If Mrazek does well I think we can just go right ahead and step into Goalie Controversy Universe.  That will give the rest of the season some extra piquancy.

 

[princedpw]

Obviously, the leafs are gonna be really careful. Still, I feel like sitting out Kase for a game just because is the direction I?d lean.

 

[Frank E]

Pettersson took a real step back this year...27 points in 48 games...has a goal in each of his last 2 games.

 

[rdowdall]

So tonight could be the night when the entire lineup plays together for the first time.

 

[cujo4ever]

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[azzurri63]

Think they deserved a better fate Thursday. Hoping for a solid game from Mrazek as Demko has been solid this year for the Canucks. Matthews back on the scoresheet and Leaf victory. GLG.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Not good Holl. What is he thinking?

 

[lamajama]

Yeesh.

 

[lamajama]

Now why do they allow so much time to decide if they want to challenge?

 

[ZBBM]

Yeesh.

You said it.

 

[azzurri63]

FFS how long do we have to keep watching Holl cost us. Every bloody game he f?s up. Dubas wake up and ship him out.

 

[Derk]

Quite a few shots have missed the net already. Leafs getting some chances, but it looks like the last overall PK wins round 1.

 

[azzurri63]

Good penalty Engvall. Gotta love the penalties taken in the opponents end.

 

[Derk]

Well this is not how I had hoped they would start.

 

[ZBBM]

It's going to be one of those games....

 

[lamajama]

Ugh. I live outside Vancouver and the pinheads come out when the Leafs come to town?..7 diff texts so far

 

[Sandinius]

Is this going to be one of those night?  :-[

 

[azzurri63]

Wow this team at times just is plain out weak in front of the net. Annoying as hell. Canucks score next you can write this one off.

 

[azzurri63]

This is what pisses me off about Keefe. We r down 1-0 and then Engvall takes a stupid penalty that costs us and guess what back out their next shift. Staple his ass to the bench.
