Pre-Game Talk: Lightning @ Leafs, Thursday Night

[Suntouchable13]

It will be very cruel if Leafs ended up losing the remaining games in regulation and TB/NYI won out. It can't happen. We've been through enough already. Adding that to our roster of heartbreak would be very cruel.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

That was pre-Keon era. We have outlived the curses

Let's remind people of our good luck, most of which we created

Got ride of Reimer * who was in charge of an epic loss and epic collapse of playoff*
Keon agreed to put the differences aside
Won the 1st overall pick
Got lucky with Marner over Strome ( at least so far)
Got rid of Kessel, got Anderson and Kappy instead
Got Babcock
Zaitsev signs with us


We are in a place in rebuild where it took the Oilers 10 years.

We got this. We are winning tomorrow. It won't be easy but we got this.

 

[Kadrillionaire]

You made me believe.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

You won't have to cheer for then if the Leafs win tomorrow. I'd be cheering for Ottawa to beat Boston though.

I'm cheering for Boston tbh. As greedy as it sounds, I want 2nd in the division.

 

[Torontonian]

Leafs know how big the game tomorrow is, Im sure there going to come out flying wanting to clinch the playoffs

 

[Paradoc]

Must win if we want to make it to the playoff and place in top three division.

 

[Leafs at Knight]

I believe.

 

[Ash35]

I would like to see a line up change if our players are healthy

1- No Smith. I don't care if you have to put a winger at center but no Smith
2- Sosh back in. Kappy will be good in the future. But he has looked out of place especially when the game gets physical. We need more sandpaper.

Kapanen has looked great. We won the first 4 games with him in the lineup.

Then there was that other former Leaf who apparently put a hex on the team, now lifted.

This version of the Leafs walked into Buffalo when it mattered most and slew that dragon. I believe they've got this and will go into the playoffs through the front door.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Going to be a beat down in Toronto tomorrow.

If I was Vasilevsky I would pull a Rask and try and sit out tomorrow. I can see the Leafs being fired up and throwing 40+ shots on net. These young guns live for the pressure, all three of our franchise rookies are big game players and they will show it tomorrow. Hope Stamkos got his seat in the press box to watch this one.

I have such a bad feeling about this. Tampa has been rolling so hard and have so much to prove. We've been rolling about as well but my gut says that we're not playing with the same kind of chip on our shoulder.

Argh..

Well you live up to your name.

 

[Keato]

Did the Leafs practice today, and was there any update on Boyle? Did a cursory Google search but didn't see anything.

Why does everyone keep bringing this up as if it's a strong possibility. You people are ridiculous.

They aren't even playing well lately. 5 - 4 - 1 in their last 10 definitely isn't rolling.

 

[frog]

if leafs win then they clinch a playoff spot, if leafs lose and tampa also loses then they will clinch aswell!!

If didn't say it was a strong possibility. It's just sort of a plea to the hockey Gods to spare us, if you will.

 

[willmma]

I don't know if any one mentioned this yet. But Toronto is going to play Tampa twice tomorrow : Leafs and Jays

 

[Pyromaniac3]

if leafs win then they clinch a playoff spot, if leafs lose and tampa also loses then they will clinch aswell!!

I don't think so. NYI won't get eliminated.

That game 7 was on Randy, not Reimer.

He essentially iced his bottom six for the entire final 10 minutes.

McClement saw more ice time that game than Kadri FFS, who was parked on the bench to watch it all unfold, after combining for 2 with Kessel, to put our team up 4-1.

Other than that I agree with your post.

 

[MR4]

Bring it to OT please, and have Penguins beat the Jackets, so that they're essentially locked into their spots in the metro so they don't try against us

should be able to win 1 of the last 2 if that happens

 

[Kiwi]

Just win

Don't care how or how many

Just win

 

[as Pure as Evil]

so just curious, does non regulation loss + a islanders loss = a clinch. I know we hold the tiebreak in row that way, or is it we just need a win, regardless

I haven't heard any updates either.

He's been pretty underwhelming in my opinion anyways, was expecting more when he came over from TB.

Anyways, I just hope they do not bring Smith back in the lineup if Brian can't play.. please no Ben!!!
