HUBERDEAU!

 

[ZBBM]

Biggest game of the year!  Maybe in a score of years!!

EDIT -- CTB, noticed that our team record under the logo needs to be updated.  You've got the right numbers down below.

HUBERDEAU!

I won't even be mad when he scores 6 goals.

?With Carlyle saying he wants to get all 25 bodies into the line-up before the playoffs, expect the 4th line and 3rd defensive pairing to get swapped out for those who just sat

Wait how is it that we can have all these guys on the roster anyways?  Isn't the limit 23?

 

[Jalili]

Hopefully this is the last we'll see of that 4th line for the rest of the year.

Good guys, but not the kind you win with. The goons have run their course, now we need to roll 4 lines that can play.

With their playoff seeding on the line I'm confident they'll win tomorrow.

The 4th line crapped the bed in TB. This one can't do any worse.

After the trade deadline the rosters expand.

The 4th line that was a net +/- of zero (Colborne -1, Frattin 0, MacArthur +1) with 5 shots
Orr has 12 shots on the season.  McLaren has 20.  So in 6 games the 4th line would have matched an entire seasons worth of offensive chances.


As opposed to our illustrious 1st line that was -5 (Kessel -2, Bozak -1, JVR -2)

I actually thought they looked pretty good. Quite a few quality chances and continued pressure in the TB zone.

Well to be totally fair, I just equated the whole team's performance with the 4th liners...maybe I just wanted to see someone in TB get thumped when the Leafs started shating the bed.

They weren't a resounding success, but they had a decent night.

I see potential for them to be pretty good, whereas with the goons it's nothing but status quo.

Some pregame tweets:

James Mirtle ‏@mirtle 30m
In the last 10 days, Isles have gained five points on Leafs. Now only one back and can pass Toronto tonight.

Jay McKee ‏@JayMcKee74 21h
Finally got to the bottom of who hacked the http://NHL.com  standings to put the Leafs in the playoffs.

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050 2h
After watching the tape of last night's game in Tampa, Randy Carlyle felt his team was lacking in physicality.

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050 3h
Randy Carlyle noted the likelihood of more lineup changes tonight in Florida, some it would sound based on minor injuries.

Chris Johnston ‏@reporterchris 3h
Randy Carlyle said that Frazer McLaren and Colton Orr would both be questionable even if this was a playoff game. Both nursing injuries.

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters 2h
MacArthur on high turnout at optional skate: 'Good to have a lot of guys out there ... It's a big game for us tonight. We got to win it.'

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters 2h
Carlyle: 'I look at this & challenge our group: this is a bounce-back game. We?ll be judged on our response here tonight'

Mark Masters ‏@markhmasters 2h
Carlyle: 'We've been criticized [for being] outshot & we outshoot a team last night & lose so ... what are you guys going to write now?'

Paul Hendrick ‏@HennyTweets 3h
@smileejenn its all speculation...but indication now has james reimer starting in florida

 

[ZBBM]

If Reimer starts tonight, RC is nuts.  There is no reason to run him B2B when he's going to get all the starts after that.

 

[Bonsixx]

I think we've clearly established by now that Randy Carlyle is a terrible hockey coach, an even worse human being and should be replaced by a voting committee of TMLFans members immediately.

 

[Highlander]

Off with his head

 

[lamajama]

Did Kipper just say Bozak was out?

Edit: Yep, they just repeated it.

 

[bustaheims]

jonasTSN1050: Tyler Bozak not on the ice for pre-game warmup. Randy Carlyle hinted this morning that a few players might be banged up.

jonasTSN1050: Ryan O'Byrne additionally not on the ice.

markhmasters: Per Leafs lines in warm-up: Lupul-Kadri-Kessel appear to be new top line w/ Bozak out ... JVR w/ Grabovski-Kulemin

 

[bustaheims]

jonasTSN1050: Projected Lines vs. FLA: Lupul-Kadri-Kessel. JVR-Grabovski-Kulemin. MacArthur-Colborne-Frattin. Komarov-McClement-Orr.

jonasTSN1050: D: Gunnarsson-Phaneuf. Fraser-Franson. Liles-Kostka. Reimer starts.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Kadri & Kessel!?
