I hope we get a big win.

I hope we get a big win.

Agreed but i'm always wary of teams coming in on slumps.  Especially Ovechkin, he's historically done well playing against the Leafs if you look at his stats.  I hope he doesn't bust out tonight.

I'm hoping Reimer is out to show the NHL he is back.

Look it, if you're not going to make the Game Day Thread with some effort, with cool graphics and logos, and lineups, and current injuries, and the teams' top scorers, and who's got the hottest wife, and who the healthy scratches are, then don't do it.

We have a strong tradition around here of extensively informational Game Day Threads, and I think you're mocking our TMLfans.ca culture.

I know I speak for everyone, so you're all welcome. 

EDIT:  And just so we're clear, not a chance that I'm putting the time in to do all that.

We also have a pretty strong tradition of calling out people who don't put in the effort when making GDTs, so, well done, Frank. Well done.

Shayne?  The Leafs just have to win after that post.

Based on morning line rushes, doesn't appear Clarke MacArthur will play tonight. Will await confirmation following skate.

Ryan Hamilton skated on fourth unit with Colton Orr and Dave Steckel. MacArthur's status in doubt.

#leafs projected lines, JVR-Bozak-Kessel, McClement-Grabo-Kulemin, Frattin-Kadri-Komarov, Steckel-Hamilton-Orr.

I'm glad to see Hamilton get a shot, but with all the injuries at forward I'm really surprised we haven't seen Connolly this year?

Connolly would only come back up if the Leafs need a centre. So far, all the injuries have been to wingers.

James Mirtle:

Tonight's game will be titled: The triumphant return of Joseph Q. Crabb.

Connolly would only come back up if the Leafs need a centre. So far, all the injuries have been to wingers.

I thought that at first too, but I think he could be pretty effective playing wing, and would probably come in with a different attitude after being demoted. He's got 3 goals in 3 games with the Marlies so far. He hasn't been sulking, and is probably dying for another shot to prove himself.

Edit: Or you put him at centre on the top line and move Bozak to wing. That top line hasn't been exactly lighting it up.

Game 7?

Game 7s are always exciting.

I was kinda hoping we would grab Boychuk off waivers due to all of our injuries.

I know... he's small and such but I've always kinda thought he could make it with the way the league has been changing.

*edit* Nvm... Pitts just grabbed him and we grabbed Frazer McLaren

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

i'm always worried for the leafs on days in which we play other teams...

 

[Peter D.]

Time to kick the Capitals while they're down.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

2-10-3 our last 15 home games.  Absolutely have to change that.

Wow.  Didn't realize it was that bad dating back to last season.

I thought I recall Connolly playing on the wing in past ... I thought he was one of those versatile guys.  Wouldn't he be an improvement over Komarov on the 3rd line -- perhaps shifting Koma down to the 4th?
