That's what I thought as well. Hope we still do, hard to keep up these days though.
I didn't even know we were playing the Edmonton game until the score app notified me. No idea what the schedules looking like rn, but just excited there's gonna be a game. Any update on Marner yet ? Still in covid protocol ?

I have no idea about Marner. I do try to check the schedule at the start of every week to make sure I don't miss anything. So I know we have Vegas first, then AZ and then I'm pretty sure we play Saturday though I can't remember who our opponent is ATM. But whatever, Vegas is the one I'm really looking forward to.

Matty gonna lay a beating on Zona unless he feels sorry for them, in which case he'll leave it up to JT and Willie.

I suppose someone should have created a thread prior to me creating a thread for the Arizona game, and I see it confused some. That being said, there was news for our game this week, so it should be shared.

If he doesn't he should ask for a trade. Fricken ridiculous that he's not in the lineup.

Now THAT'S gangsta.
Also imagine how THUG we gon come out against these fools, when we was already that gangsta against the vegas knights yesterday. The math is unreal.
I'm assuming Marazek is playing tonight, if there was ever a game to get his confidence up this is it, it's Arizona
Key will be don’t let them gain any confidence, score a couple of quick goals and it should be lights out

Strangely enough, I didn’t feel that badly about the Leafs current state of game readiness after the Colorado loss but much worse after the Vegas win. Tonight could just be a real wild card and I’m just dreading the thought of the Yotes going hero mode. Let’s get the Matthews hometown hat trick and Mrazek a W.

Two games in a row with multiple-goal blown leads in the 3rd. We've been MUCH better at locking down all season to this point - I'd really like to see that not happen for the next ~10 games. If it does, well we have ourselves a trend (again).
From the Arizona Republic last evening concerning the game with the Leafs tonight:
Arizona Sports 97.3 FM reported last night as follows:
The Arizona Coyotes assigned defensemen Victor Soderstrom, Vladislav Kolyachonok and goaltender Ivan Prosvetov to the taxi squad on Tuesday.
The move comes a day after Arizona placed its head coach, Andre Tourigny, goaltending coach, Corey Schwab, and four players on the COVID-19 list. Three of the four are defensemen Jakob Chychrun, Cam Dineen and Anton Stralman, the other being goaltender Scott Wedgewood.
With a long break in action, the games lately have felt a little bit like pre-season exhibition games. The players have not been crisp, have have mental lapses and have run out of gas early in the games. Despite that, they are definitely clicking at times – especially Kase and Bunting who look ever so happy playing with Matthews – and they actually look like they're having some fun playing hockey.
I agree with another poster that having a back-to-back against Arizona might be just what the Leafs need to stretch it out and find their legs. They haven't had a lot of games lately; they should be in a good frame of mind having just taken three of four points from two of the top three teams in the Western Conference; and it should be "all systems go" for a triumphal return to Arizona for Auston Matthews and Michael Bunting against the injury depleted Coyotes, who were already the last-place team in the league.
The ice is so tilted in the Leafs' favour that it will be difficult for them to maintain their drive and focus for a full 60 minutes, so let's just hope for the best.
For the Coyotes, four defensemen are in the NHL's COVID-19 protocol. Goalie Scott Wedgewood is also in that group. The team will also be without head coach André Tourigny, goaltenders coach Corey Schwab and assistant coach Mario Duhamel on Wednesday, leaving only assistants Phil Housley and Cory Stillman to guide the team this week. ...
So it seems the Yotes will be without their head coach, three defenceman and a goaltender.
