Game Notes

FLA
?Luongo (7-5-1, 2.95 GAA, .906 Sv%) will likely start for the Panthers
?After ending last season on a 25-8-2 run hopes were high in Florida. But they haven't been able to recreate that magic and currently sit 3rd last in the East
?Jonathan HUBERDEAU leads the team in scoring with 40 points in 32 games. His previous career high was 69 points, which was set last season
?Barkov leads the team in ice-time, playing approximately 46 minutes a night. He also serves as the teams head athletic therapist and on weekends manages the teams twitter account
?Alex Petrovic has 1 point in 24 games this season, has been scratched multiple times, and will likely walk as a free agent at the end of the season. Meanwhile, in Vegas...

TOR
?Andersen (18-9-1, 2.53 GAA, .923 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?The Leafs play at home for the first time in 5 games, and just the second time in 8 games. But now 14 of their next 19 games will be at home

Injuries

?Nick Bjugstad - Upper Body - Doubtful Thursday ?Jamie McGinn - Back - Injured Reserve ?Vincent Trocheck - Ankle - Injured Reserve ?Derek MacKenzie - Shoulder - Injured Reserve​

Sundin did the Nutcracker thing as well, I'm pretty sure.

2007, playing the same role.

I thought they pulled it off with aplomb.

In case anybody is wondering, the person in the middle is probably the best athlete of the three.

Luongo is golden.

Ok, it doesn't look like Nylander but I'll take your word for it.

It would be kind of funny if he glued a tiara to the top of his helmet during warm-ups.

Expecting a much better start and result tonight from the last meeting. Nylander to finally hit the scoreboard. 5-2 Leafs.

We better rule man...

GO LEAFS GO!

Hyman is out with an injury tonight.

 

[Highlander]

I heard he cracked his Hyman.....sorry

 

[Zee]

Good to see Babcock's already annoyed with Nylander

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

So, who takes Hyman's spot ?
