GDT: Leafs vs Wings: Friday in Sweden 2pm [TSN4]

[LeafSteel]

I wonder if most Swedes will be Detroit or Toronto fans?
My guess is Detroit, but who knows. Sundin was fantastic when playing for Sweden. I found Leafs through Sundin. Might be 50-50. Maby the white and blue feels to close to the Finnish flag that some Swedes instinctly shy back like vampires watching the sunrise . In my case i just try not to think about that. If someone are in need to change colors its Finland!

I have several Swedish friends, who are Leafs fans from the Salming days, peace be with him.

Salming brought a generation of Swedes to Leaf Nation, and they haven't left. Sundin just deepened the love.

Anyone know the name of the Arena they are playing in?

I'm lucky I have both Friday and Sunday off.

Gonna be kinda weird cracking a beer at 8am on Sunday lol, but I will!

And then Vegas Grand Prix is at 1am Sunday morning and I need to watch that spectacle as well.......

Looking forward to it actually. Sports at weird times and my days off line up perfectly! Woo!

Treat it like tailgating. Set up a tent in your back yard, grill something, and a have a few while watching the sunrise waiting for the game.

Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden

Avicii Arena, Stockholm, Sweden

I didn't know it was called Avicii arena, that's pretty cool. Avicii was a legend in the electronic music world, what he accomplished and contributed to the genre before the age of 30 was quite remarkable.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Think we get Alex Lyon. Husso is in NA with the wife expecting a baby and Reimer is starting today.

 

[DarkKnight]

Hasn’t it been confirmed already that they will be playing on a regular NHL size rink? As they should.

Did I miss something because could have swore someone on the team talked about the big ice?

 

[Suntouchable13]

Maybe I missed something then. If they make them play on big ice, then that's bush league. I don't like it at all.

They practised on big ice. The game will be on NHL ice. So, yes, you missed something.

 

[disgruntleddave]

I was kind of hoping to see a game on international ice for the weird factor, as well to see willy in his natural habitat lol.

Ahh. The players mentioned getting used to big ice, guess just talking about practice.

PA Day for me tomorrow at work so I’ll be catching the game right after interviews! Looking forward to destress and watching

It makes me sad every time I hear that arena referenced, I was so devastated when he died.

You and me both. I don't usually mourn celebrity deaths but that one hit me pretty hard as he was quite influential in getting me into the genre and cementing my love for EDM. Levels came out when I was in first year of university and it was the track of the year.

 

[TMLAM34]

Got the Wings on the back end of a back to back after a long plane ride. Boys better come out FIRING tomorrow.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Why is this in Sweden

 

[Jojalu]

Just decided that I will make a holiday out of tomorrow and ditch work.

 

[uncleben]

Do we know who's on the travel squad?

 

[leafsfan5]

Excited to have this on at work tomorrow

 

[PromisedLand]

Willy has a sweet tooth DAYUM he was downing those the entire video

 

[PromisedLand]

Tavares and Rielly have big potential to be future politicians

 

[WillyC]

It’s a guarantee Willy extends his point streak tomorrow… no possible way he doesn’t put points on the board.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm really looking forward to the 2 PM game time. Perfect way to welcome the early weekend.

It doesn't hurt that Detroit is atrocious defensively and in net. It would be shocking if the Leafs don't put up 5 or 6 goals in this game.

Seeing Reaves in the lineup pains me. Did Kampf get hurt Saturday, or maybe just a day off?

If he doesn't bring it this time .
It could be along time before he gets back in.

 

[horner]

The Leafs could be sleeping in the 1st period .
Long layoff
