There isn't much noteworthy to say about this team. The Leafs have dropped all three games on the roadtrip by a combined 15-6 score. They haven't won in Vancouver since 2003\. Everyone in British Columbia is going to complain about having to watch 4 PM because boo hoo my ego is so fragile. [Frank Corrado](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/143679/frank-corrado?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) gets a chance to haunt the team that let him walk for nothing and could probably use him right about now, so I suppose there's that. The Canucks are one of those teams that, as [Down Goes Brown puts it](https://sports.vice.com/ca/article/the-down-goes-brown-grab-bag-prebuilding-leafs-cant-have-everything-and-rangers-in-classic-ads?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), is "prebuilding." This is a team that really should just be doing a full-scale rebuild. That said, through a combination of factors- a weak Pacific Division, the difficulty of trading the Sedins for emotional or cap reasons, ownership sweating over season ticket sales- it just isn't going to happen right now. The Canucks sit two points out of a playoff spot, and apparently are reconsider selling any of their pending UFAs in an effort to make a run for a low playoff seed. Also, the Canucks will be wearing their retro "skate logo" jerseys tonight, which is kinda cool. > Sounds like Brendan Leipsic will make his Leafs debut tonight. Leivo injured.

[#tmltalk](https://twitter.com/hashtag/tmltalk?src=hash&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Paul Hendrick (@HennyTweets) [February 13, 2016](https://twitter.com/HennyTweets/status/698625216595959808?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) #### Probable Leafs Lineup [Nazem Kadri](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/71825/nazem-kadri?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) miraculously returns to the lineup after his one game "lower body injury" that was definitely not an in-house suspension or crowbar wound or anything of the sort. [Josh Leivo](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/143529/josh-leivo?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), however, will remain out. [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) is the likely starter. (**UPDATE:** per his own brother, Brendan Leipsic will make his Leafs debut tonight). Today's morning skate lines, per Paul Hendrick: Grabner - Kadri - Komarov Holland - Arcobello - Parenteau Winnik - Spaling - Greening Leipsic - Froese - Boyes Hunwick - Rielly Gardiner - Polak Marincin - Corrado Reimer #### Probable Vancouver Lineup Per Jon Abbott of TSN 1040 Vancouver, the probable lineup. I'd expect [Ryan Miller](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54834/ryan-miller?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to start tonight for the Canucks.

Canucks fans make fun of me at the game and make me sad so I go watch Mitch Marner highlights on my phone until I'm not sad anymore. ### How delicious are the tears about a 4 PM puck drop? | Delicious | 29 | | ----------- | -- | | Scrumptious | 23 | | Exquisite | 57 |
