Pleks has been playing like crap since the trade, and maybe playing against his former team is the wake up call he needs to find his game again. Other than that, there REALLY isn't a whole lot of reason to get excited about this game. There's really little to fight for in terms of the standing...

I saw this quote from teeds from another thread, which I'm sue speaks for the sentiment of many people (myself included). Not to disagree with the point, but to go off on a tangent, it's interesting while we all praise Hunter daily for the amazing scouting and drafting (and I do too), now that...

Last game before the bye week and the sad Sens are coming off a 8-2 massacre in the hands of the Blackhawks just last night. We just coughed up a point in the last 5 min of the game 2 days ago ... all signs point to the fact this is a game we have to win tonight. Dermott is out for tonight as...

So far we're 0-2 on the road trip, our goaltending is still holding up but our offense has really struggled recently. We're not going to win too many games scoring 2 or fewer goals per game. Let's hope we turn things around quickly, preferably starting tonight. Matthews is still out, and no...

It's a rare Sunday game, a rare back-to-back game, and the Oil is coming off a big win last night (which I guess is also rare) We played a pretty good game last night vs. a very good Pens team (who didn't play very well last night), but we still needed fine plays from Andersen to secure the 2...

With the 7 games winning streak snapped by the Yotes, the Leafs get on the road again and faces Reimer's Panthers tonight (but Luongo has been confirmed to start tonight instead of Reimer ... which is probably good news for us) Even though the Panthers may be a shallow team in certain...

Let's get the GDT started ... the buds need a rebound game, we've got off to a very poor start defensively this season, and played 2 of our worst effort games this week, both resulting in 6-3 losses. There are some lineup shakeups for this game, with JVR and Martin out, which is not...

This is the final pre-season game and while it's mostly an AHL vs AHL game, it matters to a few guys on the ice because this is their final audition for the big club job. I believe those who played last night (Moore, Rosen, Borgman) has the inside track, but those who plays tonight (Leivo...

Been a while since a GDT so here we go .... this is the first pre-season game for the Leafs' 17-18 season. Not sure about the lineup at this point, but Babs usually plays his 'bubble players' heavy in the first half of the exhibition games, and his lineup is more set for the 2nd half. So we...

The Forwards Matthews = A+ He was pointless in the first 2 games of the series but once he adjusted to the playoff he was unstoppable. 4G in last 4 games of the series when the series got tight. He is the real deal. Nylander, Kadri, Komarov = A Kadri and Komarov drew the tough duty of...

Didn't seem like Zeke nor Beleafer had much luck with the GDT the past couple games so I'll give it a shot if it's ok with everyone. No question biggest game of the season, where the young Leafs face elimination for the first time this playoff, and this will be a GREAT learning lesson, facing...

We won the first game of what I considered a 'critical 5 games stretch' and tonight we'll face a more competent opponent in the Flyers, so we've gotta play better than we did vs. the Wings too. here's hoping the win gives the team some much needed confidence back, and we can build off that...

The bad news is we had a disastrous west coast trip where we only got 1 / 6 points, and as a result we got bumped out of the wild card spot. The good news is, the toughest part of the schedule is finally over, and after a rare 4 days break we'll head into the final stretch run with 18 games in...

This is gonna be the last game of the disappointing road trip, let's hope we put a positive end to the last game. It is not gonna be easy, cause the Ducks are a good team, and this is the back end of a back-to-back too. (and it's gonna feel SO weird not having a game on Sat night tomorrow)...

Since you guys have revived this thread, I've updated the stats based on Andersen's performance in 1617 thus far. I have also compared him to 2 other goalies in the conference this season - Rask and Price. To summarize ... - As Leafs' #1 goalie this season, under heavy workload, Andersen's...

This is round 2 of Auston "Calder" Matthews vs. Patrik "Runner up" Laine. Should be a great game cause there's so much on the line. Matthews and Laine are head to head on the Calder race, and Leafs and Winnipeg both need the win : Leafs to stay in the playoff position, Jets to get into it...

I almost forgot there's a game tonight ... the leafs' busy schedule begins with 3 games in next 4 days, and this is the last road game before they come home to ACC tomorrow night. The Leafs nearly escaped losing 4 in a row, thanks to some puck luck and suspect goaltending by Boston. I hope...

This will be the first game the Blues are playing after the coaching change, and also the first game the Leafs played after what was probably the worst opening period by the buds under Babcocks. The Leafs have won 3 out of 3 games after they pulled a stinker this season, let's hope that...

So we've got a rematch vs. King Henrik and the Rangers, who have been in a terrible slump lately. It will be the first game this season without Rielly, and 2nd game for Corrado. With NYR, OTT, CAL as our next 3 opponents, the bud can really get on a roll here. Of course we gotta take care of...

I am pretty sure Andersen will get another start tonight in back to back after his shutout last night. It's the last game before the Christmas break anyways so why not? It's Auston's home coming, and the local fans will go crazy over one of their own's first NHL game in their backyard. Yeah...
