Granberg's been called up on an emergency basis. No word on who might sit, but I'm guessing Robidas since the team has sat him on back-to-backs before.
 
They have to find a way to win.  They need to play with passion and like men.  It's unacceptable what's going on on the ice and they know it.  This isn't training camp, they are fighting for their lives.  They just have to find a way to battle through adversity and get the job done.

You missed some (from today's Toronto Star):

Reimer:
    ?I fully believe we?re a playoff team, but right now, we?re just not playing like it.? [just right now]
    ?We need to smarten up and really play the way we can, with passion and like men?
    ?We?ve got to find a way to be able to play with resolve, no matter what kind of breaks go against you."
    ?We have to find a way to dig deep."
    "This is probably the toughest hockey we?ll ever play."
    "When things are not going your way, it?s hard to pull out of it."
    "We have to dig down deep and rely on your character.? [our character?]
Horachek:
    ?If you don?t win one-on-one battles, it doesn?t matter?
    ?Our conviction, our sense of urgency, wasn?t there. . . . We played soft.?

Thanks LM.  These guys may suck at hockey, but their CF20 (Cliches For every 20 seconds of airtime) is at the top of the league.
 
Leafs PR ‏@LeafsPR  1 minute ago
The @MapleLeafs have recalled goaltender Antoine Bibeau from the @TorontoMarlies on an emergency basis (1/2) #TMLtalk

As with Granberg, no word yet on why. But Horachek said at practice a few hours ago that Bernier would be starting, and Reimer skated at practice and didn't seem to have any issues.

Phaneuf went on IR retroactively to open up the roster spot.  So either someone is sick or banged up...or something else is up.

One of the Leaf goalies, believed to be Bernier, is not feeling well. Bibeau recall is insurance in case he can't go.

Stupid Bob coming in and squashing all the excitement.
 
And then there's this:

Jonas Siegel ‏@jonasTSN1050  3 minutes ago
Cody Franson was limping pretty good after the game last night. Have to think he's the D in question to play tonight.

So likely nothing to see here.

Be interesting if it turned out that Bernier was about to be traded and his absence tonight was due to "pre-tradeitis".

It could also be that Reimer is going to be traded and they don't want to have Bernier playing with a lingering injury once there isn't a backup.
 
Count me amongst those who want Bibeau between the pipes tonight, not for some pathetic tank job, but because I actually think he could win if the Leafs muster up a couple goals.

That's probably more likely, but maybe there's a mega-deal in the works involving Bernier, Clarkson, and Franson.

In any case, I'd like to see Bibeau get a shot tonight.
