[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

-53? Must have taken two weeks for you to thaw.

Kaprizov is out for 4 weeks. Knies fell awkwardly vs CBJ. I believe LBI.

How does one learn this wizardry of picking superstar Russians in the 5th round?

 

[ToneDog]

is it long term with knies

I believe he is day to day.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I believe he is day to day.

on the surface thats a positive but Stloarz and Matthews were day to day originally too, Matthews was out 3 weeks and Stolarz is, whatever Stolarz is,

He's got to be getting close but he's been out a month or more

Stolarz is skating and might get a game before the 4 Nations Faceoff. And yes, was going to say day to day means week to week when it comes to these Leafs.

Where do you live?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Where do you live?

I'm in Alberta I missed the last 5 games it was wild, -53 is a different level of cold to knock out my internet and cable for 2 weeks it has to be cold

I stayed in the apartment, I'm not going out in -53 f*** that

nothing that I need to do is that important that it needs to be done in -53

Up north no doubt.
I'm thinking of moving to Alberta within the next two years.

Just have to convince the wife

don't bring up -53, that won't help your case,

 

[Evilhomer]

don't bring up -53, that won't help your case,

Yeah, at that kind of number I'm not sure what you do other than stay inside and hope for the best.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Yeah, at that kind of number I'm not sure what you do other than stay inside and hope for the best.

thats what I did

 

[Evilhomer]

thats what I did

I would have also considered...moving.

 

[CelticDruid]

Penticton would be hard to leave but the province is in free fall.

Another year or two and she will change her mind.

Destination southern Alberta.

 

[Evilhomer]

Remember when Minnesota started the season as one of the best teams in the league? Yeah, neither do they.

I grew up in Lethbridge in the 80s. -40 was a regular event. You tend to remember that when you had a paper route. The good news is it never lasted long because of chinooks.

Ball cracking weather.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Both teams with identical records 62 points in 50 games. Though fortunately we're leading our division while they're a distant 3rd in their division.

Should be another snoozer. Hopefully we can get a win.

Losing Kaprizov really hurt them.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It sucks that Kaprizov is out, Matthews VS Kaprizov is always fun.

That being said if you are the Leafs you need to take advantage of thatnot allow any soft ones.

I

Matthews, Marner and Nylander need to go off and Woll needs to to not allow any soft ones.

I know that Toronto is missing Tavares and Knies themselves but I feel like between Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Mcmann and Domi there SHOULD be enough offense to beat the Wild espically without Kaprizov

One of these things is not like the others.

They are tied with the team you predicted will win the cup.

GAMEDAY: Maple Leafs aren't taking Wild, without Kirill Kaprizov, for granted

The Maple Leafs and Wild meet the second and last time this season after Minnesota beat Toronto 2-1 in overtime on Nov. 3 in St. Paul.

torontosun.com

After winning four in a row from Dec. 31 to Jan. 7, the Wild has lost six of its past nine games, all in regulation. The challenge to get back to consistently winning will rise with the news on Tuesday that star winger Kirill Kaprizov will have surgery for a lower-body injury and will be out on a week-to-week basis … In the previous 20 meetings between the Wild and Maple Leafs, Minnesota has the edge with a record of 11-7-2, including a 2-1 win in overtime at St. Paul on Nov. 2, the only other clash this season … The Wild is 7-5-1 in games without Kaprizov in 2024-25. He has a team-high 52 points in 37 games, though this latest absence is bound to take him out of consideration for the Hart Trophy … There’s a good chance Leafs captain Auston Matthews will tie, if not pass, Darryl Sittler for second-most goals in team history. Matthews’ 388 goals has him one behind the 389 Sittler scored for Toronto, and Matthews has played in 247 fewer games. We like Matthews’ chances to score on Wednesday, as he has 11 goals in 13 career games versus the Wild … Minnesota has among the worst penalty-killing units in the NHL, sitting 30th before games on Tuesday at 70.2%. Only Detroit (69.6%) and the New York Islanders (68.3%) were below the Wild … After Wednesday, the Leafs won’t play at home again until Feb. 22 against Carolina. On Thursday, they head west for a four-game trip starting on Saturday in Edmonton and will then enjoy the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off. After the game against the Hurricanes, they will have another four-game trip from Feb. 23-March 2.
