T. Jarry

Looks like Jarry will be playing but Pittsburgh C depth is non existent. I guess it's probably an L for the boys tonight then lol.

I hope they show up tonight and start going on a tear. Too many times the big guns minus Nylander.... are off the score sheet to start the year. I still expect a lot better from this team.

Letang is out tonight as well due to covid protocol.
Leafs lose this one and ... I don't even want a know what this place will look like lol

 

[Team Cozens]

Leafs are playing against Wilkes-Barre tonight. LOL. Wonder if the game could be cancelled.

 

[Nineteen67]

Too bad the Leafs are exhausted from playing and travelling.

We will though. We always lose to back ups and undermanned teams. It's what we're good at doing.

[Nineteen67]

I fully expect the Leafs to treat this game like it’s game 7.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Can we go back to playing only Canadian teams?

 

[Aashir]

It’d be nice if someone not named nylander Spezza or bunting did something positive on the scoresheets. It’d be real nice if they made over $10 Million

Yeah this is turning into a trap game forsure

6-1 Loss incoming?
Only goal from spezza

 

[Burnie97]

I don't think it's Dermott who should be coming out but glad to see Lily get in... Jesus these guys are stubborn on who they take in and out of the lineup despite their play.

Haha wouldn't surprise me either.

 

[leafsfan5]

Man if we don’t win this one

 

[stickty111]

Pens also missing Letang now. This is the kind of game we will lose and probably by a lot.

 

[stickty111]

Man if we don’t win this one

Would it be surprising?

 

[stickty111]

I don't think it's Dermott who should be coming out but glad to see Lily get in... Jesus these guys are stubborn on who they take in and out of the lineup despite their play.

Of course when they do play him, they take out the wrong guy

 

[leafsfan5]

Would it be surprising?

Not at all, which is why I’m concerned for tonight. This team has shown that easy wins are never easy

[ponder]

We better be able to beat the Pens without Crosby, Malkin or Letang.

 

[Carltons Cup]

We all know Jarry is gonna put on a Vezina clinic.

Because its the Leafy thing for him to do.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

We will though. We always lose to back ups and undermanned teams. It's what we're good at doing.

We always lose back to backs too it seems. So many people on here love writing these games off as they were tired and just take the auto L while miraculously other teams somehow win a back to back every once in awhile.

I expect a loss as I don’t believe in this core anymore but let’s see what they got. It’s gonna be ugly in here if they do lose and interesting to see how much the pressure on Dubas is turned up if they continue playing like this.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

Too bad the Leafs are exhausted from playing and travelling.

No worries, they took the night off yesterday. Should be fresh.

 

[Havoc]

Dermott has been lights out. Why in the world is he coming out and not Holl (if it is so).

You guys see Holl on the Meier goal? Weak by Hutch but not as weak as Holl along the boards. He even has a short 2 on 1 with Muzzin on the guy and is fishing with his stick. This is Holl in a nut shell. For 1 on 1 rushes he's the guy you want on the ice. Not even McDavid can beat Holl 1 on 1. For anything else....cross your fingers. Unfortunately for us the "everything else" happens 95% of the time in contrast to the 1 on 1 rushes.
