GDT: Leafs vs Red Wings: TVAS TSN4, 7pm - Last Home Game. No Injuries Please.

[willmma]

Taking the liberty to create the pre-game thread, to end the season, with all due respect to BwO

Looking for an injury free game, plus 2 Tavares goals and 5 Willy goals.

​

Let's go Leafs!

 

[leafsfan5]

Pontus Holmberg, enjoy 20 minutes of ice time brother

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Let’s just forfeit and give everyone their money back.

 

[Suntouchable13]

The salary cap is one of the dumbest things in the world. I hate it.

 

[mydnyte]

Keep your head up with Seider.

 

[Tak7]

I need Nick Robertson and Scott Laughton and Steven Lorentz all to be at the 18-20 minute mark tonight.

Wrap everyone else up in bubble wrap. Tavares can pull a Cam York and be a cheerleader.

 

[MSZ]

plus 2 Tavares goals and 5 Willy goals.

​

Unless it is empty net situations, don't even bother. They all need to be healthy for the playoff run.

 

[1specter]

Load up JT and Knies for Power Plays, otherwise give them minimal minutes. AM/Nylander/Marner goes without saying.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Will the whole group be playing due to cap issues? I have Marner, Tavares and Knies in my fantasy league.. fighting for the title and out of adds for the week, so trying to figure out if we see this lovely trio tomorrow.

 

[wingman75]

Really wish we had the cap space like some other teams to rest most of our core. C'est la vie. So we do the best with our situation. Lines should be 3-4-2-1. 2nd PP to start.

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

What do you do? They need rest and they need to avoid injuries. Everyone's saying just limit the minutes of the stars but the bottom players are important too. Too bad there's no way to call up like 20 Marlies. I'm guessing they mail this one in completely.

Yeah they will likely be in, the only possibility is Kampf is healthy and they run him instead of a forward (maybe Tavares out? Or Matthews). Or maybe OEL returns and they go 11/7. But there's no way for all 3 to sit and it's likely they'll all play

Also finals this week is insane, so glad my league ended before this

Sweet thanks! Ya first time with finals during the final week of the season and it's dumb basically get punished for drafting good players on good teams..

 

[budzz]

We should still go for the win as it may affect home ice in the finals.

 

[LeafSteel]

Can’t the trainer slip everyone Ex Lax the night before and call the game due to everyone having the hershey squirts?

Asking for a friend……

 

[glue]

While I keep hearing about cap concerns not allowing us to rest anyone, is this confirmed? We can’t rest any of our players or just the high cap hit players in our core 4?

 

[The Shadow]

Too bad we can’t call up some young guys and watch them

 

[Al14]

The salary cap is one of the dumbest things in the world. I hate it.

And, our Leafs HAVE to PAY into the NHL revenue sharing fund !!!

I hate BOTH !!!

Dunno if it's still like this but when I was a little kid in the 70s, they made Ex Lax look like a chocolate bar and my older brother gave it to me and I ate the whole thing. I told my parents my stomach hurt and asked if I could sleep with them. You don't want any more details, trust me.

They don't have the cap / roster limit to not dress everyone. All their other guys are injured right now.

Also - your fantasy league should have ended 2 weeks ago. Feel free to fire your commissioner once the season is over.

 

[ToneDog]

God bless the fans paying money to see this one.

 

[Jacquestrapless]

1st pairing D-man Philip Myers

 

[The Hanging Jowl]

God bless the fans paying money to see this one.

Let's be honest, every one of them paid their money long ago. I bet more than half the building will be people that were gifted tickets.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Keep your head up with Seider.

Wish we had someone like that.

 

[TMLAM34]

Excited to watch Lorentz - Laughton - Jarnkrok rack up 20 minutes of ice time! Maybe throw in Benoit and Myers in that range too while we’re at it!
