GDT: Sens Vs Leafs - Nov. 8/23, SN 7pm

[TheTotalPackage]

This is one of those games where you want to see the team carry the momentum. Lay the boots to an inferior Senators team, have Woll play another strong game to gain even confidence from his coach (and fans), and see another strong game from youngsters like Robertson and Knies and have Domi follow up on his effort from the other night.

Anything less and a struggle in this game will unfortunately be a case of the same ol', same ol' with this club. Time to show why they can be and are one of the better teams in the league, and more importantly, on a consistent basis.

Sens will play their best game of the year tonight. Then next game they will lose by 3 or more to a middling team.

Ironically, a loss tonight and you could say the Leafs are a middling team.

Anyone ever go to Jack Astors pre-game? I've never been.
I like to have reservations for dinner but they don't have anything available, how hard is it to walk in around 5 and get a table?

I used to go to the one by scarborough town center and don mills. t's a hit and miss.

You should be fine considering today is not the weekend

We'll see when we get downtown. My daughter is in her Gluten free era right now and we're getting tired of Scaddabush so I thought we try something different.

Once again, I would take the over and a Leafs win, and I don't think this one will require overtime. Ottawa's goaltending is dreadful, but they can score some goals, so the odds favour a high-scoring game.

It's an awfully big space, that one, I'd roll the dice on it. You'd think you'd be ok at 5.

 

[TMLeafer]

Brady doesn't like getting booed by the road fans either.

Never been in but that's what I'm banking on. We have to meet our account rep by 6:40 for the fist bump line and we cannot be late or we miss out.
Doesn't leave a lot of time for dinner

 

[BertCorbeau]

Ottawa always plays the Leafs well.. probably an loss tonight

Again, my guess is fine on timeline, they'll be staffed to the gills on a game day, old hand for them.

All guesses, @Squiffy will not be responsible for any content within this post, nd the reader agrees to forever release any and all such claims.

Might be a losing coach doesn't get on the bus home match today

Have you tried not taking her any where ? Haha I kid I kid

My wife used to be all halal. The irony is not lost because I eat everything and drink

I simply stop taking her places..... her halal priorities changed rather quickly

 

[Suntouchable13]

Matthews needs to score a goal to keep pace with the SJ Sharks as they have one more goal than him so far this young season.

 

[supermann_98]

Next up. You assume Woll has the start, unconfirmed obviously. It's been 20 years since this matchup really mattered to Leaf fans at least but it's always fun anyways.

Go Leafs Go!​

Fixed.

Would. Love to see Matthews continue on his way to 50 in 50 with another goal or two against this "Stanley Cup contender" from Ottawa

how many DIVES are we expecting from Stutzle and the rest of ottawa senators

From Stuzle about 5 and the others maybe 1 each, they're still refining the technique Stutzle taught them all during camp and pre-season

 

[Squiffy]

​

Timmins skating, good news. McCabe still not ready I guess.

I don't know that I've ever attended a game and not gone out prior.
I'd do anything for my kids though and she's not much trouble, she'll go anywhere and figure something out.

It takes time to be the master of diver like stutzle other senators are working quite hard I hear to achieve stutzle level

 

[TMLAM34]

One of those games we should definitely win but we know how those usually go around here…

Hit and Miss. Sometimes their online reservation is stupid just call in to see and may be there is something available

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I hope that third line continues to gel and find chemistry, especially for Robertson but Domi as well. Lord knows Robertson has been trying to make the team forever so hopefully this is the callup that sticks, and Max while he’s struggled would go a long way towards making here his “forever home” if he can lock down the 3C slot.

I think they just block off game nights and don't take online reservations, many places don't.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I'm just excited to see Stutzle and 5M in cap space tonight. Should be entertaining

I was watching Robertson's defensive play last game and saw positive signs. He didn't over-commit in puck battles to the point of taking himself completely out of the play and did a better job getting on the right side of the puck. If he can keep playing smarter and not be so reliant on his quickness and energy when defending (especially along the boards) he should stick around. I'm sure management can see we could use more skill so if he's not hurting us defensively I like his chances.

Someone needs to set up a poll on the mainboards who is the best diver...Stuzle or Matthews after salary is considered.
