Not gonna predict a score, but I see the Leafs flying high after last night's game, the rookie's scoring their first goals, the new lineup configuration, is going to overcome the back-to-factor with a big W.
- Zezel


they certainly have been trending in the right direction... even the loss to Colorado you could argue that they played a pretty solid game, they were very good against Dallas, and what's most encouraging (for me) is that they didn't miss a beat last night with Hainsey and Polak both out of the lineup.

Only lineup change I would like to see... is Komarov move to 4thLine Center, Matt Martin draws back in ... Dom Moore take a seat.

It's the one thing I absolutely franking love about driving in the US: they only drive in the left hand lane to pass.

It franking blows my mind.

And as soon as you cross the border, stupid Canadians are driving the speed limit in the far lane, oblivious to the traffic piling up behind them.

Drive in Alberta. What'seven worse is they have signs telling you left for passing and the cherry on top, radar detectors are legal.

It's huge that Andersen kept them afloat when they were struggling, grabbed them points by himself there. And now Dermott playing well has been massive, Kap being able to step in. Having a powerhouse Marlies team is paying off.

I'm not gonna lie, I freaked out a little bit when Rielly got hurt and they didn't have he nor Z. But they have been able to withstand injuries so far, even Matthews being out didn't send them into a spiral.

Two semi's driving side by side on a two-lane highway going the same speed is my personal favorite

I did a bunch of driving in Alberta and I remember driving in a blinding snowstorm on the Trans Canada, slowing right down and crawling along because it was brutal. Guys in 4x4 pickups kept honking at me and passing, as if I was being a Richard for driving like someone who doesn't want to die. Then I saw a few of those same vehicles face first in the snowbank in the ditch when I caught up to them down the road.

Not that there aren't morons like that anywhere, but wtf.

When I briefly lived in Ft. Mac and drove regularly to Edmonton, 9 of 10 vehicles in the ditch were big jacked up pick-ups or other big 4x4s. Just dummies that think they're invincible.

I wish the Steamwhistle Brewery would serve food - all they have is pretzels.

It would be a franking perfect place for pre-gaming - Jays and Leafs.

Did the tour last year with the wife. The tour guide was from the same small town as my wife so he thought he could hit on her all tour.

Worked out ok though because she was getting a lot of beer and just passing it to me. I walked out of there pretty hammered for $5 or $7 tour cost. Can’t remember what the cost was.

$7 is a pretty fantastic deal to get drunk and get out of your marriage.

We're 8th overall, a couple tweaks and who knows what could happen.

Only 2 outcomes possible, lose to bruins in 6 or 7. No other chance anything else can happen, even if they make some trades.

I think nobody wants to face them. They are young and ahead of schedule. No pressure to win, only gain experience.

This is why I think Vegas won't be held back by "playoffs are a different beast"... they are lightyears ahead of expectations and playing with house money.

i think theres some pressure to win, theres always pressure in TO. But yeah the age factor is huge. Matthews missed 10 games (i think) so he not going to be over worked. Zaitsev missed a ton, and Rielly a few too so our D should be well rested. Freddy is an absolute beast. Marner and Nylander are heating up and should be firing on all cylinders going into the post season.

I wonder if MIN would be interested in Gardiner for Staal? Jake can go back to his hometown and Eric can team up with Marleau and make sure the kids go to bed on time.. Then move Bozak to wherever idc... JVR lets get a 1st for him
