Game Notes

SJ
?Dell (3-3-2, 2.60 GAA, .914 Sv%) will likely start for the Sharks
?San Jose played in Buffalo last night and lost 3-2 in OT to the Sabres
?San Jose has gone 2-2-2 in their last 6 games
?Erik Karlsson's offence is starting to show as he has 8 points in his last 7 games. Don't let the 3rd pairing roster spot fool you: he's still playing 23+ minutes a night, more than any other Sharks player

TOR
?Andersen (13-7-0, 2.22 GAA, .932 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?Is tonight the night? Just waiting on medical clearance for Matthews' return now

Injuries

​

?Auston Matthews - Shoulder - Injured Reserve​

A third sheltered scoring line of Johnsson-Matthews-Leivo would be fun. I?d really like to see Leivo digging pucks out for Matthews some time.

I doubt Babs considers it of course.

I gotta think right now if Matthews returns he just takes Kadri's spot and him and Lindholm each move down a line.

It's Kadri-Will-Be-Beat-Up day! Apparently accidentally ripping someone's beard off is grounds for a beating. Hope it's not Kane that goes after him.

Levio sucks and will take his spot in the press box when we get some bodies back. I am trolling but it will probably happen.

Agreed.  Gauthier out, and if Nylander comes back, Leivo is likely out with Brown on the 4th line.

We won't know who he's playing with until warm-ups probably, but Papi's back!

Woohoo!

He had an interesting comment yesterday about needing to change his style a bit to be more aware when he's wheeling and dealing in tight quarters. Said something about not avoiding hits, but making sure those he does take are not severe ones.

I could just be imaging this but on the play he was injured I thought I remember the Leafs were in need of a goal and were a bit frustrated.  He might have drove to the net more recklessly than he normally would.

Are they STILL on about that?

He should get fined... it's a threat. I have no idea what all the hate is about? I guess it was compounded by Kadri picking his spot last time they matched up.

Not a lot of potential Mensa members over there in San Jose.

LIke the respect of throwing out a useless guy to try and instigate a fight and then having your team chase him around the ice?  DeBoer can shut the hell up.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

No, it isn't. He's describing thornton. Unclench those cheeks. 

Although, I think more respect would be gleaned from bringing up his productivity over his career, not so much by the fact he has two bad knees and is nearing 40. But whatever. Deboer is just trying to get some emotion up on his team.

 

[Frank E]

I'm not sure why they're even talking about it at all. 

The guys fought each other already.  It was over right then and there, and honestly Thornton instigated it anyways.

Sometimes it's just some media drip trying to create some narrative to get some clicks, so they ask Deboer a stupid question, and he gives a stupid answer, and people talk about something stupid.

 

[Guilt Trip]

They could also be trying to get Kadri off his game a little. Wind him up so to speak and then come game time, no one pays any attention to him hoping Kadri takes the penalties. Wouldn't be the first time a team tried it.

DeBoer: I wonder if Naz has watched Fight Club.

Isn't Deboer Dutch for meaning big bore in English?
