Hopefully the Islanders softened up the Leaves for us.

Like clockwork, Toronto finds themselves in the position to have to pay another forward 10M+ on a new contract despite the fact that their defense and goaltending have been first round exit caliber for Matthews whole career. As the old saying goes, if its broken, dont fix it.

Gonna need Lafreniere to get on the scoreboard with a few points again.

 

[Cygnus 2112]

I'd like to see goals from Laf, Kreids and Cuylle

I was surprised to learn that the Capitals are currently in a playoff spot.

It was as if we lost to Mystery Alaska the other night.

Ryan Reaves video tribute during first TV timeout?

 

[Brutananadilewski]

I don't want to hear about scheduling (Toronto played last night), I don't want to hear about traumatic life events...like having a baby, I don't want to hear about those GILFs in that Amazon commercial, just f***ing win.

Isnt he doing the "*insert Marlies goalie* release us!" thing with them too? Was that always his thing?

Anyway I bet they show his 2 goals against his current team and the One(1) fight he was ever involved in at MSG. So much for being the answer to our Tom Wilson problem. More mascot than deterrent.

Jonny Brodzinski is notoriously a loner for these reasons. He's lived his life outside of hockey by the Neil McCauley motto -- Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner -- ever since he first watched Heat. Nothing gets in his way of success.

I thought it was Brodzinski at first.

is it? if it is, they look like they could be brothers, that's wild

They can’t be expected to play every game like they played against LA, but it would be pretty cool if they could be.

Toronto is a team we should beat.

Score some goals.

Very here for the Vesey brothers

Games between these two teams are always wild.

Miller out for personal reasons tonight

Zac Jones will get a game. My guess is Gus moves up with Trouba, but that leaves us with Schneider and Jones.

You're really trying to jinx them, aren't you?

Schneider-Jones looked pretty good after a couple early hiccups
