Pre-Game Talk: Toronto vs Nashville

[Whaleafs]

Subban has been having a pretty bad year, so expect a multi-goal/multi-point night from him. Also Kyle Turris has 0 goals in his last 8, yeah lets give him a hat trick.

There we go. Book it.

Nashville made us look like a lottery team last time, and the Leafs were playing pretty well at the time. The Preds looked so good defensively, blocking passing lanes and taking away time. I'm not too optimistic here given our recent games. Hope I'm wrong though..

Same with Calgary the first time we played them; they looked like a Junior A team against the flames.

We embarrassed them last game though.

I feel like Nashville always crushes us.

We're 4-1 against them with this core....

Wins of 6-2, 3-1, 3-2 (SO), 5-2.
Loss this year of 0-4.

Only the Barry Trotz era Preds did.

That game was in January...the month we went 4-6-0, and both Andersen and Sparks were out. Hutch was in net with Kasikisuo on the bench. It was out 3rd loss in 4 games.

 

[Metroid]

read somewhere GOAT is out for 2 games due to foot injury

Guess we generally play them well.

Before this core they slaughtered us a few times I feel like

lol can Brown even skate backwards

 

[SniperOnTheWing]

Willy stays with Matthews and Kappy moves with Kadri. All is right in the world.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Brown is so vital, he must stay in the lineup over the guy who has twice as many goals as him

 

[Marshy]

Bracco Matthews Nylander
Hyman Tavares Marner
Johnsson Kadri Kapanen
Moore Marleau Ennis

 

[yubbers]

You just know Simmonds is gonna get us.

book it

Brown was probably one of our better players this past week. Not sure why you're hatin'...

Prefer Ennis over Petan but no biggie, guess they needed the center.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

as bad as the last 4 games have been, at least Matthews looks like his usual dominant self again. he's had 70% of scoring chances while on the ice, which is pretty outstanding. I wonder if it has anything to do with Nylander

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Didn't watch the last game on purpose, so we'll give this one a shot

Now picture Babcock as Groucho Marx saying that.

defensively they've been a mess though

Probably not. Probably he'd be like Marincin.

Kadri and Tavares' lines have been sort of bad, especially Kadri. Matthews has been perfectly fine
