Let's hope that the Leafs score more than their last 0-0 meeting against the Rangers, even though both teams have enjoyed success on each other's ice in the past few seasons.

REMEMBER YOUR SPG PICKS

From The Star:

Backup Steve Valiquette will start for the Rangers. He's 2-0-0 with a 1.44 goals against average, and he's already posted a shutout victory over Toronto earlier this season.

We're boned. In case anyone forgot, Valiquette came in to the ACC last year and stopped 27 of 28 shots in a a 6-1 blowout. Thanks Raycroft. Hopefully tonight the Leafs continue their recent shot production, while rebounding from their soft defensive performance against the Rangers.

The Rangers have started the season 10-2-1, a win here would be a great morale booster for the Leafs, unfortunately I think Steve Valiquette is going to continue his role as "Leafs ruiner" tonight.

My picks are in. I’ll most likely be around, but I make no guarantees.

Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing

I’m watching the Oilers game right now and they were talking in the intermission about whether, if the Leafs beat the Rangers tonight, the league has to start taking them seriously as playoffs contenders.

Uh, can I have some cotton to stuff in my ears? This is the step before signing Sundin and Shanny to lead us to playoff glory, isn’t it?

Oh – speaking of Sundin…that FullTilt poker ad? I love how he’s wearing the “C” in the on-ice footage. Captain indecision?
