Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Wings

[Mattfan02]

I would like some Wings

 

[stickty111]

Same D pairs it looks like. Muzzin still in red

 

[123offtheglass]

I liked the Sandin-Holl pair, hopefully they can keep it going

 

[ACC1224]

Guessing Campbell gets the net?

 

[Cams]

As a Leafs fan in Windsor - I love beating the Wings!!!!

 

[X66]

Guessing Campbell gets the net?

Probably Mrazek, former team treatment.

 

[ACC1224]

Good call. Guess we'll hear for sure at some point today.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

I'd go

Mrazek Saturday
Campbell Monday
Mrazek Tuesday

 

[zeke]

I'd go

Mrazek Saturday
Campbell Monday
Mrazek Tuesday

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's exactly what they've had planned for a bit now.

The more interesting question will be seeing which goalie gets the start post all-star vs fellow elite team Carolina. Do we go with Jack or do we let Mraz face his old team?

 

[PROUD PAPA]

I wonder if we'll face Ned. Hawks lit him up in the last game but I've seen him have some very strong games for the Wings and we seem to bring out the best in opponents goalies.

 

[stickty111]

Translation: I don't know why I got a penalty

Hopefully they use him against PIT tonight.

When Mike Babcock was coach of the Red Wings they made the playoffs 12 consecutive years and won a Stanley Cup and since his departure the Wings have made the playoffs only once and missed them 5 consecutive years and likely heading for 6 straight this year.

This has been a long process for Detroit to return to the playoffs and their Cup contending years, and Leafs shouldn't have too much trouble securing a victory in this one.

Mrazek gets the net according to Nylander.

@lukefox


Petr Mrazek starts Saturday.
Jack Campbell starts Monday.
Petr Mrazek starts Tuesday.

we lost to Arizona. I never assume a win with this team lol

 

[ShaneFalco]

This is a situation the team f***s up in

 

[Fogelhund]

@lukefox

Jake Muzzin will not travel with Leafs to Detroit.

 

[1specter]

Just win, no excuses. Panthers and Lightning can't seem to lose and Bruins have been on the Leafs tail so need to keep pace

 

[al secord]

Call Detroit. Tell them bullshit!

 

[DraftSchmaft]

Big matchup. Might just be the biggest game of the season so far. Make or break 2 points on the line according to the guy who said Wings are a threat to knock us out the playoffs Lose this one and it's time to sell.

People should clean up their diets from now, because we might be looking at three game 7 series in a row to get to the cup finals. Coin flip every game for who will win. Get your heart strength up.

 

[TheDoldrums]

With Campbell slowing down there's no reason we shouldn't be running a fairly even platoon, which I think was always the plan before Mrazek kept getting hurt and Jack was in the Vezina conversation.

 

[supermann_98]

I always enjoyed games vs Detroit as the jerseys contrasted so nicely on TV (Blue/white) vs (Red/white). Also ... very fond memories of Clark and Gilmour and Potvin and a Nik Borshevsky deflected shot to knock out Yzerman and co. back in '92

Blue vs Red
Crips vs Bloods
PC vs Liberals
Republicans vs Democrats
Cookie Monster vs Elmo

GLG!
