[Daisy Jane]

More information will be provided as the day goes along. BudsFan is really good at finding'em, but i figure let's just get'er started.


Babcock, you know what we've been gearing down towards this entire season.

​

I don't want to hear any guff from you, Mike. This is what it is all for.

Don't make me do this to someone else Mike

​

They'll never play hockey again

It's for the best, Babcock. It's an Unfortunate Set of Circumstances.... It's No One's Fault...

If Bozie was playing they would have to send a Marlie down?

 

[Daisy Jane]

Matthews is yours.

Don't let him go. Don't let the bad bald man take him away.

There's a good chance that we may win.

Hopefully Calgary competes hard.

AIR CANADA CENTRE

Puck drop: 7:30

TV: TSN4

Radio: TSN Radio 1050

Key matchup:Johnny Gaudreau vs. Connor Carrick. A pair of pint-sized but very skilled players line up against each other. Listed generously as five-foot-nine, Gaudreau is a fearsome scorer, leading the Flames with 24 goals and 70 points (through Saturday). Listed even more generously as five-foot-11, Carrick has two goals in his last three games as he finds his way on the Leafs’ blue line.

Need to know: The Flames went into Sunday’s game in Montreal with a 3-1-1 record in their last five. Goalie Nicklas Backstrom was scheduled to get his first start in 14 months . . . The Flames were 14-14-2 vs. Eastern Conference teams . . . Freddie Hamilton, Dougie’s older brother, scored his first as a Flame on Friday agianst Colorado . . . The Flames were without forward Sam Bennett (upper body), defenceman Ladislav Smid (upper body) and goalie Karri Ramo (torn ACL) against the Canadiens . . . Flames captain Mark Giordano has equalled his career-high for points, 48, set last season.

Up next: Thursday, vs. Anaheim, 7:30 p.m.

Hopefully Calgary competes hard.

With Calgary having played last night, and having the worst road record in the league that is a good possibility.

OTOH:

Leading scorers in game:

Player|Points
Johnny Gaudreau|71
Sean Monahan|55
Mark Giordano|48
T.J. Brodie|38
Mikael Backlund|39
Nazam Kadri | 37

That's kind of nuts, isn't it? The way this season has gone statistically, with Bozak and especially JVR out, is just unbelievable . . . but yeah. We will in all probability not have anyone even CLOSE to a 60 pt scorer, never mind 50. Kadri better make it to 40 . . .

Mark Masters @markhmasters
Based on line rushes, Bozak and Boyes likely to miss another game ... Laich returns on line with Greening-Smith.
------------------------------------
David Alter @dalter
James Reimer is 3-1-0 with 2 shutouts, a .956 save percentage and 1.26 goals against average in 4 starts with the San Jose Sharks.

Mark Masters @markhmasters
Leafs lineup change for (tonight) v Flames: Soshnikov (upper body) out
Komarov (lower body) in ...Babcock confirms that Bernier will start.

 

[mcleex]

We are never gonna gain ground on Edmonton.
Every time I check they played 3 more games than us ... so annoying

We are in last place, with three points LESS than Edmonton... What do you mean..?

All we have to do, is not let them get lower... They can't lose points.., only make more.. or stay the same..

Besides, the top five "pickers" will be shuffled a bit with the lotto, anyway.., so relax my friend..

 

[SEER]

Paul Hendrick @HennyTweets 6m
Projected lines tonight:
Michalek-Kadri-Grabner
Hyman-Nylander-Parenteau
Greening-Gauthier-Leivo
Laich-Smith-Brown #TMLtalk

------------------------------------

SEER@SeerJokes
It appears that if there are any more call-ups needed for tonight's game,
that Lou has decided that Budsfan.. will be called up..., as soon as Lou negotiates
a royalty settlement with BUDWEISER... and they accept Budsfan's Rider agreement
to have the Bud-Lite Girls as the Leafs ice-crew for the evening.... #Don'tsuethejoker

 

[FlareKnight]

No idea how we can win a game with that lineup.....But you never know.

In the end we'll see what Calgary has in them after playing yesterday.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

K we actually need a loss though. For the tank.

 

[Budsfan]

Sorry I'm late, had company.

 

[Budsfan]

 

[kk87]

Yea we have 3 less points, but also played 3 less games as well
We could win those 3 games, if we win tonight we are 1 point back only
