Nice defensive play from no-stick-chucky.

Alex Swayman lol

I'll take Leafs W at the expense of Montreal!

Certainly your prerogative my friend, but that is definitely a bridge too far for me! After so many years enduring Leafs national TV homer worship I am 100% conditioned to treat Leafs losses the same way I do Sens wins... Both are reasons to celebrate!

LOL. Did anyone else catch "the denim daddies" on the overlay screen graphic before going to commercial?

Im at the point where I am just cheering for my team to make the playoffs. If the leafs help us tonight I would like that.

Terrific start.

Boston isn't with MacAvoy AND Lindholm?? We must capitalize on this. Must.

 

[Micklebot]

Fuuuu Norris so close

 

[Alex1234]

Chabot is everywhere today

 

[DylanSensFan]

So close for Norris!!!

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Stu gets a lot of criticism for trying to do too much, but its also incredible what he does with what he is given.

 

[DylanSensFan]

Chabot is everywhere today

Missed him in the last game.

 

[Relapsing]

Damn, Norris had swayman beat on that shot off the post

 

[Micklebot]

Stu!

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

Timmy!

Has it been reported that we are playing Forsberg?

It wouldn't surprise me if we keep playing Leevi until the wheels fall off. Nothing about his deployment so far has been conventional, and I would imagine that their logic is that when Ullmark returns, Leevi will barely have to play so they can run him into the ground now and let him recover later.

Forsberg has not played since the Buffalo game, and the team has not won a game with him since November. They are 2-7-1 in the last 10 games Forsberg played.

Last week or so, I thought no way they run with Leevi for every single game, because I was using the conventional thinking that goalies need rest. Looking at how they operated so far with Leevi, my guess now is that Forsberg will only play if Leevi can't go - and otherwise Leevi will continue to start every game.

On the topic of us playing Forsberg, I can see the logic of playing Forsberg against the better team. That being, Forsberg against either team is an uphill battle to get the win with our current roster. Leevi against Boston is more likely to be a win than Leevi against the Devils. So we should take the better chance at going 1-1 by giving Leevi the easier game than the higher risk that we go 0-2.

Great post... your 2nd paragraph(Leevi) is perfect, bang on point!

STUTZLE THE KING.

 

[WallyD]

Is Chabot back?

Poor bugger wearing that ugly reinforced fish bowl! Tough slogging when you've played for years with nothing but a visor!

 

[Stutzlaaaa]

[Blotto71]

Goal scorers goal that one

 

[Relapsing]

Were so happy that you've reserved a table at

 

[Sensrule]

I'm fine with Tkachuk not scoring as much as long as Stutzle keeps doing that.
