GDT: Anaheim (7-18-3) @ Toronto (18-5-6) - Tuesday 7pm - TSN

[willmma]

Don't forget that tonight the Bruins are at home against the Islanders and the Devils are at home against the Stars.

Well I hope they both lose

So the recent expansion Seattle Kraken are playing and performing as a top 5 team from Nov onwards. Interesting !!!

Reversing it up? Samsonov Tues/Sat, Murray Thurs?

Makes sense, gets Sammy in against Washington.

Regardless if it's onwards, it was an impressive 6 weeks for Sea and Tor

Looks like they are alternating starts

 

[therealkoho]

It's a trap!!!

someone better let Mess know!

 

[therealkoho]

Trap , Shmrap !

 

[Mess]

someone better let Mess know!

I'm well aware..

However with Anaheim playing yesterday and losing 3-0 to Ottawa it would be hard to imagine Leafs losing this one, even if it is a trap game.

So I'm not worried !!!

 

[Martin Skoula]

Optimistically, I would have suggested that the Leafs could be on that list... but none of the others.

We were all expecting a Boston regression, with age, and in particular their injuries. New Jersey came out of nowhere, but they also have the second hardest schedule for the balance of the year, having had the easiest schedule so far. Seattle, nobody would have predicted. Pittsburgh, getting older, so they've had a nice run as well.

This is the average rank, of remaining opponents for the year. Habs have the hardest schedule left, based on current rankings, Devils second hardest.

This is a graphic of who has had the hardest schedules so far. Leafs are near the top of hardest schedules.

They really need to invert the metrics for the Leafs. "They started the schedule easy with 41 consecutive games against top-10 cup contenders but just wait until they run through the gauntlet of Anaheim, Arizona, and San Jose in the back half."

Murray played the Sat and Tues (3rd and 6th) last week.

Me neither. Anaheim is yet again full of suckas. Their number uno goalie Gibson returns for action tonight but even him is not able to save talented people like zegras etc from losing... our fire Power is that hard we all love being leafs right now and are investing so much hard money on our organization. All the other hockey world is yet again watching us and not even themselves. The hockey world knows the leafs better than they know themselvs... thats hard right thurr.

 

[TimeZone]

Should be a points night.

I'd proceed with caution regarding expectations tonight given our track record the last two seasons against bottom dwellers.

The Ducks have 1 RW all season and will be on the second half of a B2B with both on the road. We are undefeated in regulation in the last month or so

we are screwed ya'll

Sounds about right, yes.

 

[Blanche Blanche]

We should score a couple real quick. Score first if possible. Play tighter and only gun for the best opportunities having the lead!

In other words do what we have been doing the last month!!

Go leafs!!

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Let's get back to how we were doing the entire month except for Calgary game.

 

[TheDoldrums]

idk what the stats say but I love pontus holmberg. He is not scoring much but he makes so many small good plays to tilt the ice

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Well the bottom 6 went from unplayable garbage to actually pretty good around the same time he was inserted into the lineup. I don't think it's solely due to him, but he definitely helps. He's not a big time scorer, but he's definitely not useless offensively either

 

[Fogelhund]

It would be nice if he could start to chip in offensively too. Him claiming the 3C spot would make our future so much easier.

 

[Jojalu]

24 point pace for a season for a 3c rookie who doesn't play on the PP is actually pretty good.

 

[LeafSteel]

Leafs playing down to this team would be the Leafiest thing to do, but I'm hoping we continue our hot hand and roast these ducks.

Go Leafs Go!

 

[TMLeafer]

24 point pace for a season for a 3c rookie who doesn't play on the PP is actually pretty good.

I see some upside to his offense too. I like his shot, hope to see him get more opportunities to wrist it.

 

[PromisedLand]

Having watched Messi and Argentina put that clinical performance really hope Leafs show up and make it a great night!!!

lets go

 

[wingman75]

We're overdue for a loss, but hope it is not to these lame ducks...

One more win!

I like the call of starting Samsonov.

 

[Gilmour1996]

I think we are more likely to have the score evened out by zebras than zegras.

 

[BallardEra]

Ducks looked so bad last night. Matthews hatty tonight.

 

[Metroid]

Guy I'm facing in fantasy has Matthews, so I hope he cooks down this week and then explodes week after ;-) I do have both goalies and Tavares tho. (Benched saros cuz he's useless this year)
