Game Notes

CHI
?Cory Crawford (1-0-0, 1.00 GAA, .976 Sv%) will likely start for Chicago
?Goals have been easy to come by for Chicago so far, they are tied for 1st in the league (with the Leafs) with 15 goals in their first 2 games. They scored 10 against Pittsburgh in their season opener and another 5 against Columbus
?Patrick Kane and Ryan Hartman each have 6 points in those 2 games. Nick Schmaltz looked to be doing just fine as that lines centre, scoring 3 points in those 2 games. But an injury will keep him out of the line-up against the Leafs. I'm assuming Anisimov will get bumped back up to that line

TOR
?Andersen (2-0-0, 3.50 GAA, .903 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?No word yet on if we see Moore and Rosen play again or if the rotation goes back to Fehr/Borgman

Injuries

?Nick Schmaltz - Upper Body - Out Monday
?Jordin Tootoo - Upper Body - Out indefinitely
?Michal Rozsival - Concussion - Out indefinitely
?Marian Hossa - Illness - Out for season
Code:
     
?Nathan Horton - Back - Out indefinitely
?Joffrey Lupul - Actually Injured - Out indefinitely

I hope the Leafs can shore up their defence.  To have what happened Saturday night versus the Rangers cannot repeat itself against a team like the 'Hawks, with Chicago's prowess. 

It won't be easy scoring the goals as it was in the previous two games, but fully expecting the Leafs to fire on in the offensive zone, and give Crawford & co., a few headaches.

GO LEAFS GO!

LOL!

this one will be tough for me, the Leaf fan in me wants the Leafs to win....but my favourite NHL player is Jonathan Toews....
a compromise--he scores/assists/lights up the Leafs for 4 or 5, but the Leafs score more :)
 
From practice:

Fehr goes back in for Moore. The 3rd pairing might be Borgman-Rosen as Carrick is a little banged up.

Chicago's back-up, Anton Forsberg, will start as they want to use Crawford tomorrow against Montreal. Forsberg was previously with Columbus and has put up very good numbers in the AHL the past 3 years (.923 Sv% in 126 AHL games) but struggled in his limited NHL showings (0.879 Sv% in 10 NHL games). The idea that they want to use their back-up against the highest scoring team in the league (7.50 GF/P) and their starter against the lowest scoring team in the league (1.0 GF/P) is interesting.
 
Sounds like they are looking for the guaranteed win on the back to back.

Edit: Turns out it's more of a homecoming for Corey Crawford

Probably in Montreal.
 
Ugh, another flukey goal. Pass behind the net bounces off Andersen's dropped stick. Gardiner could have put some more mustard on that pass though.

Unlucky goal, but still some sloppy defence there. Rielly let that guy skate around him a little too easily.

Sloppy defense but I would appreciate if the broadcasters wouldn't refer to the puck hitting the goal stick and going right to Panik as the Leafs losing a puck battle.
