Leafs are undefeated on Prime, while the Jets are undefeated on the season.
Something has to give in this battle of Titans.

Assuming they go back to Woll?

The Leafs have no business winning this game. However, every October they seem to start rocky then have a big win or two to close out October slightly above .500 before going on a November run. Like clockwork.

Jets are hot. What changes have they made since last year? When Leafs played them around Christmas they were terrible.

Jets are due for a loss.
Seems they've had a pretty soft schedule to start.

Some good tough matches lately.

I hope the Myers experiment is over... He struggled badly last game. I think it would be a good time to turn to Liljegren and Timmins to give Benoit some much needed benching because he's also been on the struggle bus.

its not the playoffs...
if you think the Leafs are a regular season team, feel extra sorry for the Jets, who have had a top 2 goalie in the league and then he turns into a sieve once the playoffs start. ...even worse than Sorokin who keeps losing the net in the playoffs and Soros, who can steal a game, but not a series.

They were hot then too, but the Leafs just outplayed them and I believe they were also missing Scheifele?
I remember them looking slow and anemic. At one time they had 2 on 0 and didnt get a scoring chance.

Lilly has to come in now. Look Lilly lost his spot and thats on him, but nobody with a straight face can tell me Benoit, Timmins and Myers have played so well that Lilly only should have played one game.

Also regarding the PP, maybe lets give the guy a chance when the PP was clicking at 50% in February. Just a thought coaching staff.

Going to be a juggling act tonight, Leafs, Steelers, World Series

7pm start on a normal channel would have been nice.

This will be one of those "the Leafs should lose, so they obviously will win" games. Woll will steal it.
I really wish you'd stop cursing this team, with horrible predictions. Go predict a long losing streak, as your predictions invariably end up having the opposite result.

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

Lilly should be back in, and should stay in. I don't have high expectations of this team right now, and given how depressing they've played, I haven't really posted much in days. What is there to say? They've sucked.

Thankfully the Marlies are one of the best teams in the AHL.

Hate to give credit to an American "television" station doing a good job with the NHL broadcast but they did a hell of a job the last two Mondays... visual quality is second to none, the play by play is actually pretty good, production value is top notch, intermission show is Ok, the woman who was small talking s#it talking locker room banter with Messier was cringe (no idea who she is, probably a national womans team hockey player) but Adnan(sp?) did a great job. After the Fox fiasco and the ESPN dud - Amazon might be redemption for Americans trying to air hockey...

Much prefer TSN or Sportsnet.
I like to be able to easily flip between games.
