?Anthony Cirelli, injured since last years playoffs, is getting close to making his season debut. Tampa made some roster moves on Friday that could indicate he's being taken off the IR for this game

Go down there and whop 'em like G1 last spring.

 

[AtomicMapleLeaf]

This is going to be a tough one.

 

[Redleaf]

This should be fun. Had this game circled on the calendar since game 1.

I think it will boil down to which goaltender has the better game?Murray or Vasilevskiy.

Go Leafs !!

Go Leafs !!

I think we could easily lose this game even if our goaltending is better than theirs. Sooner or later our decimated D is going to catch up with us. I really hope it's not tonight. Go Leafs Go!

 

[Bender]

I mean really with the injuries they've had I would've given them a pass anyway just playing around .500 hockey. They had the most points ever as a franchise for November. I can't be mad at a few losses going forward, but still hopeful they can keep the run going.

It'd be pretty cool if Matthews is heating up...a goal in each of his last 3 games.

Anyone think that they're starting to settle in a bit with the goaltending being a lot better over the past few weeks?

 

[cujo4ever]

Hopefully the strong goaltending and team defense continue tonight. Also would love to see Mitch set the team record.

GO LEAFS GO!

 

[ZBBM]

Good for Stamkos but the Lightning stole our color scheme.

 

[L K]

I know it?s been done a couple of times now but it?s absurd how long it took to give the kids of players hitting 1000 points mini sticks.  Such a smart decision

 

[ZBBM]

Victor Hedman appears to be 7 feet tall.

 

[ZBBM]

Ooof, they need to get themselves some new anthem singers.  Yeesh

 

[Jeremiad]

F/u Draft Kings.

 

[ZBBM]

Good PK.  Hollowell v Kucherov is not in our favor.

 

[L K]

The refs getting in the way of the play in the corners is so frustrating.  Too many bodies on the ice

 

[Jeremiad]

Nick Robertson looking good already. Some sibling rivalry would be welcome, even if there's currently no real contest between him and his older brother.

 

[ZBBM]

Nick Robertson looking good already. Some sibling rivalry would be welcome, even if there's currently no real contest between him and his older brother.

And he gets leveled.  Leafs chance now with the man advantage.


And no score but it looked good, lots of movement.

 

[L K]

Sandin really hasn?t been the solution to the powerplay

 

[ZBBM]

Sandin really hasn?t been the solution to the powerplay

I have to admit, I thought he'd get them rolling.  Just the opposite.

Try Liljegren.

 

[L K]

So close there
