Maple Leafs v. Sharks: Final Boss Edition

This is very analogous to the progression of the Leafs this past week and a half. They acquired new talents and inventory by adding Dion Phaneuf, Jean-Sebastien Giguere, and Fredrik Sjostrom; calling up Christian Hanson and Viktor Stalberg; and developing a PP and PK that doesn't make me want to vomit. Think of the games against the Devils and Ottawa as playing the lesser bosses; the Devils are the second best team in the East, and the Senators were on an 11 game winning streak. But now the true challenger emerges; the end boss; the San Jose Sharks.
Take a jump with me as we look deeper into this momentous challenge for the Leafs.
Regular season success; post-season failure. That has become the M.O. for the Sharks as of late. Unfortunately for the Leafs, they are meeting the Sharks during the regular season. Even more unfortunate is the fact that this may be the most dangerous Shark ever, and with more firepower than a WWII battleship. Led up front by Joe Thornton, Patrick Marleau, and driver's education instructor Dany Heatley; the Sharks have put up a second league best total of 192 goals so far for an average of 3.31 a game. Only Washington is putting up more a game and they don't have nearly the same talent in net as the Sharks do with Evgeni Nabokov. Yikes!
The big line of Marleau, Thornton, and Heatley has combined for 85 goals so far this season; only 25 less than the current combined total of the entire Maple Leafs roster. Yeah, that's impressive, and the reason that I feel tonight's game will be won by goaltending; for either team. Nabokov has played in and started 50 games so far this season, and put up a fantastic .927 save% while facing the third highest number of shots at 1423. He's pretty good, and the Leafs need to worry about beating him before they worry about shutting down San Jose's big three.
San Jose's lineup according to The Daily Faceoff:
Marleau - Thornton - Heatley
Pavelski - Mitchell - Setoguchi
Clowe - Nichol - Ortmeyer
Shelley - Staubitz - ??
Boyle - Blake
Murray - Huskins
Demers - Joslin
Nabokov
Greiss
For the Leafs, Mr. Zero himself JS Giguere is getting the start in net. And why shouldn't he? Two games in the blue and white; two shutouts. Who said he was washed up again? I think he's in his prime and just needed a change of scenery and a reunion with Burke and Allaire to get him going again. Time will obviously tell though. When he joined the Leafs, he had a .895 save %. Now he is sporting a .909. Very nice. If the Leafs hope to provide the ACC with a win tonight, it's going to have to come on Giggy's broad, handsome shoulders.
Looking at the rest of the Leafs, I just have to say, keep doing that you've been doing. Aside from terrible mistakes at the end of the last New Jersey game; the Leafs have played 177 fantastic minutes in their last three games. Keep up that kind of play, and they'll make things a lot easier on themselves.
There's been a slight personnel change for the Leafs as Viktor Stalberg got called up from the Marlies on Sunday and looks to have been slotted in Jay Rosehill's place on the 4th line. I don't feel this is where he belongs as he's not a fighter or a grinder, but with Orr already on the line Rosehill was redundant. So hopefully Stalberg injects some speed their and really steps up the forechecking. Speaking of Orr, looking for him and San Jose's brawler Jody Shelley to throw down at some point during tonight's game, as Shelley already has 9 fights to his card this season.
Tonight's Leaf Lineup
Ponikarovski - Bozak -Kessel
Kulemin - Wallin - Sjostrom
Mitchell - Hanson - Stempniak
Stalberg - Primeau - Orr
Gunnarsson - Kaberle
Phaneuf - Beauchemin
Schenn - Exelby
Giguere
Gustavsson

please, please win
I’ve been largely out of town and busy with other commitments for the last week, so haven’t had much chance to enjoy these new-look Leafs.
I check the boxscores every morning and like what I see and hear in here, but if this team could manage to beat the San Jose Sharks tonight? O-ho, man.
The Sharks have called up Dwight Helminen to center the fourth line tonight.
Fear the Fin: Sharing Joe Thornton's love of wooly mammoths since 2009.
Gigeure already has two goals for the Leafs? That’s awesome.
I am Mikhail Grabovski's smirking revenge.
I mentioned this last week, but Giguere was putting up solid numbers last season too, until his father passed away in December. He never quite recovered last year, and then Allaire, his coach and mentor, left the team. I just think he needed a change of scenery.
That said, we’re only 2 games in. Hopefully this can keep going.
By a change of scenery...
do you mean a reversion back to his old scenery circa 2006?
Being a fan is as wonderful as it is irrational. Or vice-versa.
wow, if he can score at a goal per game basis and keep posting shut outs, we won’t need any other players on the Leafs!

I’m amazed at how mediocre San Jose’s lineup is beyond the 6 starters. But those 6… wow. This will probably be one of those games where the ice appears to tilt based on whether Thornton-Marleau-Heatley are on the ice.
i had the same thought
that bottom 4 D are just abysmal, on paper anyway.
Surely our pluggers will be able to make some sort of damage against that opposition.
Well, our lines 2-4 aren’t too impressive on paper either. But at least I don’t think there’s any overwhelming advantage to SJ outside of the top line, and we’ve got the edge on Ds #3-5.

Or the Leafs season: either one works
Giguere and Shelly played their junior hockey together here in Halifax for the Mooseheads. Both of their jerseys are hanging from the rafters of the Halifax Metro Centre – along with Alex Tanguay’s. I’ll be interested to see if there is any sort of interaction between the two. Not sure if they have maintained a connection over the years.
Nabokov vs Gigga
Hate that I have to watch this on the laptop…stupid “Sportsnet-Ontario”
Shutting down that big line will be a pain. I predict 2 goals from SJ’s top line tonight.

Where would the Leafs be if Burke had pulled the two trades at the end of October? Both deals were apparently in the discussion phase all season(if you believe Garrioch).Anyway,I am not complaining.Very happy with what seems like an almost night and day transformation of attitude and work ethic.Next season is going to be very exciting indeed.
In the mean time,lets hope that the team continues to grow together and make it to 9th or 10th in the conference….so Boston doesn’t get Taylor Hall.
The deals wouldn’t have happened earlier. Calgary wasn’t desperate yet and Anaheim was still holding out hope they could find a suitable trading partner. I heard that Anaheim wanted Toskala for Giguere straight up, but Burke held out and said they had to take either Blake or Finger with in the deal. As time wore on and there was zero interest in Giguere, they finally gave in.

Going to the game tonight in my lucky purple seats. I’m probably due for a regulation loss (7 or 8 straight games in these seats without one), so as long as it’s entertaining and not a blowout I’ll be happy.
And I was too lazy to pack a change of clothes, so I’ll be the suit in the upper bowl tonight. I’m anticipating some heckling.
Yesterday is dead, but not my memory.
Don’t show up late like you did the last time you wore a suit. Also, tell people that you’re wearing the suit ironically.

you bastard. i wasn’t late – i was at the rink at 6:00 watching the pre-game skate! we just happened to be in the wrong seats. just because i’m in a suit doesn’t mean i’m smrt.
and that was actually the home opener – i’ve been to 3 games at the ACC since and i think i’ve been in a suit every time. so lazy.
the ironic suit angle could actually work, especially in the purples.

technically, Kadri is a member of the organization because he has already signed his entry level deal. As long as he is signed to a contract, it doesn’t matter if they call him up from the AHL, ECHL, etc. They probably need permission from the Knights to call him up though
