Pre-Game Talk: Sunday guaranteed: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Vancouver Canucks

[wingman75]

Not a chance they give up on Campbell that quickly, nor should they.

Not really about giving up, just going with the hotter hand to get out of this funk. Will need Jack down the stretch here no doubt.

 

[CanadasTeam]

21 tested positive. Only Brock and JT we're spared. Horvat, Hughes, Sutter and one goalie had the worst of it.
Horvat looked like a down addicted Zombie, if was that bad I'm anxious to see Quinn since he got hit the hardest.
But no excuses Leafs struggle against the boring teams so they need to trap and clog up the middle. Hopefully, AM is out and Cambell continues to struggle to ad least make it close lol.

It's sad to hear, I wish them a quick and full recovery.

Apparently people have no idea what the definition of “must win” is

 

[peconcan]

Is matthews and Nylander back tonite?

Is matthews and Nylander back tonite?

Nylander should be for sure, Matthews we'll find out.

Just to save you some disappointment, the game is tomorrow (Sunday).

 

[Legion34]

Did they skate today?

Nylander should be for sure, Matthews we'll find out.

Oh thanks I didn’t know that it shows up on my TV for tonight, was it postponed or did Bell just mess up with the time?

 

[Brown Dog]

Does anyone know for sure when Foligno is eligible to play?

 

[peconcan]

Does anyone know for sure when Foligno is eligible to play?

Should be tomorrow if he left Columbus right when he was traded. He may have stayed until Monday though which would mean Monday

Yes, NHL pushed the Canucks re-start back by 2 days (Friday to Sunday). As such the Leafs had some games affected:

 

[peconcan]

Galchenyuk Matthews Marner
Robertson Tavares Nylander
Foligno Kerfoot Hyman
Thornton Spezza Simmonds
Wouldn’t mind seeing these lines tomorrow if everyone is healthy and able to play

He was supposed to be available for the Wednesday game in Winnipeg (which is now Thursday). Leafs gave him a couple days with his family.

 

[Pinto]

Does anyone know for sure when Foligno is eligible to play?

I don’t think he left until Tuesday (Maybe even Wednesday?). The trade was Sunday night and I think I remember someone saying they gave him Monday to get his affairs in order before he came.

I think he will play on Thursday in WPG.

Robby in the top 6 is pretty awesome and very well deserved

 

[robertmac43]

Wow that top 6 is exciting.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Robby in the top 6 is pretty awesome and very well deserved

@Teeder Keon is gonna be delighted when he reads this lineup!

 

[Menzinger]

Nice to have Nylander and Matthews' both back in the lineup.

Will be doubly excited if Robertson starts the game in the top 6

 

[Not My Tempo]

Does anyone know for sure when Foligno is eligible to play?

We traded for him on Sunday night, assuming he started quarantine Monday night/Tuesday morning, he should be able to go for our next Winnipeg game.

 

[Leaftors]

Robby in the top 6 is pretty awesome and very well deserved

Unfortunately, you have to think that when Foligno gets here Robertson will be out and Foligno will be in his place.

 

[Bluelines]

Leafs were seen entering Rogers Arena...

 

[stickty111]

Robby in the top 6 is pretty awesome and very well deserved

Finally some good lines. He also stacked the PP unit. He shouldn't touch it now.

Why it took so long to go back to it?
Whether it's Manny changing or Keefe taking control, it needs to stay like this.

 

[Legion34]

Why are we burning a year of Robby? Makes no sense.

 

[zeke]

Thank God that #1 unit is back.

And they better stay together even if they don't hit off right away.

As for the lines....huge and exciting chance for Robertson. He's been legit good the last 2gms and deserves this.

I don't think Spezza will work out at center, but I don't mind Engvall getting a kick in the pants either. It's also a bit of a Last Chance thing for the old guys....when Foligno enters the picture even benching Engvall won't save all of them.
