Pre-Game Talk: Winnipeg Jets @ our Toronto Maple Leafs, March 31st 7pm

[Fogelhund]

Just some pre-game talk, starting with goaltending.

Looking at the Maple Leafs goaltending situation now, they have seven goaltenders under contract this season, and only two of them are currently healthy. A good thing for Toronto, though, is that Jack Campbell, who hasn’t played since March 8th, is now day-to-day. He could return to the Maple Leafs lineup at any day.

Mrazek - Groin
Campbell - Ribs
Scott - Groin?
Woll - Shoulder
Hutton - Hasn't played since October, and in "injury recovery" no idea what is wrong.

+Petruzzelli is ill, not on a NHL contract anyway.

Which just leaves us with Kallgren, and Hutchinson for now.

The short-term solution to the Maple Leafs’ goaltending situation

I didn't think I'd ever say this, but Erik Källgren and Michael Hutchi...

FTB: Anyone got goalie pads?

Official word: Michael Hutchinson was held of tonight's game and Keith Petruzzelli is not in the lineup for precautionary reasons due to illness, per the #Marlies. — Nick Barden (@nickbarden) March 30, 2022 The Marlies are playing in Abbotsford BC last night and today, and then they fly to...

The team has the day off today, so we won't have updates on either Holl, or Lyubushkin, until Thursday (game day)

Hopefully they are both good to go though.

We need to be careful here, Jets are back to defend their Stanley cup win from December

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

This sucks. We’re going into this with a rookie goalie and possibly down two of our regular defensemen. I really want to beat these pricks but the cards are stacked against us.

I'm glad this is the game that follows the Boston game. This one felt a lot bigger than it did prior to the Bruins game.

An emotional let down was surely coming had we been playing another also ran. The emotion may be muted somewhat because of Boston, but they should have no problem getting up for this one.

Yes, this is TERRIBLE. Columbus has this going on with their team as well. Absolutely HATE this.

Game 2 of the Jets Stanley Cup finals series.

Last time they met it was the greatest victory in Jet franchise history.
They are going to be motivated to relive that dream night while the Leafs will be on a bit of a let down after beating two really good teams and now facing one of the bottom barrel teams.

Jet fans will shirley put their teeth in and maybe even bathe before this one, so they'll be shined up for what could be the second greatest night of their lives. Nothing will ever top that December night. Rumour has it the Manitoba government is having Canada Post create a stamp to commemorate that night.

Jets will be on the back end of a back to back. Some players in Covid protocol (Kyle Connor and defenceman Nate Schmidt) Comrie will be playing against us (Hellebuyck tonight against Buffalo.)
Comrie is on a 5 game winning streak and has yet to give up more than 3 goals a game.

Remember when the Jets were good? Poor Schiefele. So little to get excited about anymore.

 

[danny90]

Another goon team, hopefully the refs call penalties early

Bring up Gabriel for this one.

Bring up Gabriel for this one.

He was traded months ago for Krys.

Those subtitles are hysterical... "Have fun and be responsible." Riiiiiiiight. That's what Stanley said.

Hopefully the team plays a complete game tomorrow night. Kallgren will need all the help with all the offensive fire power Winnipeg has.
