Pre-Game Talk: Utah HC @ Leafs, 7PM Sunday

[ACC1224]

Definitely feels like a loss today, doesn't it?

Seems many have the same thought. Was just about to say the same thing.

 

[Confucius]

The good thing about not playing Saturday, we play today and it’s not a back to back. GLG

Do we still have that insane losing record vs Arizona, will it carry over?
Edit: guess I was mistaken, I thought we hadn’t beaten them in 20 years, must have been in the other universe. lol!

 

[TheDoldrums]

Will the Nylanders play together on the ppl?

Alex is working on the second unit, but lately Willy has sometimes been staying on for the entire PP…

 

[Seath The Scaleless]

Even with a depleted lineup, this game shouldn't be close. Utah isn't great and they've played two games since our last one on Wednesday

 

[Gary Nylund]

I hate to say it, but the fact that so many people have doubts that the guys will show up to play tonight says that this is still not a serious team. There have definitely been some positive signs this season that things might be changing, but that Ottawa stinker says that they still have a long way to go.

If they show up ready to play and work hard, they should win without too much trouble. GLG!!

Only game on the schedule tomorrow.

Marlies reunited on the 3rd line

Call me crazy but I like that third line of Grebenkin-Minten-A. Nylander a lot more than the third lines we had prior to all the injures.

How does what fans think affect how the team plays? I expect we will see a very boring, simple 3-0 or 4-1 game for the Leafs tonight with very few high danger chances against and calm goaltending. The flashy, and flawed, stretch pass, cross-ice pass, neutral zone cheating stuff of past years is gone. The only game I see them losing in the next little while is next Saturday in Tampa.

Not crazy at all.

Definitely more of a chance to put the puck in the net. Minten is responsible for a young guy at C too.

I'm looking forward to seeing how they do.
