GDT: Maple Leafs @ Oilers || 8PM EST

[The Iceman]

Thought of Campbell last weekend...got take-out from Red Lobster for the 1st time in ages. MMMMmmmm those cheese biscuts.

 

[rdogg]

Is that sieve Campbell playing tonight? I sure hope so

 

[HLLYWD99]

Lafferty scores in his debut!

 

[Da Cool Rula]

Vancouver must have no gumption because its a 7pm est. game lmao!

Thats a Saturday though. Always been the case.

Lost in all the hype about our new players, we have a big chance here to extend our lead for 2nd place in the Atlantic to 6 points

Tampa is currently 4 points behind with 0 games in hand

Tampa is something crazy like 14-1-2 in their last several home games. To me, getting home ice advantage is just as important as the new additions

Honestly, I'm almost more concerned about injuries at this point. Facing Tampa is pretty much a lock. Home ice would for sure be nice. Edmonton plays a very dirty game with no control for their sticks and a short temper. Let's just see the boys get out healthy.

That third line looks completely abysmal in every sense of the word imaginable.

It sucks that Kerfoot and Justin Holl still remain in this lineup after five trades in the past few weeks.

I am in the minority but i have no problem at all with kerfoot. He is the team’s utility knife. He is fine in that role.

I don't mind him either.

I'm just not making idiotic accommodations like waiving a 24 year old Dman who is finally healthy and on the track to developing into a top-4 with 13 p in 22 games to do it.

On the flip side, being a 'utility knife' is another way of saying he doesn't have a defined role and fits awkwardly on the team IMO. Not skilled enough to be a regular top six forward, not gritty enough to be an impactful third line winger and not smart enough or big enough to play C with any regularity. It feels like he's a prototype / base model version of what a good player should be and is underdeveloped on some key features that would set him apart and give him a defined role.

And we can't wait to light this sieve up!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Looks like Schenn is getting his #2 back and McCabe will be 22.

If we keep him it’s just injury insurance. We don’t need it as much anymore but it was nice to have a guy who can do a bad impression of Tavares for 6 games instead of playing Kampf at 2C.

What did I miss? Timmins was waived?

That's the thing with Kerfoot, he just isn't really enough of anything to have a place on the team. He's kind of just there.

What did I miss? Timmins was waived?

No, he was not

[9Iron]

This has to be the most anticipated regular season game in the last 5 years at least. Playing the LOiLers is just a bonus.

 

[Rude Dog]

It is a great example of why Soup is so well liked. Can’t use that tweet as bulletin board material.

Have a hard time not cheering for that guy. Really wish they were facing Skinner.

 

[DarkKnight]

I think we play really well tonight, boys should be psyched.

 

[kb]

What did I miss? Timmins was waived?

No, but it was suggested elsewhere that if roster space was required they should waive Timmins. Apparently, I overvalue scrubs like Timmins and also have no idea how much more important pending UFA Kerfoot is than him.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

Love the comment yall. Schenn getting back his old number as the older player is that realdirt too sire that that hard shit.

 

[Nhlpowerweek]

I have felt and sensed that campbell might be God fearing human being and very sensitive, so I hope him well too. Always. But tonight and all this season is OUR time. To shine like a saltshaker. On the spotlight. Dubber has given us the chance of a lifetime. Since the sundin tucker belfour quinn conference finals days we aint have dat. Now we are the destroyers. The hardest team in the WORLD.

If I was good with adding gifs or whatever they’re called, I would put up one of Dave Chappelle as Rick James. My caption would be:

“It’s a celebraschenn”, “enjoy yourself”
