FYI, Bruins lost last night!

Go Leafs Go!

Turtleneck confirmed everybody.

I repeat, turtleneck confirmed.

Well, it was blue, but no Leafs logo.

No Namestnikov tonight of course and I doubt Miller and McDonagh arrive in time for the game as they were flying to Vancouver I believe as it happened, so I'd imagine Tampa will go with 11 forwards and 7 defencemen tonight.

PPP is saying Komarov will be on the 4th line meaning Kapi slots in with Willie and Marner plays with Kadri.  YES.

I think not trading Kappi today will turn out to be the best move the Leafs almost didn't make. He just oozes top line potential and that speed...that speed!

Would it violate Lou's rules if he drew a goatee on his face with a Sharpie?

If he were a weather formation he'd be one of these:

What I can't believe is how excited I am by this Leaf team. Kapi on line 1 and my belief in them with Matthews out.  When would we have said we lost Sundin or Sittler and still have been this high on our guys. reel goud pros

I know the Leafs beat Boston without Auston Matthews but I'm worried about Tampa Bay.  Beating Boston required the hockey gods also.  We'll see tonight.  It looks like Lamoriello took the "less is more" approach to the deadline.  I really wanted to see Polak gone but I guess they like him more than Moore.

Go Leafs Go!

JVR had better score a goal per game from here on out.

 

[ZBBM]

Now those were two pretty darned good renditions of our National Songs.

 

[Guru Tugginmypuddah]

Willie needs to be better.

 

[ZBBM]

Ugh-o.

 

[ZBBM]

Willie needs to be better.

Yeah, not a good giveaway but he did get back on Kunitz.  Just not good enough.

 

[herman]

Kadri looked pretty good covering for Gardiner. His backwards skating isn?t too shabby.

Well there is our new D-man.

 

[herman]

That was a nice Willy backcheck. Dermott has had some nice aggressive stick checks in the NZ to scrub out chances.

 

[herman]

Polak didn?t think pass on any of those touches but resulted in some of our best chances so far.

 

[Al14]

Late to the show and it's 1-0 TB already.

 

[herman]

Really nice communication by Dermott to Polak to let him know about the line change and giving him an easy outlet and entry.
