Alright AM34 and Marner. Get some points on the board tonight.

Overall we need a solid 60 here, getting 0 points from this weekend would be a failure.

 

[RoadWarrior]

With no lineup changes I'm expecting a repeat of yesterday.

Campbell will have to stand on his head.

 

[wingman75]

One would think that these back to back scenarios provide a great backdrop to alter the lineup and mix up the lines a little. Just to throw a different look at the same opponent. Also, considering last night's effort was of 18-wheeler quality, it should be a no brainer to change things up a little (beyond Campbell).

What those changes are, I do not care, I am not a coach so I really have no opinion on that but it looks clear after 2 games some adjustments are warranted.

 

[Critical13]

Let’s see if the boys can redeem themselves.

Will be disappointed if we don’t see Lehtonen.

 

[weems]

Campbell era begins tonight.

Team better show up and play a full 60 but it wouldnt really shock anyone if they didnt.

 

[Clark4Ever]

It's time to change up the forward lines Sheldon:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner
Vesey-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Barabanov-Thornton-Spezza

 

[ShaneFalco]

Marner might want to work on registering a shot before thinking about karaoke machines

Soup is an average hockey player

Has to be a win tonight. They better come out flying. Its early in the season sure... but they have to be way better. Simple as that.

 

[MattySnipes]

Back-to-back. From what I rmbr we are excellent at those .

Kidding aside, super happy to see Campbell get this start. Let's ride the hot goalie from here on out. Let's get a proper effort from the boys too. Everyone except Hyman's line has to do something tonight.

I think we should all expect a much better effort and result from our Leafs tonight, not solely because of goaltending but player performance.

Expecting a multi goal game from Matthews tonight and 2-3 assist performance from Marner.

 

[PromisedLand]

wanna see

Mikyeyev-Matthews-Nylander
Hyman-Tavares-Marner
Robertson-Jumbo-Kerfoot
Barbanov-Spezza-Simmonds

Rielly Brodie
Muzzin Holl/Lily
Sandin Dermott

then again I can make all the line combos BUT work ethic and compete level cannot be thought it has to come from within; hating to lose; willing to compete, i.e. it has to come from the heart. This team lacks heart IMO

Prove me wrong

He has been since his injury.

It's time to change up the forward lines Sheldon:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner
Vesey-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Barabanov-Thornton-Spezza

Seems so obvious. No idea what Keefe's trying to accomplish.

 

[ACC1224]

Tonight should be a fairly easy win, 5-1, 5-2 something like that.

 

[hockeynorth]

Matthews is going to explode tonight. McD did it to Vancouver, Mack did it to Colorado, Matthews' turn to just dominate a team this season.

So many people penciling him in the top-6. I really don't think he belongs there, just doesn't have the offensive IQ to keep up with any of our big 4.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

It's time to change up the forward lines Sheldon:

Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Mikheyev-Tavares-Marner
Vesey-Kerfoot-Simmonds
Barabanov-Thornton-Spezza

Barabanov out
Hyman & Mikheyev & Vesey dropped down one
Robertson first line
Campbell in until he needs a rest
Dell backup

 

[Subway Schenn]

Lehtonen's in tonight. Birthday debut.

Matthews is going to explode tonight. McD did it to Vancouver, Mack did it to Colorado, Matthews' turn to just dominate a team this season.

I hope so before frustration sets in. Probably dragging his arse last night with a sore rib or back. Just a thought

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Lehtonen's in tonight. Birthday debut.

I would be more interested in removing Barabanov since he isn’t even using him and changing the forward lines with the addition of Robertson beside Matthews.
Thornton experiment should be over.

 

[Racer88]

Thx Cor for the game thread

 

[Morgs]

Y'know, I'd just love to see Bogosian not playing today.

I'm also very excited to not have to deal with Fred giving up 5 goals on 2.8 xG.
