Huge game tonight, really looking forward to it.

Will they go back to Stolarz or give Joe Woll the net?
5 games this week, it'll be interesting to see how they deploy the goalies.

Then back out west at the end of the month, what a brutal schedule they've been on.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Just don't blow it like they always do.

Just don't blow it like they always do.

Blow what?

Embarrassment and failure is this teams identity. They’re doing exactly what they’ve been doing for the past 8 years. Amazing that they haven’t learned a thing over all these years despite all the lessons.

 

[Leafs98]

Critical game to show what they have or don't have anymore. Sens will bring their best as always.

 

[HockeyVirus]

This is actually, legitimately, a must win game for this team. They put themselves into a position to win the division and have choked it. A regulation loss puts Ottawa in striking distance of our spot, meaning we are almost a wildcard team.. Mean we get the Panthers in round 1 as a WILDCARD TEAM

Who knows what version of this team will show up is anybody’s guess…….

 

[HockeyVirus]

Probably the version that is just too tired to string together 60 minutes of hockey. Such a hard life with such a tough schedule. Cut these guys some slack theres always next year right?

 

[kevsh]

Even with 2 new significant adds on the blueline in the off-season + Carlo at the deadline and a legit starting goalie in Stolarz, who until his struggles lately was putting up some of the best numbers in the league, this team has a worse GA than the Senators.

And despite all that defense/goaltending + having the most expensive forward group in world history, the Leafs are only up on Ottawa by 6 points,

So yes, tonight's game can legitimately go a long way to deciding which is the better hockey team in 2025. For those endlessly optimistic Leaf fans among you (clearly I'm not one of them), let that sink in.

 

[BallardEra]

Could be Sens and Leafs in the first round too. Leafs need the W tonight. Anything less and the concerns will be amplified.

Game hasn't even started and this place is absolutely toxic.

I can't imagine wanting to keep doing (watching) something that made me completely miserable.

It's certainly a lifestyle choice for some.

It’s like someone that can’t break free from an abuser. We all keep coming back for more. They will be lucky to win a round but people here still believe

Lol where? Where specifically in this early thread is this place getting too toxic?

Are you just that sensitive? Every single post of yours on this forum is just you whining that the fanbase doesn't post how you want them to. Go somewhere else already.

Maybe it's you who should stop posting here as it seems it makes you completely miserable.

And yet - this game kinda does seem like a defining game for this whole core. Outside of Playoff Game 1 in a few weeks, this game --> the upstart Sens complete with their own Tkachuk and a crazy string of impressive hockey - against our mentally feeble and always too tired and generally disinterested Maple Leafs. I'm going to this one tonight, and I'm honestly petrified by the potential outcome.

I wonder of the players feel the same way as you. They sure as hell did not vs Florida and that was a 4 point game for 1st place in the division.

I was more worried about Thursday and they showed up for that one. I expect a good showing tonight.

Defining game? It's a game against Ottawa in March. Win or lose, the outcome of this game will have no bearing on what happens in the playoffs.

Must win. I’d rather the Panthers win tonight, as well. TTOE is too close to the playoffs.

Last 5 games shows 1 single circus time shootout win.

Don't ever say that out loud again

This is a much different tone from you then your usual shtick of "Leafs will win this game than the next 10 and lock down the division."

Losing confidence in the team Evilhomer?

Just read the first few posts. Thanks.

No.

Only 6 points separate the Leafs and Sens in the standings.

Leafs better bring their A game for this one or the standings are going to get even more cloudy.
