Just win baby!!!

 

[canadon]

I missed Leafs hockey (even though it is a busy holiday season now). Lets have a good game and a win tomorrow!

 

[Nineteen67]

Friday at NationPam Arena.....keep the Yankee cannon quiet.....

 

[Coachcorner]

This gon be a tough cookie again because we play the most tanned guy coaching against and he got that twerk too mayne! They is tough players who hit that thang hard. We can't compete with that. But we speedier like gonzalez arriba arriba antaylee antaylee so we can speedo that thang up. Skillwise we better. We got the good goalie too, they is aaight also. We might win this ice hockey game.

 

[tom leafers]

Has Toronto had a lot more Friday games this year than usual? i count three so far i think. B2B's on friday/saturday make so much more sense when the leafs are playing than say a tuesday wednesday.

 

[PuckMagi]

any word on which game Sparks is starting? gonna bet the over on whatever game he starts.

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Want to see

Nylander - Matthews - Kapanen
Johnsson - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Moore
Lindholm - Goat - Brown

​

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Such a terrible schedule this year. 4 days off, then b2b, and then 4 days off into a 2pm Thursday game.

 

[LeafChief]

Poor Johnny T.

First game against the Isles on Saturday and likely to have Sparks starting.

That worked for me on Bodog the last game he started

 

[Alamo Leafer]

Crap, you're right, didn't think about THAT till I saw your post.
JT should challenge AM for each to come up with hat-trick or we're cooked

 

[Torontonian]

Would start Sparkz against Columbus seeing how he played our last game and you can consider him "hotter" then freddy since he hasn't played in a week. Then get Freddy back on track again, but as history has shown us that Babcock will start Freddy on the first game of the b2b

 

[Boutette]

Yeah, poor Johnny, when the back-up goalies upstages him by winning his six game in eight.

 

[LeafChief]

I hope so.

All I'm saying is I'd rather see Andersen playing in that game if I'm Tavares.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Columbus is on a roll and quietly having a strong season. This is a tough game right after the break. Hopefully the Leafs show up with a good effort.

Not an easy one for sure.

Yea, that certainly is a weird schedule. Maybe Freddie starts these two games....he's gotta be rested, and then he's ready the following Thursday. Not that I mind Sparks playing, but there is no reason not to play Freddie.

 

[Kamiccolo]

Such a terrible schedule this year. 4 days off, then b2b, and then 4 days off into a 2pm Thursday game.

Not to mention hardly any Wednesday games so most are blacked out nationally.

 

[DoobieDubas]

DOnt have agood feeling about this game so ill see myself out of this thread.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I expect a win, Columbus played tonight, they went overtime, AND yhey have to travel.

Toronto is fresh and should already be in Columbus

I expect a win

 

[Voodoo Child]

I can't be the only one who thinks that it's inexcusable that before we play the Habs or Edmonton once, we play Columbus three times.

At least let us play the Habs or Oilers early enough in the season that they still have hope.

... They played the Habs on the very first game of the season

And Edmonton plays in the western Conference while Columbus is in the east...

NHL scheduling is a bit wonky all around, but I don't see a major issue here...

 

[Optimist]

Let's just beat these guys so that I can watch Torts squirm on the bench. He's my most despised person in the entire NHL.

Ah right, long time ago with the Habs and living overseas, forgot.

But still, and not to take a dump on cbus, but why not have one of the two games vs Edmonton already? We've played San Jose, Winnipeg and LA twice already, Edmonton and Vancouver zero times.

Also feels like every Friday game is against Columbus.
