Wondering when new coach is going to give Reimer a start. Bernier was awful the last game.

I am a little disappointed that Carrick is out.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

So many back-to-backs.

 

[Arn]

Looking forward to seeing if there's any further hints or signs of changes to systems or improvement in general.

 

[Rebel_1812]

bozak back with kessel; queue the fire coach threads.

Game two. Game one kessel looked "Awful'

I would rather Komorov over Winnik.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So many back-to-backs.

Your Saturday night just opened up my friend.

 

[Deebo]

So many back-to-backs.

They aren't playing tomorrow.

There another one Wednesday and Thursday of next week.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

THEY DON'T PLAY TOMORROW!?!?

This is bs.

They do have a lot of back-to-backs though.

 

[Redleaf]

Columbus is a very beatable team.With a little luck they should win this one.

Of course, the only 'luck' they've had lately has been bad, so...

I hope kessel plays better. unfortunately last game he was not "on"

 

[Highlander]

time for my valium.  Wish Komorav was on LW with Kessel, also disappointed about Carrick.

 

[ZBBM]

They lose tonight and Horachek should get the hook.  Then give Spott 2, Staios 2, bring back Eakins for 2, etc.  That way we can evaluate the players under a wide spectrum of coaches.

 

[moon111]

Let's see if Gardiner can improve upon his -4 in the post Carlyle era.

It's ok though.  The Leafs get a lot of back to backs because they insist on playing every Saturday night...except for all those times that they don't.

Wow that statement was educational. Anyways I hope the get a better out come this evening.

 

[freer]

I am surprised that Gardiner is in tonight, after the last game I expected Holzer in!

Very beatable? Aren't they on something like a 14-2 run? Foligno at a ppg? Bobrovsky playing lights out? Yeah this should be a cakewalk.
