Leafs vs Avs

Willy back with Matthews.


Bibeau starting.

Avs suck dick.

But Bibeau is starting.


Bibeau is a bad AHL goalie.


But Willy with Matthews.


Let's play.
 
GDT - Antoine's debut vs. Angry Aves

Don't see a GDT yet so I'll start one ... many seem to forget but there's a game tonight.

And it's big game for Bibeau, as this will be his NHL debut tonight.

As for his rivals ... depends on how you wanna look at it. If you are an optimist, he's playing a team that showed how bad they can be just last night. OTOH you can argue the Aves, who lost 10-1 last night, are an angry bunch looking to take it out on someone tonight.

Thing is, angry or not, the Aves just haven't been a good team at all this season. They are the NHL's basement team, and rightfully so if you look at their total lack of offense and very subpar defense and goaltending this year.

Only thing is the Leafs have also been absolutely abysmal in 2nd game of back to back this year. I don't have the number handy, but I believe we're winless, and only picked up 1 OTL in all previous contests.

Add to the mix that this is a rare Sunday night game, is what makes it a very interesting contest tonight. Bab's team do need to build off the solid win last night over the Bruins, and I sure hope we build something off the 30th team in the league tonight.

MArincin will be out, I expect Carrick to draw back into the lineup (Don't think Corrado will start just yet but we will see)
 
I don't think we'll need 10 goals, but we'll definitely need more than two or three, unless we really limit Colorado's chances tonight.
 
Leafs need to come out strong to snuff out any early push from the Avs -- they will likely be fired up after the pounding they took last night.
 
Bibeau has been pretty brutal in the AHL, this is a bad time for Bibeau to make his NHL debut. It would have been a lot better to come up when he's hot in late Oct / early Nov.

But then, we shouldn't really need Bibeau to be standing on his head to win this game. He just can't stink out the joint.
 
Varlamov is giving up juicy-assed rebounds.

Playing Marner with Smith and Martin is not my idea of how to maximize the offense. w.t.f.?
 
Why are the Avs so bad? On paper they shouldn't be but they just suck, letting the Leafs do whatever they want.
