Game Notes

TOR
?Curtis McBackup (4-3-2, 2.29 GAA, .928 Sv%) will likely get the start against the team that waived him earlier in the season
?No line-up changes are expected after the Leafs convincing win over the Islanders. Babcock has said that Soshnikov is fully recovered from his injury but will continue to sit with Leivo playing so well

CBJ
?Bobrovsky (30-12-3, 2.19 GAA, .925 Sv%) will likely start for the Blue Jackets
?Columbus has just 2 regulation wins in their last 10 games, going 4-5-1 in that stretch
?The Columbus Dispatch's Aaron Portzline caught up with former Leaf David Clarkson in a story here. I know Clarkson-the-hockey-player was never really well received around here but tough to read about what he's currently going through

Injuries

?Nathan Horton - Back - Out indefinitely ?Joffrey Lupul - ?\_(ツ)_/? - Out indefinitely ?Stephane Robidas - Old - Out indefinitely​

?Scott Hartnell - Lower Body - Questionable Wednesday ?David Clarkson - Back - Out indefinitely​

I hope they resist the temptation to ride Freddy's hot hand tonight.

Leivo is on the 4th line, and his brother the other Leivo is scratched.

That's Joe Leivo I think.

Leivo is on the 4th line, and his brother the other Leivo is scratched.

He is just that multidimensional player, he can play 4th line minutes and be a scratch at the same time.

Hopefully McBackup will have the last laugh at the CBJ.

Go Leafs Go!!!

Just some alternative facts.

Totally forgot that McBackuplhinney came from CBJ.  Hopefully the revenge game for him.

After all these years Columbus has been in the league, still nobody gives ashit about a game against Columbus.  I'm still unsure if the BJ'S and the Wild aren't the same team.

 

[Arn]

Weak

 

[rdowdall]

That was quite the rush by Willie.

 

[Zee]

You can just push the goalie into the net?

 

[dappleganger]

How was that not goaltender interference?

 

[Zee]

Would have been nice if Komarov buried one of those two chances where he was all alone in front

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Komarov has had three quality looks already, need to finish one.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Shoulder to the head of Kadri and no call because of course.

 

[Arn]

Good.old Hunlak coughing it up at the offensive blue line and inviting a spell of pressure in our own zone

Yeah that was brutal.
