Hoping for Jones due to predictability factor but also intrigued by the kid

 

[HockeyVirus]

Dominated a team the Leafs considered to be an elite team, following it up with a bottom feeder.

About as much of a schedule d loss as you get.

 

[tom leafers]

Id prefer to go with Hildeby. Give the kid a start against a shit team and don't risk injuring Jones.

Not only are goalies way less effective on the 2nd half of a back to back, but Imagine if Jones gets injured?

Id prefer not to give up assets just to acquire another mediocre backup

 

[rumman]

Hard not to go back to Jones if he’s up to it, perhaps they want him tomplay against his former team the Sharks?

 

[DarkKnight]

Anaheim starting their backup and they’re fighting the flu, plus they stink. Seems a good spot to start the kid, but I get Jones too.

FTFY

 

[Optimist]

Any word on Beniot's finger injury?

 

[Confucius]

Anaheim starting their backup and they’re fighting the flu, plus they stink. Seems a good spot to start the kid, but I get Jones too.

In other words, tough game tonight

I agree mostly but I think put the kid in. Give him a shot and get Jones ready for the Sharks.

I think the Leafs will try and protect the kid more tonight if he plays.

Start the guy that gives you the best chance to win and that's Jones.

 

[Budz]

Play the kid. Protect Jones.

 

[Racer88]

At least it’s not a crazy 10:30 start

If they start Hildeby, I’ll stay up to watch the game

If they don’t, I’ll go to bed instead

 

[LeafSteel]

Mr. Gudas, say hello to the HildeBeast……

 

[Kiwi]

Overplay and injure Jones and were In deep ****

The next month is to important to risk him playing a b2b after a win last night

 

[Enniskillen]

I wouldn’t risk overworked Jones being injured on some stupid play from Vatrano or another overzealous idiot happy to be broadcasted in Canada. You know these Canadian players always wanting to show their best to The Six and all their relatives watching TV.

I agree I just don't see a better option when the other option is an AHL rookie.

Or do you want to start the guy who is mentally broken?

The Leafs need to add a goalie but that hasn't happened yet.

 

[TheBeastCoast]

This is the spot you play Hildeby. The kid is going to play. There isn't going to be a better chance for him to get his first start...so don't over think it.

Winning 2 of 3 in California would be okay for me.

Hildeby.

 

[Aashir]

I’ll be more impressed with a win of any kind today vs yesterdays super complete performance

Should be a stat padding type game, but hope we can at least eek out a win, preferably in regulation

 

[SprDaVE]

There are 0 reasons to put Jones in a back to back and risk an injury or have an off game when Hildeby is more than capable. It makes no sense. I hope Keefe doesn't do it.

If he struggles so be it.

 

[Frostitute]

Play Hildabeauty. Can't risk an injury to Jones and there aren't many weaker teams to dip your toes in the water with, quack quack.

Oh the terror of a rookie not being 100% NHL ready before he's ever stepped on the ice during a NHL game?

No, let's wait until he's proven himself a NHL player before putting him in the line-up.

 

[Jojalu]

Time to start beating these bottom 5 teams on a regular basis.

I get every year that you will lose a game or 2 to struggling teams, but this sub to .500 record against them is brutal.
