Why is that a bad opponent? Last game against Minny was very entertaining

Where the teams are right now, Minny and the Leafs has that Monday night in Febuary feel. Which it may actuall be better to get it out of the way on a Sunday at 7 am.

The schedule was made months ago. Where they are now has no bearing on any of it.

If you drive you could change your username to Chunnel Schenn. This is cool for you. Have a great trip.

That's awesome! Hope you have a great time.
As soon as these games were announced I looked at flights to Sweden but sadly it was a bit too much money from Toronto as I am saving for a trip to New Zealand and Fiji in March/April. I've been to Stockholm once and would have loved to go to the games.

Prediction. Willy scores 4 goals and Abba's "Take a Chance on Me" becomes the Leafs new goal song.

“The first couple of days will be tough, but we’re pretty much going to go from the plane to practice, with a quick stop at the hotel for lunch to help try and keep everybody awake. Then get on Stockholm time (six hours ahead of Eastern) and go from there.” Keefe - Hornby
No matter what I do after a multi time zone trip, I’m always messed up for days. Hopefully as pro athletes with a health science team tracking their sleep, food, activities will have a greater effect than my “stay up, eat, drink as much as I can until I pass out” technique.

EDIT - Looks like they arrived this morning judging by the pics on the Leafs Instagram.

Just line Willy up on the D, win a draw back to him and let Nylander skate with it until he scores a goal no?

Good luck stopping Nylander on a olympics size ice surface especially with the way he's currently playing.
You'd think our core would really thrive with more time and space.

Like the Olympics the wider ice helps teams keep players further from the net.
Part of why Olympic games can be so boring

That is true but it also gives players more room in the neutral zone to burst past defenders and doesn't allow them too as easily cut off plays by just angling someone towards the boards.

What we do in hockey echoes in eternity...
This reminds me of a preseason trip to Sweden the Leafs made about 20 years ago to play against 3 of their domestic clubs.

I am pretty sure they will change to NHL size. Otherwise, it is pretty bush-league to make these teams play 2 REGULAR SEASON games on Olympic ice all of a sudden. Makes no sense. I am sure it will be made to NHL size.
