Montreal played last night Columbus and lost in a shootout. Toronto last played Thursday night in Boston, where they did their characteristic "terrible first period try and come back in the third" dance.

Toronto is 0-2-1 in their last three, having played Carolina twice and then the Bruins. Tonight they're back in the ACC on a Saturday night against Montreal, here's hoping they put up a good effort.

REMEMBER YOUR SPG PICKS

Nik Antropov is expected back in the lineup tonight, after taking a shot off his left foot in the 5-2 loss to Boston. John Mitchell is expected to be out for a week, so Jiri Tlusty was recalled from the Marlies to take his spot.

I wonder if that’s a precursor to moving Cola? Just kidding.

Alright Leafers, time to make up for that 6-1 pasting.

Spam crown is (most likely) up for grabs(ovski)

I have much work to do (bigs tests and a presentation I have to work on, all for next week) I may drop in but there’s no way I’ll really be competing seriously.

Making stuff up since real Leafs news is far too depressing

I will try,but I’ll be totally half-assing it. Maybe even just quarter assing it

Give it your best, but I usually use my whole ass.

I also

Can’t say how much time or effort I’ll be able to give this one, having work combined with general apathy and fear that Montreal is going to play well.
