Hoping for a repeat performance this evening. GLG

 

[Redleaf]

I'm predicting another loss. Hey....it worked for last nights game. 

 

[Zee]

There's no way in hell Leafs beat Anaheim and SJ back to back on the road.  Don't even watch this game guys.

 

[bakeapples]

Shark Sushi time!

Go leafs!

 

[freer]

Love the positives here. Stranger things have happened

 

[louisstamos]

The Leafs played the Sharks well earlier in the season.  I'm hoping for at least a point out of this one.

Speed. Speed.  Speed.  That's the only way they win.

Speed. Speed.  Speed.  That's the only way they win.

I agree, but it's going to be real hard to keep up that speed game for two consecutive nights. Exhaustion has a way of catching up to that type of play. 

They have youth going for them, so let's hope they can prove me wrong once again.

 

[nutman]

If they play like last night, I will say we can win.

If they get a point out of this, the Cali swing will have been a success no matter what happens back in LA.

If they win ... then I say they have a playoff spot locked up.  It would take an 18-wheeler, a cliff, and gravity to keep them out.

Shhhhhh!!!!! 8)

Not yet.

Winning tonight's game would be epic.

I'm not expecting it to happen as I think San Jose's defense is better equipped to handle the Leafs offense than the Ducks were, but I've still got hope.

The Kings are going to be the toughest by far to beat, I think.

To be completely honest, the last time the leafs played the Kings was IMO the best game they have played all year even though they lost. Just saying.

 

[hap_leaf]

Like Pro-Line says "Anything can happen!"
Maybe Niemi gets the flu or knocked out in the warm-up.

All I ask for is a solid effort like last night; show emotion, don't let them take liberties with our goalie (thank you Gleason).

These guys played great against Montreal Saturday - this is going to be a huge task but it can be done.

Yeah that's true enough; it's not that the Leafs are out of their league. It's timing more than anything else.

The Kings have won 8 in a row and have given up 7 goals in their last 6 games. Their defense is probably the stingiest in the league.

And ANA has the best home record in hockey. We were able to beat them last night. I expect a good game tonight. I hope the defense help Reimer out like they did for Bernier last night.

Leafs win 4-2.
