[Raging Bull]

Lupul's last stand?

Reimer probably going in.

[The Winter Soldier]

A must lose game. To remain in the Mc-Eichel draw, and a guarantee of one of Hanifan, Strome or Marner.

Big game.

Big game.

It isn't a must lose. It would be nice to, but it isn't a must.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Wait there's a game tonight?

 

[The Winter Soldier]

It isn't a must lose. It would be nice to, but it isn't a must.

Well I'd rather us be 2-2 for our last 4, rather than 3 of 4 and be gaining some false momentum.

This team may suddenly start playing well when it does not matter. Like a bad rerun.

 

[Mess]

Washington currently holds the #7 spot and 1st WC spot entering this game.

When Carlyle was fired the Leafs held that #7 spot @ 40 games.

Today 22 games later Leafs now trail Washington by 21 points in the standings.

Good call, don't put pressure on them, they might crack and start scoring.

Ottawa is playing that role right now just close enough to tantalize, seven points and three teams to pass is a tall order.

 

[Quares27]

Hopefully enough players get traded to the point where we really suck and can catch the Coyotes

A must lose game. To remain in the Mc-Eichel draw, and a guarantee of one of Hanifan, Strome or Marner.

Big game.

The Leafs are in the draw. All non-playoff teams are in the draw.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Leafs win and we stay in 4th. Leafs loss and we move up to 6th (unless Jackets win which I doubt).

David Nonis will be making some huge moves again tomorrow time. You'll see, you'll learn. You all will. Nonis will do everything in his power to maintain his position in our organization. I for one will be not making any depositions on this leafs organization unless so many people are gone. I will not be investing money on the maple leafs anymore until some players are traded, personel gone etc. Our team has sucked so much this season it makes my rear end burst.

 

[Durrr]

Would be a huge loss to give us a 2 game cushion on the Canes and hopefully a 3 point, 1 game advantage on CBJ (if they can win tonight vs the Pens).

Pretty big stuff when you realize that there are 20 games left, and we'd need to make up about 1/4th of the remaining games just to draft anything higher then 7th.

Every loss is huge, even a 2 game cushion is 10% of the remaining schedule.

 

[Pyrophorus]

We haven't won a road game this calendar year...this streak continues.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

The Leafs are in the draw. All non-playoff teams are in the draw.

That's an obvious point. You want a better draw.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Ottawa is playing that role right now just close enough to tantalize, seven points and three teams to pass is a tall order.

I am perfectly happy we keep Horachek-ing the rest of the way if it means we get 1 of Hanifan/Strome/Marner and a realistic shot at the next one.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Capitals better come to play and not take Toronto lightly

 

[Andrew Mack]

Be interesting to see if anyone is held out of the line up.

 

[Stephen]

We need the Capitals to kick some ass tonight...

 

[TNCHL]

Kessel will get 4 points and win us the game

 

[Finnish your Czech]

We need a big performance by Reimer tonight

 

[senor martinez]

We need the Capitals to kick some ass tonight...

This is a very tough team the capitals have man.
Trotzky has made them real cool.
Ovechkin has played a strong season, I'm surprised if he doesn't get a goal tonight. I'm also hoping for leo komarov to destruct dirby his rear end real goongnam style tonight.

 

[Apollo Leaf]

Probably the last game for some of our players, cheers to a good game.

 

[bunjay]

This is mostly just an opportunity for Ovechkin to pad his lead for the Rocket Richard.
