Game Notes

TOR
?Despite back-to-back shutouts for Andersen and the ASG break coming up, Babcock confirmed that Curtis McElhinney will start for the Leafs
?Babcock also said that Rielly won't return to the line-up until after the break, so at least one more game without the teams 1D

PHI
?Steve Mason (15-15-6, 2.92 GAA, .899 Sv%) is coming off a 2-0 shutout against the Rangers on Wednesday and might get the back-to-back start
?The Flyers currently hold the final wild card spot in the East, but will still need to fend off the 4th place team in the Atlantic to keep it (currently Boston)

Haven't been able to catch the last couple of games, but should be free to watch this one tonight. I fear I may scud the 4-0 win streak.

I'm okay with winning 5-1 or 6-2 instead...

This would be a really nice one to win. Any buffer the Leafs can build on a playoff spot now will make that second half schedule a little more palatable.

 

[Zee]

Hope McBackuplinney plays well tonight.

 

[disco]

The Mac Attack is back!

 

[ZBBM]

Why Don't We Do It In The Road"... I had blessedly forgotten about that "song" until then Paul thanksalot.

Scored the Nic Cage YouTube, lemme know if you need a PM.

Message me game updates please, I'm presently driving to Philly to stab Radko Gudas.

 

[ZBBM]

That was monster.  Full change while maintaining possession in the ozone.

 

[Al14]

Leafs pressing early!  I like it.

He's going to be beating on Auston all night.  Unless we have a deterrent we can put out.  *scratches head*

I know! Babs rolling all four lines tonight the back-to-back.

 

[Al14]

For once can we score on the 1st 2 minutes of a 4 minute PP.

Nope, wasted another!

 

[ZBBM]

Well, that was a 4-minute buzzkill.

 

[L K]

What an abysmal PP.  In the last minute there was a stretch where the forwards didn't come back across center ice while the puck was stuck in the Leafs zone.

And now a wonderful Hunwick special

1-0 Flyers

 

[ZBBM]

Hunwick, ugh.

 

[Al14]

Just poo D effort there!

 

[Arn]

I'm pretty sure the Flyer won the opening face off of that 4 minute penalty kill back with his glove which should have been a penalty.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

I'll forgive them the PP because they've been electric recently, but the effort on the backcheck was atrocious.
