Vegas has the leafs as a pretty big favorite at -160.

 

[Raym11]

Hoping someone on Edmonton replicates Gagners 8 point night

 

[WilliamNylander]

Huge must-lose game tonight

Tomorrow is our stanley cup finals

 

[p.l.f.]

A must lose !

 

[Stephen]

My god this team is a joke. If they ****ing lose to Edmonton, I'm done. I'm seriously ****ing done.

You DONT lose to Edmonton. You just dont. Forget about McDavid, you just dont lose to Edmonton. Mcdavid wont be able to save us if we lose to that ****ing team. As if we haven't been embarrassed enough, this would be the ultimate ****ing embarrassment. You dont ****ing lose to Edmonton!

We've already lost to Buffalo.

 

[BooRadley]

Both teams should pull their goalies at the start of the game, may as well pad those stats.

Funniest part is they'll still only score a goal.

 

[Erdinger]

We've already lost to Buffalo.

Losing to Buffalo and Carolina is a given though. Oilers will be a lot harder because Leafs don't have the recent history of doing that a lot.

 

[p.l.f.]

There will be an opening ceremony and banner raising tomorrow for the new franchise record !

Funny guy hah ha . lol

 

[mikeyz]

If by that you mean the Leafs should be favoured to lose, it would appear to be right.
I have every confidence that the Leafs can make it 20 straight games.

I don't know about that.

I would love it though.

We lose to Buffalo all the time. Its a close rivalry and we play them often. We destroy the Oilers regularly when we play them. Losing to the Oilers in this situation would be an all time low for this crappy team.

 

[Frelimo]

I'm feeling decently confident about this one. Edmonton may be one of the worst teams in the league, but we've been able to lose to horrible teams before. We just did tonight! I know the Oil have some injuries, but they've won some games recently and this is a back-to-back for the Leafs. Hopefully we're tired. I haven't checked, but hopefully Horawreck saved up the Kessel line for tomorrow, so we could play them a lot and let in some key goals at key times of the game. It'll be important to come out flat and get a weak start, maybe let in an early goal, just to make sure we really have no confidence.

C'mon boys, I doubt in you!

 

[TheLeafsBro]

It's gonna be a really interesting game. Seeing the two softest first lines in the NHL go up against each other. Wow. Hoping Eberle and Hall bring their shooting mits cause I don't think Kessel or JVR will.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

I've watched 2 Oilers games this week, I think they are playing better at the moment than we are. Not kidding too.

Hall and pouliot are out.

 

[TheLeafsBro]

Hall and pouliot are out.

Oh damn, I thought Hall was back.

 

[WilliamNylander]

Hall and pouliot are out.

Every tank team is missing players. We should consider keeping JVR or Lupul out of a few games just to make it fair.

Carolina: skinner, EDM: hall, CLB: murray

 

[garce]

Edmonton is more motivated.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Scrivens shut out

Apparently Phaneuf counts as our missing "star"

 

[12345678910]

Oilers can **** right off. 1st overall picks haven't done **** for them so far there's no reason for them to be in play for another. Should be some sort of a formula where if you have 3 recent 1st overalls it works against you.

 

[garce]

Is Aulie still there? He scores and a Scrivens donut.

 

[A1LeafNation]

hopefully scrivens wants to beat his former team badly.

 

[p.l.f.]

Healy should have some fun
This is his baby

 

[TheLeafsBro]

We should sign Healy to a contract and play him the rest of the way.

Would ensure us the best chance at McDavid.
