Exactly. Good post. Leaf fans focus on the bad shit sometimes way too much. They aren't perfect that's forsure but Leafs since that early 2-4-1 start ... they are 1st in a ton of important statistics... and the eye test agrees. I don't like every guy on the team *cough holl* but let's enjoy it. Looking forward to this one. Go Leafs Go

Only reason I'm worried is because they have *not* met the eye test in the two games since the mini-break. They've been sloppy and rusty and the Avs seem to be running on all 8. Not dumping on the team but this will be a giant challenge IMO.

Ritchie, Simmonds and Clifford all in

one out of the three I can live with, heck maybe even two of them, but all three may be a disaster seeing as the Avs are pretty much icing their real line-up

I've cooled off on Marner in terms of needing to get rid of him right away but I am happy that the narrative of the team has been uncoupled from the 'Mitch Marner come up story' as one of our two big dogs. If he's in a role like Phil Kessel in Pittsburgh I have no problem with it, but agreed it makes life after Marner plausible if Leafs management envisions something radically different.

I love what Mitch brings although he's been off lately. The off-season may find him a new home as something needs to be done in regard to the cap situation. Of the players they might make available you'd have to think that you can add Ritchie(buy-out saves Leafs 1.1m), Mrazek(3.8)and Muzzin(5.625)

We all know that Campbell will want some real bread and probably 4 - 5 years. Mikheyev has had some rough patches, mostly injury related, but he's showed when he's going he really belongs in the the top 12 and maybe even the top 6. He's a player I don't think they want to lose, same can be said for Kase who is still an RFA thankfully.

I think when the games matter in the spring, Simmonds & Clifford should both be in. As for tonight, all 3 and no Marner & Kase might be a tough rough. But good teams find a way. We need to show we're a good team here tonight.
Side note, after being waiver...if Ritchie doesn't have his best game of the year here in line 3....it's a lost cause

Agreed. Obviously we’re in a tough spot with Marner, Kase and Engvall all out, but that’s a rough lineup. I would prefer to sit Clifford (or maybe Ritchie) in favour of Ho-Sang, Steeves or Joey Anderson. That Clifford/Seney/Simmonds 4th line looks terrible.

It's difficult to get up for games with zero fans, cloud of uncertainty of when you will play at home again. Not excuses, but still a reality.

24 days now and this is only their 3rd game. I am hoping for an honest effort and am not concerned with the results.

Seney bring a decent skill level and lots of speed between those two big boys. Simmonds still moves around pretty good, and Clifford is actually a strong straight line skater. In their 8-10mins of ice time, I think they'll actually be quite respectable tonight and hopefully create some energy

got a text from my grandma and I'm going to watch the game with her, something like 13-2 watching the game together.

PSA: spend time with your grandmas guys. I always remind my grandma to enjoy her final years and to stay away from the light.
