SJ
?Jones (13-9-3, 2.57 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Sharks
?The Sharks are on a bit of a roll lately going 6-2-2 in their last 10 games
?Brent Burns, the reigning Norris trophy winner who put up 29 goals and 76 points last season, is starting to come alive offensively. He scored 0 goals and had just 7 assists in his first 19 games. In his last 18 games he has 6 goals and 19 points
?San Jose's other 2 big guns, Thornton and Pavelski, are also hot. They've both scored 11 points in their last 11 games

TOR
?Andersen (20-12-1, 2.69 GAA, .921 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Nazem Kadri's pointless streak now stands at 12 games

Some minor edits before Bullfrog gets here:
Moore and Marincin are doubled on the lineup and scratch list. I assume Gauthier and Carrick are in?
The Sharks shouldn't be on a bit of a role.

Leivo also doubled, I assume Kadri is playing....

This is my favourite type of irony.

Garincin and Borlak...

Hah, my bad. Used the line-ups from last game without double checking. I got the scratches right!

Ok that's just nitpicking

Pretty much what happens to me every time I do one of these. And then I get stressed because I want to get the GDT out accurately by 9 but practice lines don't show up until 11.

I shouldn't of said anything.

Approved. However, perhaps the Sharks do play a role here? Kadri slump-busters?

 

[ZBBM]

Those are some interesting travel stats.

Kadri fighting Thornton?

 

[ZBBM]

Uh-huh.  That's great.

**RUBS EYES**

Kadri fighting Thornton?

Stupidest thing I've seen in awhile.  Play some hockey first to find some good reasons to fight.

I thought the NHL wanted staged fighting gone!

 

[ZBBM]

Urgh.  I hope this isn't Night 2 of getting stoned by their goalie.  Helluva stop on Matthews a few minutes ago and then that.

 

[bustaheims]

How does that hit on Hyman not get called? That's practically textbook boarding.

Quit complaining.  They instantly detected Carrick's dangerous trip.

 

[ZBBM]

Also you have to consider the fact that the ref was nowhere near the play on Hyman.  He was at least 6 feet to the side.

 

[L K]

I hope they fine Hyman for falling into the boards like that trying to draw a penalty.

Yup. It's not like the puck was anywhere near. Not in Hyman's possession or anything.

The stick infractions that don't get called I don't get so up in arms about. They're usually less clear and less dangerous. That was the type of his that can cause a serious injury, and needs to be called every time.

 

[herman]

Was that Marleau calling ?middle! Middle!? when Thornton had the puck on the boards and promptly fed a turnover pass to his old buddy?
