GDT: Devils @ Leafs March 23rd 7pm ET

Seeding matters

No, I wouldn’t say that. Just ask Tampa. It really doesn’t matter. I’d rather start on the road against Freddy or Bob, than start at home against Vasi.

 

[Bloomberg]

Yeh, if he shits the bed again tonight, I don’t see how he ever gets another start for the Leafs again.

There's a back to back this weekend. Mrazek should get one of those games regardless of how he plays today. Unless Campbell comes back.

 

[wingman75]

I find the argument odd that people are making that we need to get one of Campbell or Mrazek going... I hate to break it to everyone, but none of our goaltenders have ever won anything at this level. I don't care which one we 'get going', but we need at least one of them playing well. In the past month the only goalie that has looked even a little capable of that has been Kallgren. Sure, the other guys are veteran but if you're not playing well and don't have the experience of winning in crunch time what difference does it make?

I hope they all get hot... but whichever one can, lets get on with it, no preference as to who it is.

Was talking with the guy who was in my seats that night and he said you could even see the players react differently to the new guy coming into the net, like they were relieved.

2 goals in the first minute and a half if I remember correctly. He is terrible. Thankfully the kid stepped in then everyone started playing a lot better sucked we lost in OT after Willy had the breakaway and then the missed call open ice. Hopefully Jack cokes back soon and plays like he was pre all star break or else we could be in trouble

I’m interested to see how the keeps play with the injection of defence with gio coming in if they can play team d like they did the past two games (before the Nashville game) I think it will give the keepers an easier go. But hey it’s the leafs could be an absolute dud too

 

[CabanaBoy5]

Mrazek inspires zero confidence. I'd rather have Kallgren starting and Hutchinson backing up than seeing that sieve in net for us. Nothing personal, but that herky jerky, swimming across the crease style doesn't lend itself to confidence. The only thing confident about Mrazek is his misguided belief in himself.

 

[The Masters]

KAllegran shoulda been in net tonight

[Ginger Papa]

Hi everyone,

Looking forward to seeing your new acquisitions suit up tonight. I really hope that Petr has a bounce back Game. He was able to do it in Carolina last Season.

Some Memes for good luck and health (& speedy recovery to Sandin)

So if the Leafs win tonight and Bruins win tomorrow, we would temporarily be playing them with home ice advantage.... That would be the dream scenario for a 1st round match-up this year.

And yeah I know... Asking to draw Boston in the first round is like the nail asking to draw the hammer... But I think this year could be different.

Todays post game thread will have how many posts?

42 - if the Leafs win with a shutout or less than two goals surrendered.

180 - if Leaf’s lose and surrender less than 3 goals.

750. - if the Leafs win, and Mrazek gives up four or more goals.

2500 - if Leaf’s lose and Mrazek surrenders four or more

Yes. If we beat Boston, we beat anybody... Like the Caps when they beat the Pens.

i would rather Kallgren and Hutton on the back to back

 

[Leaf Rocket]

Just play defense man....

You might be light on the last 3. LOL. #1 and all's well, nothing to see here.

This is a recording.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Welp caught covid finally. Looking forward to this one but going to be a fight to stay awake. Hope the Leafs make it easy on me and put up 7.

 

[The Blueprint]

Figures I got tickets to a Mrazek start.

Please god, if you exist, help our friend Petr find his posts. Bless his glove hand with the power of heaven and may he see every puck in traffic.

May your holy light shine down upon Petr this day and every day, forever and ever, Amen.

 

[TMLAM34]

Excited to see Giordano and Blackwell play tonight. Not so excited to see Mrazek play but let’s hope he turns a corner and starts playing like an NHL caliber goaltender again.

 

[HolyCrap]

Just play defense man....

That would help but even the greatest defensive team won’t cover up for how terrible Mrazek has been.

 

[Macallan18]

Fingers crossed that the goalie that lies within Mrazek that we signed re-emerges and we get a nice win tonight.
Go Leafs Go! and welcome to the new boys on the block.

 

[Twine Tickler]

Pretty excited for this one. Really excited to see what Gio can bring

 

[rojac]

So much "Wah! Wah! Wah! They're not doing what I'd do." Good grief.

 

[Canadian Finn]

More like 98-0, and it doesn't count unless we dominate the full 60 minutes of every game, never give up a single defensive mistake, and make an earthshattering hit every 5 seconds, with an intimidating scowl permanently imprinted on every one of our player's faces.

you are the perfect leaf fan.

well done.

imagine spending $350 for the outdoor classic to only have that tool start.
