Game Notes

CAR
?Andersen (24-6-0, 2.01 GAA, 0.929 Sv%) will start for the Hurricanes
?Andersen has been thriving with the Canes: he's 2nd among goalies in wins (1 behind Vasilevskiy in 7 less starts), 2nd in Sv%, and 1st in GAA
?The Hurricanes have a fairly comfortable lead at the top of the Metro division. They're technically tied for 1st with the Rangers but have 5 games in hand on them

TOR
?Mrazek (5-2-0, 2.94 GAA, .902 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
?With Campbell coming off the All-Star game festivities and Carolina being his former team Petr Mrazek will get the teams first start after the break
?Muzzin skated with the team at practice yesterday but was not in the top 6 rotation, so while he appears to be getting closer to a return he's doubtful for this game

Injuries

?Teuvo Teravainen - Lower Body - Questionable
?Jesperi Kotkaniemi - COVID-19 Protocol - Out​
Code: 
     
?Jake Muzzin - Concussion - Doubtful                ​

Great job CtB (As always).

Would it be ironic if Marner or Matthews scores on the "Michigan Move" tonight.

Any way, Mrasek is playing good latelly, boys are on streaks, Andersen is in TO, so it should be a fun game. Go Leafs Go!!!
 
So Freddie turns out to be pretty good when he has a really good defense fronting him.

I presume he'll get a video trib.

Carolina's defensive metrics aren't actually super impressive this season, and actually worse than the 20/21 Leafs (which were good). It's their offence and Freddy's goaltending that's carrying them.

Prob no tribute. No fans so why bother? And Freddie was pretty good with the Leafs crappy defence too. Carolina isn't the Jersey Devils of old. They do give up a lot of high danger chances, he's making the saves. Should be a fun game.

He was a very good goalie for his 5 years here. His ups and downs were overly magnified. But he?s easily the best goalie the leafs have had since Belfour.

And that just shows how mismanaged the leafs goaltending depth has been. Which reinforces that the Raycroft-Rask trade is the worst leafs trade of all time. You can?t change my mind on this one. Leafs are still paying for this trade to this day.

Coincidentally, I too am recalling Josh Leivo.

Thanks for the facts CTB but I prefer to shoot (my mouth off) from the hip.  So to speak.

Josh Leivo hat trick?

Due to the shutout, he will only need one for the game winner. I doubt he rubs it in further with a hat trick.
 
Can you guys help me understand the thinking of signing Mrazek and not offering a contract to Freddie at the end of last year. Was it his bad year or what? I missed the entire last year so I'm honestly asking. The money between the two is like less than a million per. Was it going all in on Campbell and going and also for a resign?

Go Leafs Go!

He was brutal all year, was injured and continued to be brutal.
