The loss to the Panthers were sure disappointing, but tonight we get to redeem ourselves vs. the Stamkos-less Bolts.

The Bolts might be a little dejected after learning Stamkos is gonna be out for a few more weeks at least, or they may also more motivated than ever to continue the march without Stamkos. What they have done since losing their superstar has been nothing short of surprising though, and the Bolts are definitely a top team in the East, and a good measuring stick for the inconsistent buds.

The Leafs snapped a good run last game by playing one of the most embarrassing games - and that comes at the heel of a few really suspect moves by Carlyle too, including bumping McClement back to 3rd line role and 3rd line minutes, inserting Clarkson back in the lineup (who did score though) and dressing both Orr and McLaren again.

I hope to see Holland soon ... I really don't want McClement with 10+ minutes again.

BUt this team also gotta respond much better than they did vs. the lowly Panthers.

Let's hope it's a good bounce-back game tonight.




Go Leafs Go!!!

I wonder how Randy will fvck with the lineup again tonight?
 
I feel like we need a good two games so the break is a positive one; even though we'll all be watching the Olympics, the Leafs lose the next two and they guarantee themselves bad press. Win the next two, they'll probably get buried by the Olympics.

The St. Louis announcement today may not be good for us, definitely look for him to be feeling dangerous tonight. Score first, get the Leaf fans into the game, hopefully we follow our usual plot and follow a stinker with a good game.
 
Not much hope for Randy not using the same lineup as last time, as I don't think Holland or McKegg are available (although I've been too busy to check anything the past few days).


Important game to win. Tampa gets too far up otherwise.

Get your asses in gear tonight, boys!
 
Putting Clarkson back in the lineup, and bumping your 4th line center to the 3rd line when your 3rd line center gets injured aren't questionable moves. And he didn't dress Orr and MacLaren.
 
again there, Franson is the non-star of the show.

halfway through that sequence Franson gets the puck and loses it with a lazy play, causing us to be hemmed in our zone twice as long.
 
Franson needs to be dealt while he still has value; greatful he never got locked up long term
 
you guys owe leafman chocolate cake. he said it from the start. franson's just not a good defenseman.
