I wonder what the playoff picture would have looked like if the Leafs had been able to play the Blue Jackets more often in the past three seasons... 

Courtesy [Hawkeye19](http://hfboards.com/showthread.php?t=558332&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) here are the line-ups for this rare afternoon game:

**Columbus**

F1: Fredrik Modin -- Manny Malhotra -- Andrew Murray  
F2: Jason Chimera -- Jiri Novotny -- Jake Voracek  
F3: Nikita Filatov -- Michael Peca -- Jared Boll  
F4: Alexandre Picard -- Craig MacDonald -- Derek Dorsett  
  
D1: Ole-Kristian Tollefsen -- Rostislav Klesla  
D2: Marc Methot -- Mike Commodore  
D3: Kris Russell -- Christian Backman  
  
G1: Fredrik Norrena  
G2: Dan LaCosta

**Toronto** (*my guesses*)

F1: Alex Ponikarovsky - Nik Antropov - Jason Blake   
F2: John Mitchell - Mikhail Grabovski - Niklas Hagman  
F3: Alex Steen - Matt Stajan - Jiri Tlusty  
F4: Jamal Mayers - Boyd Devereaux - Ryan Hollweg  
  
D1: Luke Schenn - Tomas Kaberle  
D2: Carlo Colaiacovo - Mike Van Ryn  
D3: Jonas Frogren - Anton Stralman  
Swingman: Ian White   
  
G1: Vesa Toskala  
G2: Curtis Joseph

The big attraction to this game will be the appearance of Nikita Filatov. He would have been drafted by the Leafs in the seventh overall slot if they had not moved up to buy Niklas Pronmayer from Kelowna. The upside for Schenn would be that he would be a franchise player if the Leafs had drafted in their original slot since he would have been in the coveted top six positions. As it stands he's just a blue and white flash in the pan.

Save for Kubina and Finger this is pretty close to the Leafs opening night roster (four more sleeps!) while the Blue Jackets counter with a lot of guys I've never heard of before and that's not being dismissive. I honestly don't know half of those guys so it will be noted in the papers if the Leafs do well tonight.
