Game Notes

TOR
?Campbell (11-11-3, 2.82 GAA, .903 Sv%) will start for the Leafs

ANA
?Gibson (19-26-5, 3.05 GAA, .902 Sv%) will likely start for the Ducks
?I wouldn't blame you for not believing me but I swear that to the best of my knowledge the line-up I've projected for the Ducks is real. I've spent the last 6 hours working to confirm that Jani Hakanpaa actually exists and that's why this is super late and not because I literally forgot the Leafs had another stupid west coast game

?Jake Muzzin - Hand - Injured Reserve ?Andreas Johnsson - Knee - Injured Reserve ?Cody Ceci - Ankle - Injured Reserve ?Morgan Rielly - Foot - Injured Reserve ?Ilya Mikheyev - Wrist - Injured Reserve​

?Erik Gudbrandon - Upper Body - Questionable Friday ?Josh Manson - Upper Body - Questionable Friday ?Hampus Lindholm - Upper Body - Questionable Friday ?Cam Fowler - Lower Body - Injured Reserve ?Ryan Kesler - Hip - Out for season ?Patrick Eaves - Illness - Out for season​

If all 4 of Fowler, Manson, Gudbranson and Lindholm are out the lineup, this should be a cakewalk.

Then again, the Leafs are missing Rielly, Muzzin and Ceci and are still managing to win games...

Anaheim beat Colorado in OT with this line-up on Wednesday. Hockey is very weird.

This is...probably positive news?

Yes it is. Liljegren isn't ready and at this point CC is a better option.

If it's positive news, then it's negative news.

I don't agree.  Ceci is a rolling disaster.  If they give him Liljegren's sheltered minutes, then they can minimize him.  But they probably won't.

Problem right now is they can't totally shelter Liljegren. CC will be on the bottom pairing with Sandin. He's not moving Holl or Barrie down the lineup.

Ceci is an NHL quality defensemen and Liljegren isn't. At least not right now.

Go Leafs Go!

Great line in the movie Out of Africa;  "when the Gods want to punish you, they give you what you ask for".  We wanted D back and God gave us Ceci.  The saying may have originated with Oscar Wilde

Marincin  8)

I'd like to suggest that they win this thing tonight.

 

[ZBBM]

Apparently Bob Mackenzie doesn't stay up this late.

 

[ZBBM]

That was well said: don't want to limp home with 1 point in 3 games against nonplayoff teams.  (No matter how well they've played lately.)

I say either JT or Matthews gets a pair.

 

[ZBBM]

Dux 1-0.

Our D sux.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Amazing first 2 minutes, still can't score first. Bleh.
