Pre-Game Talk: Panthers vs Leafs | Jan. 30/14 | 7pm ET, SNET-O

[Hurt]

Seems some doubt has been placed on that in the last 24 hours or so. Its going to be very tight for him to even go to Sochi.

That's a terrible setback. Hope it's nothing major.

 

[LV*]

How do we suck against Florida... wtf

 

[Warden of the North]

That's a terrible setback. Hope it's nothing major.

Im not even sure its really a set back, as much as it was cooling the rampant expectations that him being back in practice has created. It was always going to be tight for him to be back in time, and with the deadline approaching, the Canadian hype machine is going into overdrive as usual.

 

[Peasy]

That's a terrible setback. Hope it's nothing major.

Said he HOPES to get a game or 2 in before the break, so yeah, wont be back for a little bit.

Seems like he really wants to play in the Olympics though, said he'd even be up for it if he didnt get a game in before hand.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Lets see who wins. Florida's 30th ranked powerplay or our 29th ranked penalty kill.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Lets see who wins. Florida's 30th ranked powerplay or our 29th ranked penalty kill.

that's going to be very interesting to see.

i do believe that we're really plugged in right now. We're winning this game.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

Apparently he's hurt along with Huberdeau. Time to capitalize.

Barkov is doubtful for this game, he should be back Saturday. Huberdeau has been healthy and playing the last 2 weeks.

How do we suck against Florida... wtf

Because both teams have been really bad for long stretches of time?

We always seem to stink vs Florida but this is game we have to have.

Florida is 8-5-3 since 2005 at ACC. It's not that much of a domination.

 

[X66]

The only reason we lose the panthers is because reimer is ungodly ass against them.

 

[ACC1224]

Expecting a win here. At this point they shouldn't be taking any more nights off.

 

[Revolt]

Need the next 2 games, at least 3/4 points.

 

[pucci2001]

I just hope Bergenheim and the kids that follow his footsteps doing own our D in our own end again, that was PAINFUL to watch.

 

[PuckMagi]

any word on clarkson?

 

[mcleex]

Where's the GDT at

 

[stickyiki]

any word on clarkson?

David Clarkson managed to get through skate today with no issues. Still must have stitches removed from elbow before he can play. - Jonas Siegel, TSN1050

 

[stickyiki]

Gleason and JVR are also playing tonight. 50/50 chance that Bolland plays a game before the Olympic break

 

[RedRenegade]

Gleason back already? Wow, that's a bit of a surprise. I thought he'd be out for at least a few games after seeing how long he was down for. No games missed could be some pretty impressive toughness.

Someone get the GDT going!

Click new thread and it's done.

thanks for the update!

so i'm guessing another game or two before he's back then?

yes, very impressive! he looked pretty done for by the end of last game.

maybe Carlyle should give Gleason a bit of a break by letting Ranger sub in for Franson for a few games. that should make Gleason's job a bit easier.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Barkov is missing this one (I think)

 

[Liferleafer]

Our next 5 games are tough?

We face Florida twice, Ottawa who we usually beat, Tamp who we just beat, and Vancouver who we can never beat.

I wouldn't exactly call that tough.

Something like Vancouver, Anaheim, LA, Philly, Pittsburgh should be deemed tough not a span of games with Florida twice, Ottawa, and a team we just beat.

Vancouver is most certainly tough since we never beat them, Tampa is tough but it can be tougher, the other 3 are games we really need to win

7 points in my goal. 3-1-1 or better

I was calling the same thing, 7 points in the next 5 games.

 

[RedRenegade]

Ok, it looks like no one's signed up to do it so I'll post something quick for the GDT.
