GDT: (TOR vs TB) - TML vs Norfolk-Bay AdmiraLightning Crunch (7:00PM, TSN)

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

The Isles are scaring me now. Only 1 point back. The Leafs need a big win here.

They'll fall flat on their face soon enough. They're 7-0-3 in their last 10 games and we all know they're not a team that can support that record for long stretches at a time.

god i hope so, i have a buddy who is an isles fan, would enjoy seeing them get swept.

 

[PuckMagi]

any idea who is playing tonight and what the lines are going to be?

 

[Leafsfan83]

Nice GDT! The images of the 'plugs' made me laugh.

Go Leafs Go!

 

[PuckMagi]

I really want to see Frattin play.

I think he's better than Hamilton, Komorov and possibly MacA and Grabo lately and obviously better than the enforcers. Though I still love Komorov and the roll he plays. But i'd rather have Frattin over Komorov playing on the top 3 lines because Frattin can score goals.

Komorov is better in a shut-down roll than Frattin... but if we're looking for line-mates for Grabo/Kadri, i'd rather Frattin.

Lupul - Kadri - Frattin could be a great scoring line.

Komorov-McClement-Kulemin could be a great shutdown line.

MacA - Grabo - _____ wouldn't be the worst 4th line either.

Hilarious GDT
Big win needed

no way he brings more to the table then komarov.

 

[FlareKnight]

Just hope they can keep on winning. Still have things to aim for like home ice and keeping the Islanders in the rear-view mirror.

Had some days for the banged up guys to rest a bit and now time to get back to it.

 

[CanadasTeam]

nice GDT -- kudos for your effort!

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

Yeah, I think Komarov's undervalued by some, he doesn't score but is pivotal in pressurizing the opposition in their own end and is pretty good in our end too. He and McClem have been absolutely integral cogs.

[Asif16*]

There is no point in having two heavyweights in the lineup today, so with that being said predict that mcalren sits for frattin. Orr and fraser can take care of crombeen....and who ever the **** they got.

We have a bingo.

Play McLaren or Orr. But rover one of the top 9 wingers in for most of the game ( on the Mac-Grabo line)- while having the muscle ready on the bench to sub in when needed.


I wish we iced a playoff ready lineup like this one. the McClement line has so much potential to shut down any line! We have enough size to not worry about both Orr and McLaren (we can have one on the bench to keep things fair)

 

[Leafidelity]

LETS GO BOYS!

 

[Suntouchable13]

The Leafs need to show tonight why they are a playoff team and Tampa is headed towards the lottery.

 

[pucci2001]

Hoping for a good game but preparing for a stinker. All those young guys with two days off in Florida after clinching?

You saw the Kadri golfing picture and Bozak fishing picture too huh? I am worried the boys are on vacation now that they made it. Hopefully they have the maturity to keep pushing and hopefully play better than they have been the last couple weeks.

 

[Grant]

Lindback in the OP made me chuckle

 

[sommervr]

Komorov is the best defensive forward on the team. It is not even close:

This may come as a surprise to some.

They got put through a couple tough practices. I have confidence that Randy Carlyle has kept them on their toes, and is keeping his foot on the gas pedal.

Grabovski on the wing? Is that confirmed? Would have loved to see it for a stretch of games earlier on in the season

i'll be there to cheer on my leafs! can't wait!

Go Leafs Go!

Jay McClement says hi.

 

[Leafidelity]

Jay McClement says hi.

Yeah I think this is a case where stats fail him. McClement is far and away the best defensive player on the Leafs. He's been one of the best in the league.

Isn't it funny how much flack the team caught for this free agent signing- as though a total nothing move- and now he is unquestionably a core key piece that has lead to our success. He is without question the best PK guy we've had in a decade, and makes so many great outlet plays, defensive stops.
