Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Detroit - 7pm - TSN

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Any update on if matthews is playing?

 

[LeafGrief]

Y’all are thirsty AF.

Wonder what the issue is with Matthews. If missing a few games was all he needed to get back to Hart form, they’d have done it in November.

Calling it now, Bruins are going to lose in the first round and Leafs will beat Tampa. Things will work out.

Boston peaking too early. No injuries, elite goaltending and PDO will normalize at the worst time

Woe are those who underestimate the Bruins. But more importantly, we need to beat them. This Leafs squad has a demon that haunts their dreams and the demon’s name is Boston. If we slay the dragon, nothing can stop us.

Bring them on.

Boston has had injuries. They've had both Marchand and McAvoy miss significant time. Other important pieces as well.

Not to the extent of Washington, Toronto, Philly etc.

Want to see a team with no injuries. Look at NYR, 23 total man games lost on the year. That's insane. For comparison Washington is at 300+

GO LEAFS GO, just win

TSN doesn't show national anthems other than the annual HOF game.

Unfortunately this is true. They have the panel talking literally right up until 30 seconds before puck drop and then they pan to Mike Johnson between the benches ... it's like they want to do everything possible to prevent a live-in-person feel to the game and Duthie is the star of the show, not the actual hockey game

Those switches are fine on a back to back. Get some fresh legs in. Rather Matty sit for the big match up on Saturday too.

Not to look past tonight but Matthews I think will be ready to go.

Another 2 points tonight would be great. Glg

I personally like it that way .

I personally think watching the anthems at home is cool for the playoffs but during the regular season I don’t care to see it.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Simmonds is getting a few too many games for a guy who doesn't really deserve any

Hate it, they talk too much
Give me the anthem.

Agreed. Playoffs I want to see atmosphere of the arena and get hyped. Regular season is a library anyways who cares

 

[Notsince67]

Ok. Cued up on ESPN to watch anthem

 

[Leaf Rocket]

oh espn has ferraro calling by the bench I likey.

 

[Notsince67]

Marner mic'ed up for ESPN

 

[dalem177]

That Wings global mod has a serious problem lol. In general they're a pretty hateful bunch which I find funny cause I'm pretty sure most of us don't ever think about Detroit besides when we play them.

Oh we're just funnin' about. Well, except for that one guy.

 

[JlindiesANA]

Good luck tonight Leaf fans! Been waiting all week for this match up.

Got to see McDavid in person yesterday at Honda center against my Ducks, Now I get to watch Marner tonight.

Marner reminds me of a lot like Datsyuk. Sneaky scorer. Wanted to see Matthews tonight. But it’s okay. I’m just excited for some damn hockey on ESPN.

Let’s play some hockey leaf fans!
