This lineup will be super weird to watch... but super exciting.

Now, this is a game I would like to watch but I'm starting on my new job tomorrow morning. Can't be brain dead.

They were a little too clever in delaying Nylander's call up. He should have been up as soon as he showed he was healthy again. Keeping him down there the last few weeks just frustrated him for no good reason.

ah well. hopefully he gives us something to get excited about, even though he won't have much support.

I'm a little surprised to see Kapanen up too though.

But hyman and sosh should be good to go in grinding roles at least.

Looks like the team will finally be interesting to watch the rest of the way,even though they won't be very good.

and hopefully we see lots of Sparks, and not much Bernier.

A game I will def stay awake for. And a nice way to show Stamkos what he could play with next season if he play his cards right.

Stamkos - Nylander - Kapanen

Yeah, I like that line.

 

[mcleex]

Is Nylander seriously playing tonight!?!?!

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

So what are the odds that he shine, score a goal then takes an ugly hit and have to leave the game?

Certainly possible but hopefully not?

 

[SprDaVE]

Just as likely as Brooks Laich scoring a hat trick probably?

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

This is the most excitement I have felt in a long time for a Leaf game.

Come on multiple point night for Willy.

 

[rdogg]

damn I'm working 2-10 tonight so I'm going to miss Nylander's debut

What does LITER refer to?

Not a clue. Im pretty excited to see the kids though

 

[egd27]

Does bringing these guys up now affect their eligibility for the AHL playoffs ?

I am speculating but I think he was typing out LITERALLY.

I was going to give my tickets to a friend for tonight....but with these callups, i'm going now. Anybody want me to start a "come home Stamkos" chant?

 

[Advanced stats]

Not missing this one.
Not expecting much either though...could get ugly tbh.

 

[AngryScotsman]

Looking forward to seeing Soshnikovs speed

Going to skip my krav maga class tonight to watch this one!
