work if we just predict they lose every game?
That means they win right?
Do the opposite.
