PrintPuck Drop: 7PM ET CBC, NHLN-US
I feel like we've covered this to death so today's preview is going to be really short. Goaltending matchups should be Jonas Gustavsson (16/17 = .941 last night) vs. Tuukka Rask (1.97 GAA .932 SV% this season, thanks JFJ).
The Bruins are pretty banged up, they were without Mark Stuart (broken sternum) and Dennis Wideman in last night's shootout loss to Antti Niemi's Blackhawks, a game in which Boston was outshot 44-29. Both the Leafs and Bruins played last night, if you call what the Leafs did "playing", let's hope the Leafs get some revenge for the past two stomping's Boston's given us however unlikely that may be.
Remember your SPG picks and go Leafs go.

Something's gotta give
Leafs win tonight book it. Joey Joe Joe couldn’t get it done, heaping bucket of crap couldn’t get it done, so the monster has to be able to get it done.
Also Fuck JFJ

Go Leafs.
I’m going to be nice and liquored up for this one. It’s the only way.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
I REALLY hope
The monster performs well so that Wilson has no choice but to play him on MOnday, a game I will be attending
Fairweather fans can go to hell
He better
So that we win.

Leafs PK is scary bad without the Monster (yes, I'm a TO media headline writer)
I took a look at the Leafs PK stats with each of Gustavsson, Toskala, and MacDonald in goal. The Leafs are merely a below-average penalty-killing team with Gustavsson in net. With Toskala in net, they kill penalties at a brutal rate of 64.3 %. BIG dropoff.

how much
is that confounded with Toskala playing through the piss poor start to the season, pre the D starting to gell and the forwards finding stable lines?
Of course, that brings up the subsidiary question of how much Toskala had to do with CREATING the piss poor start to the season, but that’s a fight for another day.
Toskala is piss. Fact.

PK with Toskala in net this month has been WORSE
Here’s the breakdown for Toskala by month:
October: 8 PPGA, 20 TSH = 60.0 PK %
November: 3 PPGA, 15 TSH = 80.0 PK %
December: 9 PPGA, 21 TSH = 57.1 PK %

B's Fan here again...
I gotta say, I think that this is the game that the Leaf’s stand a good chance winning. B’s looked very lost last night on D. They really miss Stuart. Looks like tonight might be the night Kess makes it all worth while.
BTW, Hesus Christo you guys drink a lot!
