Should be a good one.

Should be a good one.

I think this will be a high scoring game. The Leafs always seem to score a lot at MSG.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Supposedly Adam Fox is out tonight

 

[Suntouchable13]

Of course, the man was born on injured reserve.

 

[Dekes For Days]

Pacioretty doesn't even play and he gets injured.

But don't worry everybody! He played just enough games to get his full 626k bonus to screw us on the cap next year!

 

[DarkKnight]

What a lid.

Who cares. Dubas screwed us on the cap and the entire farm team system for years with NuHockey.

Least of our worries

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Really wish the Tavares-Nylander duo would be split. It’s been awful.

 

[leafsfan5]

Florida and Tampa don't seem to lose since coming back from the break

We need to keep picking up points

 

[leafsfan5]

WAIT WHY THE f*** IS REAVES BACK IN THE LINEUP

 

[Dekes For Days]

And now Steeves out for Reaves. Good lord.

 

[leafsfan5]

And now Steeves out for Reaves. Good lord.

4th line looks competent for a couple games and we get the best depth scoring we've gotten all season

So of course Berube changes it up to bring in one of the worst forwards in the league

 

[OVO16]

Reaves is solely for Matt Rempe.

Rempe has already been suspended once this season. Dude is on a rampage. He's a menace. I can see why Reaves is in the lineup.

Last thing I want is Rempe to injure one of our main guys

He can still injure someone whether Reaves is playing or not

 

[REALTALK81]

Feels like a tough one. Rangers should be up for this given their place in the standings. Leafs need all of their A game for this considering their injuries. Leafs need to goalie this one to win IMO

 

[Guided by Veseys]

He can fight Reaves and have his TOI get reduced by maybe 25% or more. That’s 25% less time of him flying around and crushing guys in the head. He hurts players by being massive and kinda reckless. The less time he is on the ice against our more capable players tge better.

Uh, Florida lost its frst game back against Seattle.

 

[shaner8989]

Rempe will end Reaves tonight and hopefully that’s the end of him as a leaf. Useless

Stolarz over Woll is wrong imo. Stolarz was shit last game and it’s Wolls turn. Woll getting f***ed

Where do you put holmberg?

Odds are Rempe never sees the ice against our capable players

Stolarz over Woll is wrong imo. Stolarz was shit last game and it’s Wolls turn. Woll getting f***ed

Lool what? Stolarz is our number 1 n woll has more starts on the season doesn’t he ?

 

[LivingRentFree]

Stolarz>>> Woll

Rangers are still a dangerous team to handle defensively because they got offensive weapons like Kreider/panarin/jt miller/lafreniere/Adam fox/k’andre miller.

This core of players on the rangers made Two eastern conference finals in three seasons, and last year they won the president trophy. If they make some good trades at the deadline, they might get back on track.

People are wondering why Reaves will play tonight instead of Steeves. Because annoying ass rempe is in the house. Berube thinks tonight’s game will be more physical than usual. And Neutralizing him will be His mission.

And Don’t let their present position in the standings fool you, they’re still a tough team to beat with great goaltending. When he’s on God mode, Igor Shesterkin might be the best goaltender in the league.

We could face them in round 1 too. Very possible as they are only 2 wins and 4 points away from a wildcard playoff spot.

Leafs shouldn’t take this team and this game for granted.
