Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Wild - Black Friday 2pm

[MSZ]

Sorry, thought you meant back to back Devils and Wild.
Did they say he's playing both this weekend?

Keefe hasn't decided who starts on Saturday. I guess Samsonov is not quite ready to go.

Unfortunately, no.

No worries.
No guarantees made whatsoever. An argument can be had that the tweet gives off the impression that it's under consideration due to the start times of each game though.

The only goalie I ever remember playing both ends of a B2B for the leafs was Andersen…it resulted in a lot of overwork and injuries

Murray is pretty injury prone, I feel like we would be better off taking our chances with Kallgren, as much as I hate that

Guessing they'll take it one day at a time.

Kallgren actually did it earlier this month against Pittsburgh and Vancouver. I had to be more than okay with that considering the circumstances.

Exactly, the potential for injury with Murray would be my cause for concern here.

100% a nut shot, Malgin smiling after says it all

That assistant coach was having a chuckle too.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Simmonds in it looks like

Simmy finna bang that thang up! He might even fight reaves. These souljas is hard. Minny also has some other fools who can war that thang up. We aint got many soldiers, only a couple.....

If he intentionally saved that shot with his balls, then my respect for him just went up tenfold.

The friday night horror and suspension was exactly what we planned when we was thingking about the schedule. People have nights off and no work and all. The pleasure now is all YOURS and the entertainment value will be massive in this one. Congratulations again br

Let me ask you a legit question.

I know this was possible back in the day, is it still possible now in the technology age?

I feel like I have to throw my phone into the river to not know what's happening with the Leafs during a game lol.

I mute all notifications relating to leafs and try not to get on HF all day, it usually ends up working out

The only issue is I can sometimes just check HF without thinking, so need to avoid that!

 

[leafsfan5]

idk man Robertson had a pretty decent game last night, he obviously had a terrible turnover on the PP that led to the kick in goal but he brought some tenacity and a motor

I'd keep going with him, take someone else out for Simmonds if you really need to

 

[HolyCrap]

I googled “World Cup” to see if that’s the FIFA tournament I heard about. Lol. Goes to show you how much I follow soccer.

8-1 Leafs

I showed up to work that morning and my boss told me to pack up and meet him at the game. What a day.

 

[Gabriel426]

For the King. They better come out firing with a #21 sticker on their helmets.
Wilds got tougher with Reeves, going to be a good game.

 

[Leafsfan74]

Middleton was a nice pickup for them, my kind of D Man. Now they add Reaves. We know what type of team Leafs will be facing and we don't have Clifford roaming with Simmonds.

There are no easy games in the NH each one is a test of varying degrees of difficulty and/or "looks". Wild ar on the playoff bubble also.

I personally think it's crazy to scratch a young player for 4 games in a row, insert him into the top 6 against the best team in the league while the defense is in shambles, and then take him right out again because he didn't look great. What the hell was Keefe expecting? He should be trying to get Robertson comfortable since the Leafs can't score, not trying to screw with him

I simply cannot watch soccer. With all the diving and faking and generally boring play it’s unwatchable

 

[Fogelhund]

Benn out at least seven days, considered week to week.

[Judas Tavares]

For those who don't like Kallgren, it could be good news. I'm a bit shocked that it isn't automatically Kallgren getting the start Saturday. The fact that they are considering Murray, who currently needs to be load managed, on a B2B, I think is telling. I remember it happening with Sparks and then Hutch, it got to a point where the team no longer wanted to play them and sort of made it know in the same kind of way. I wonder if when Samsonov comes back and when Woll gets reps in with the Marlies, if he becomes the #3.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I was thinking Murray starts in Pittsburgh against his old team on HNIC but if he's starting tomorrow I doubt it.

I regularly watch the game later that night, and my friends are too fond of life to spoil it by mentioning the outcome.

The best thing about soccer is that it makes you realize that NHL referees are NOT the worst.
