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.

They'll need it. They'll let in a minimum of 2 or 3 probably.

They need to work on their team D and 1 of the goalies needs to start running with it.

Obviously they need another solid d man but that probably isn't happening for a bit still.

As a Canadian living in the UK it’s pretty awesome I get a 7pm game and spend it with my dad eating wings.

Enjoy!

One of my favourite memories is skipping school to watch the last game of the '72 Summit Series with my Dad.

(Don't recall what we ate, but we drank scotch!)

Looking forward to a game on normal time for us Europeans

I'm actually looking forward to the atmosphere in the arena. I'm guessing it will be about a half 'n half split between the fans of the teams.

Nothing better than that some good Gothenburg metal. The Great Deceiver is my fav track off the new album.

I think we'll see a continuation of the Vancouver game. The team is getting better with each passing game. It helps that Detroit and Minnesota are both awful, and both will be coming off game's the prior day, so I can see the Leafs cruising through both games. Nylander will probably dominate in both games.

You never can tell how the travel affects teams. Who has the advantage? Detroit by playing a game or the Leafs with the extra day of rest?
If it was played in NA I’d expect a close game between these two teams.

 

[ACC1224]

I expect the Leafs to look a little flat in this one.

 

[1specter]

I expect the Leafs to look a little flat in this one.

I hope not... Lord knows we've had enough flat starts this year.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Anyone else worried Willie coming back fat. He eating all them sugary Swedish treats LOL.

 

[wingman75]

I expect the Leafs to look a little flat in this one.

It might be on Willie to carry the team early in this one!

I would LOVE to see Mitchy get back to his old self and get on a roll.

At the end of the day... find a way to win. Doesn't have to be pretty for these next two games.

GAME DAY NEWS:

I genuinely feel bad for the person here

Rough start to his career as a Leaf aside, going home to play in a likely once in a lifetime game and he's sitting it out

 

[NastyKnies]

how many seats does the arena hold? Just curious.

While people gossip you aren't really injured

Let's hope so

I'd be surprised if anyone knows that off the top of their head.

good lord... its been so long since the last game....can't wait to watch this lmao

 

[SmoggyTwinkles]

I wonder what Swedish Leafs alumni will be in attendance?

Hope Sundin is there. Hogland? Who else?

Avicii Arena 13,850

It looks like a pretty serious arena after looking it up.

I think it's called Globen over there (looks like a globe)

No love for Renberg I see.

Pierre Hedin, who played 3 games for us back in 2003. Only NHL team he suited up for. A loyal Leafs till the end

Was really hoping not to see Samsonov.

Let’s get a W

Very disappointing that no one has posted a Swedish Chef episode yet.

Agree. Though it’s a given they’d split
