Double duty for the Animal House line, Kadri, Kulemin, and Rosehill.

I want to see how Kadri will play with some skilled wingers, and not bruisers like Orr and Primeau, on his wings for the whole game.

Also it’s interesting that the Leafs play the big bruisers for Boston and not Philly. Anyone know if Pronger is playing tonight?

Wings fan by birth. Leafs fan by truculent osmosis.

Need to send a message to divisional rivals.

Although, Rosehill, Ondrus, and Grabovski can all fight.

Hmm, no defensive repeats…

Leafs TV, I think.. at the very least should be streamed online on LeafsTV…

LeafsTV is brutal. I wanted to watch the 1-hour PreGame show last night and the sound didn’t work for the WHOLE show — oh but the commercials were fine.

Seriously, for a team that makes so much money and for a channel that I pay extra for, the production quality is embarrassing.

If it makes you feel any better they couldn’t figure out the ACC sound system for the first period so the audio never matched the jumbotron.

I do feel a little better, thanks.

Petrillo was on which kept me watching despite the lack of sound. I just pretended she was talking about how handsome I am.

On the plus side, there’s some more experienced offence there.
On the negative, MacD and Reimer. Uh oh.

Could be downright Raycroftian if both guys don’t improve on their previous outings.

Dedicated to the gradual progression into an era in which Leaf fans could possibly maybe consider perhaps Toronto could might win the Stanley Cup...possibly...mayhap.

Raycroftian is the perfect way of putting it, too.

Yeah I don’t think we are going to win the game, but more fights and more lighting from The Graduates+Naz should be fun to watch.

Reimer was terrible at the rookie tourny…. MacDonald can be good some nights…. but yea…could be a long night between the pipes…

I don’t have a serious knock against Macd yet, but I don’t think it’s fair to compare with Toskala’s numbers from last year.
His save percentage is better overall, but the two years previous to last are pretty good for Toskala.

heh

I wonder how these young guys like Bozak, Stalberg and Kadri will take two games in two nights.
They could be out of gas.

Just looking at the regular season sked… when was the last time the Leafs had a full week off? Oct 17-24… what the hell am I going to do that week?
