Frattin in for Brown?

Frattin in for Brown?

Forgot to update the projected lines from the last away game. I have them right now. It's still unknown if Frattin will play or not. Probably all depends on the morning skate.

 

[maplesyrup]

This is a pretty healthy Boston squad we're up against. I'm almost afraid to watch.

 

[princedpw]

6-1 Bruins.

How many more times do we play them this year including this one?

6-1 Bruins.

Three more. The other two games are March 23rd and 25th.

6-1 Bruins.

this year you play teams in your division 4 times each right?  so after this one..2 more

Yes, 2 more against Boston, although some divisional rivals play 5 times this year.  The Leafs got lucky with Boston.

 

[Highlander]

what about a little positive thinking?  Leafs 3 Boston 2

 

[TML fan]

Leafs have no chance. Well no, that's not true. If the entire Bruins lineup is currently out getting wasted, it should be a game.

 

[Jalili]

The good news is the Leafs are above par right now, so they can absorb a loss tomorrow.

If they can make it to OT against Boston I'd consider that gravy.

 

[hockeyfan1]

Don't expect the Leafs to win this one but they should be able to tangle with the Bruins in the fight & hitting department.

Can't afford the sloppiness shown in the Ottawa game.  Wish the Leafs had had an extra rest day.  Oh well, whatever the schedule & Boston throws us.  We're ready!!

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[drummond]

I am happy with baby steps - after last years numerous debacles, the 1-0 loss month ago represented that nice little step in the right direction. How about making another one and make it into OT or SO and bring a point from Boston. If Frazer or/and Colton beat a crap out of (insert your most hated Bruin player) it would be a massive improvemnet.

 

[Stickytape]

A game is a game and anything's possible.  No idea how this is going to turn out, but can't wait to see.

 

[L K]

Based off last nights sloppy defense, the Leafs are going to get destroyed.  I hope they were just looking past Ottawa once they got the big lead and just had the foot off the gas.  Boston won't give up 5 goals.

Even though I'm certain they're going to lose badly tonight, and even though it's as acceptable as such things can be, I'm pretty sure it's still going to piss me off a lot.

I really hope the Bruins take the Leafs lightly tonight.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

I really hope the Bruins take the Leafs lightly tonight.

That's their only hope, unless they play defense like they did against Pittsburgh and Boston the last time. Boston is probably the stingy- est team in the league as far as giving up goals. Leafs need to hit everything that moves tonight.

 

[nutman]

Wow! no faith in our leafs yet. you guys are in for yet another lesson in how good we really are. I am calling for a win, this team is for real.

 

[Kaberle15]

Hopefully the slop D played yestarday is the wake up call that they need to play some decent D tonight.

Go Leafs Go!

Destroy then!

 

[Boston Leaf]

Normally I don't care too much for the rough stuff. But this is one time if we are not going to win the game, I really hope we beat that tar out of them physically. I HATE the Bruins more than any team in hockey.

I think we lose 4-1
