Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Flyers

[kb]

Here is a nugget that twitter just informed me.

Matthews and Bunting have the same birthdays. No wonder that line is clicking

Almost freaked when I saw Knies birthday. Had me double checking. But he's October, not September.

Ok, went to the lcbo to get some whiskey and these socks were attached to the Crown Royale Black. If you look up definition of No Brainer in the dictionary this is it

Hahahaha.....that's a sign.

Throwing Abruzzese on the leafs before he sees any time on the marlies shows how much faith they have in this kid.

Actually they can't sent him down. He's not eligible to play there.

Of what tho??? I am wearing my Matthews shirt tonigh with the socks. Go leafs go

"Jack Campbell revealed to reporters that he injured his rib in Columbus on Feb. 22. (read down to point #5)

The goaltender started three more games afterward, giving up 14 goals. He got pulled in one of them and posted save percentages of .800, .821 and .867 in those outings."

Jack says it's no excuse, he should be able to play though some pain.

For the record the next game he played was that 10-7 win over Detroit. He looked atrocious in that game and was the first time I noticed him being "not right", although he wasn't great in his recent starts before the injury either.

Hopefully his mind and body are ready for a great run.

 

[Torontonian]

Here's hoping this time off, Campbell has had time to clear his head and restart for the stretch drive of the season, need him to get going and give us some stable goaltending.

Come on Jack

Old enough. He’s also has significantly more tenure then you.

lol. looked. One day less actually, unless you think he's Mr Scarface. Gave me a good chuckle. Thanks

 

[danron1376]

unfortunately we tend to play down to the opposition and it's jack's first game back, but I think we'll win. 5-3 Leafs.

 

[Griffin76]

I'm thinking Campbell will have a good game tonight. I think he'll let in a soft one in the first 5 minutes, there will be an absolute meltdown in this forum till the end of the 1st period but then he shuts the door the rest of the way.

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Don't think we play down to the opponent tonight. The team has been physical and responsible defensively, just need Jack to come back and be steady and we should take this.

He seems to be modelling his game based on Auston. If Knies can do that watch out !!!

 

[Golden_Jet]

Florida is having a bad time playing NJ today losing 6-2. Given this core's history when they played bottom feeders, this won't be easy.

Florida ends up winning 7-6.

 

[SoftDumpNtheCorner88]

When he means he watched him when he was really little, doesn't he mean like 5 years ago or something? He's be 14, unless he followed him coming up?

Geez forget how young these guys are

Future 50 goal scorer confirmed!

 

[Tarmore]

Leafs will lose this but somehow beat Florida and Tampa this week

I would be ok with that

 

[cannucky]

They played him enough to get him the record, which is more than he deserved. He was a terrible player for them, and is hardly comparable to a guy like Giroux

He was there to be the locker room guy for the young guns not the stud superstar , and at this point they are done for the year , in fact the GM stated the reason they were scratching him is because their season is toast so they want to play some kids to see what they have . Thats exactly the reason he is there to begin with and if you are bailing on your season why not add to the culture instead of taking away ? Like I said a classless move ....

PS playing Giroux the night before they handed him a plane ticket on an already done deal was a little sus but the ceremony added to the culture so was a smart move .

 

[BertCorbeau]

Abruzzese-Spezza-Blackwell could be fun

yes, if you could just mimic 50 goal seasons, thank you very much Mr. Knies.
On a serious note, you can see similarities in the way he strips guys of pucks heads with the stick and then angles them off) and his toe drag shot are similar.
