Game Notes

PHI
?Elliott (11-8-1, 2.59 GAA, .916 Sv%) will likely start for the Flyers
?The Flyers are a desperate team right now. They're 10th in the East and 5 points behind Columbus for the WC2 spot
?Prior to Thursday, Philly was 6-1-1 in their last 8 games and making up ground in the playoff race. But a loss to Washington on Thursday plus a potential loss to Toronto could put them down for good
?Voracek will return to the line-up after serving a 2-game suspension that the Philly organization was none too pleased about

TOR
?Andersen (33-14-4, 2.68 GAA, .920 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?None of the injured or sick Leafs were at practice on Thursday. Babcock was hopeful that Hyman would be over his sickness by Friday but there's no guarantee
?Looks like we might be getting another Justin Holl sighting, although that pairing at practice did some rotating
?Boston dropped their 3rd game in a row on Thursday, so for a 3rd straight game the Leafs have a chance to get within 2 points of the Bruins

Injuries

?Michael Neuvirth - Lower Body - Injured Reserve​

?Travis Dermott - Shoulder - Injured Reserve            ?Jake Gardiner - Back - Injured Reserve ?Kasperi Kapanen - Concussion - Out indefinitely ?Zach Hyman - Flu - Questionable Friday​

I wonder how Bruins fans are handling losing 3 games in a row in regulation for the second time this season. I wouldn't know the feeling it hasn't happened to the Leafs yet .

(please nobody reply to this post if we lose tonight in regulation).

What usually happens after a crazy long run of wins/points is a dip of regression.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

I hope they win, but with the substantial injuries and illness, I've got far less "sky is falling" in me than the general tone of the talking heads.

As it stands, with the injuries, if one was to put together a list of the best and worst team defence in the league - would the leafs be comfortably in the bottom 10? I'd certainly think so. Gardiner and Dermott are massive subtractions.

The high octane offense has been trapped in their own end trying to get the puck out since they went down. That's one hell of a handicap. The team will be fine.

Translation: Babcock is tired of Ozhiganov

It?s time for:
Rielly-Hainsey
Muzzin-Holl
Marincin-Zaitsev

Hainsey masterfully chipping this answer off the glass and out.

I have a feeling the boys have something to prove this evening! I am expecting a whole lot of scoring from the boys in blue and white.

Go leafs Go

I want to see this line Johnsson-Matthews-Nylander intact for the rest of the season. I do not want Hyman back on that line.  Let them do their magic act and fly around the OZ.

Hyman has been with Tavares and Marner for pretty much the whole season.

Ok, thanks on that, who has been playing LW for Matthews then?

It's varied, but he's spent 89% of his ES TOI with at least one of Marleau, Kapanen or Johnsson.

I guess I have been having to many Koolaid Margarita's or that Marleau has been next to the invisible man

FTFY

 

[Kaberle15]

I can't handle another slow start by the Leafs.

Hammer the Flyers!

 

[herman]

Visually, this will be a hideous game to watch.

 

[Zee]

I'll be at Jersey Boys tonight and missing the game.  I fully expect to come back to craziness in the thread.
