Columbus is 12-5-1 in its last 18 games and has more regulation/OT wins and a better goal differential than Leafs. Can't take them lightly.

Didn`t realize they had been doing that well recently.

Yeah, they really turned it on when Horton returned (20 games). That stretch also coincides with Bobrovsky coming back from his injury and turning his season around (.924 SA% in 16 games). And now they have Gaborik back too.
 
I assumed taking a game lightly was a pretty common knowledge term around sports fans.  For example, my local OHL team had two games this weekend - the first, against a team 10 points back of a playoff spot, and the next day against the #2 ranked team in the country who they had lost 3 previous very close games to.  The coach spoke before the game of making sure the team was up for the first game and not looking past it in anticipation of the 2nd game, likely to be a much more passionate game.

As it turned out, that 1st game had no energy, was sloppy and they barely scraped out a win.
 
I just hope they play better than they did in either of the other two games against Columbus this season. They didn't bother showing up for the last one, so, really, there's only room for improvement.
 
So is Randy still going with the whole Clarkson on the 2nd line thing despite that entire line playing unbelievably better with Kulemin in that spot?

I guess all Kulemin really needs to do is to get Canadian citizenship, sign a contract double than his current one and try to repeatedly skate single handedly through at least 3 players only to have his low-percentage shot on net deflected wide.

I was going to say, they've already have had plenty of practice at taking them lightly.
 
That's a nice roster Columbus has put together. Not a whole lot of star power (at least as of yet) but very deep. They can roll 4 good lines which isn't that common.

They might be a bit of a dark horse actually.

 
I don't know about anyone else but I hope Kadri shows up. I just haven't seen him play a solid game in a while, I keep hearing he is going to be a top player, I just don't see it. we need a second line that is a threat, and Kadri just has not been giving us that.

He has 11 points in his last 10 games and is on pace for 60 points.

What more could you want from a 2nd line player?

Maybe you haven't seen him play a solid game in awhile because there was an Olympic break.

Interesting that they go with 7 defensemen again.  Maybe when your 12th forward is a useless oaf you should actually carry a different guy on the roster. 

I have nothing against Ranger but it seems to me that if you are going to carry an extra guy, it should be someone who provides a unique skill to the lineup.  I'm not sure that Ranger provides that.

I've always thought of him as one of our better penalty killing defencemen. At the very least his presence means Garinder/Rielly/Franson don't need to be relied upon there.
