Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Canucks

[egd27]

Lafferty has been ok but I hope he can bring a little more to the table than basically being Blackwell 2.0. He's definitely not been as impactful as Acciari.

2 games played?

 

[Aashir Mallik]

We're a much better defensive team this year

Wow those are some elite numbers

Even the offence, I’d say it’s not bad. Matthews is having a much worse year than last year and we are on pace for 30 less goals, id say he could make up that difference.

Well acciari is looking like a steal from that oreilly trade. Dude is legit

Lafferty has looked a bit meh. He’s tried some nice passes and has done decent forechecking, but yea I don’t see him as good as acciari. Hopefully he provides more as he gets accustomed to his linemates and roles

 

[Optimist]

maybe he needs to come home grab a few hot dogs from Mckellar confectionery, that seems to cure all for me! lol

lol.. Just drove by there half an hour ago.

 

[Confucius]

They have won exactly 2 games in Vancouver since 2010.

These little streaks/slumps in sports are perplexing and interesting.

Except for the fact they play more games in Buffalo this actually seems worse.

Vancouver also almost never wins in Toronto

I think we haven’t beat Arizona in like 20 years. Lol! No sure thing in sports.

I was mistaken we are 6 and 15 against them, but still…

 

[saltming]

Sabres up 3-1 on Tampa in the 2nd. Hopefully buffalo holds on and we can put more space between us and tampa with a win

 

[leafsfan5]

We will be up 7 points on TB if we win tonight

Get it done

 

[Judas Tavares]

We're a much better defensive team this year

Actually was a bit surprised to see we are up a point on last year considering we finished with 115 points and right now our pace is 111. So it must of meant there was quite the heater to finish the season, which I do not remember. But turns out we went 15-3-2. Wow. Would be pretty impressive to finish out that way again, but just finishing ahead of Tampa and finishing strong are key.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

Sid Seixeiro is a p***y, always has been.

I'll never forget when he went on a disgraceful rant live on the air about Dion Phaneuf, and Phaneuf called the show to confront him. Seixeiro turtled like the bitch that he is.

Wait, Dion called the show???? lmao

 

[BertCorbeau]

Leafs always struggle in Vancouver .. that arena hasn't given them much luck.

Despite the Canucks struggles this will be a tough game for Toronto. Would be nice to get the win to end the west coast swing to go 3-1.

 

[budzz]

No roster announcements anywhere yet? Are they gonna go with an 11-7 again? You have to think Schenn will be in against his old team. Hopefully Lil is back in.

If it's 6 D i hope we go with
McCabe - Brodie
Rielly - Schenn
Gio - Lily
Holl can sit up in the box and have a smoke and a pancake and just watch.

Leafs are in Vancouver
But they are playing to our time

What's up Vancouver ?

 

[AvroArrow]

Spent 4 hours shoveling my big ass driveway on our wide ass street, snowplow piled up the snow like 5 and half feet blocking my driveway. Wifes having contractions, headed to Etobicoke general ! Might miss the game to witness the birth of our daughter, but I'll be sure to drop another $5 on the Canucks for the boys.

Lmfao not that I'd watch the game instead She had braxton hicks a few days ago, so could be that again we are about to find out

They should be used to it by now.

Good to be a homeowner

Congrats man, that's fantastic is it your first?

 

[Gilmour1996]

If Murray starts, betting Samsonov finishes. Hope not though. If he's just rusty and lets a few bad goals in early, I hope they leave Murray in and let our offence overcome.

 

[Burnie97]

Sid is such a gasbag, yeah va

yeah Sid is such a gasbag! Anything did clicks.

Yeah Vasilevskiy is an amazing goal tender and you could compare him to any current goalie and he’s got better numbers. What is he even implying? Dubas should have improved our goalies this deadline? Lol with who?

I know I'm guilty for even posting it... because that's what he wants ... to stir the pot.

He just bugs me. He's a guy who probably barely played any sports in his life and acts Iike he knows everything about every sport.

Exactly though. Brutal points by him. He just wants the reaction on Twitter. Seems like he craves Leaf fans chirping him.

Sabres up 3-1 on Tampa in the 2nd. Hopefully buffalo holds on and we can put more space between us and tampa with a win

I also want to see Buffalo make it so I can laugh my ass off at Ottawa fans.

Exactly what I was thinking lol

Then have the sabres upset the Bruins so we don't have to face them in the second round

Your wife's doing all the work. Just watch it on your phone.

Liljegren is listed as injured with undisclosed injury

President Trophy winners have been knocked out of first round by the underdogs more than a few times in the past, and I wouldn't mind to see it again this year.
