Guess Ottawa would really really like us to win this one

 

[Stickytape]

Curious to see who steps up tonight and puts some points on the board.  The top line was hot Monday - can they keep it up?

 

[Zee]

Rangers will be desperate tonight and playing at home, not an easy game.  Need a huge performance from Reimer.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Recent history says we can beat these guys!

I'm hoping Kessel as a big game. I'd like to see get on a roll heading into the post season.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

i think last change is going to be a big deal in this one..that and of course the fact that really..the rangers can't afford to lose both against us.  so i'll be hoping for a win..but as long as we play well and nobody gets injured i think i'll be okay with this game..

 

[Redleaf]

"Only five Leafs skating this morning in NYC: Colborne, Gardiner, Frattin, Kostka and Scrivens. Project as the likely scratches."

 

[Boston Leaf]

id be thrilled to get one point anyway tonight

 

[Highlander]

Our future sitting on the sidelines....well they will have their time and soon...the important thing is to get a least one point out of this game....I hope someone rocks Nash and early (not to injure, just a good clean hit)

Only possible lineup change for the leafs tonight appears to be ryan hamilton in for joe colborne

So it appears Jake and Frattin will continue to sit and Orr and McLaren will remain in the line up... Rabble rabble rabble.

Hopefully they can keep Franson away from Nash or we will get to see Nash walk around him like he is standing still again.....

 

[Kaberle15]

Get at least 1 point tonight.

a win would be fantastic.

Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[Redleaf]

Go Leafs Go!!!

Agreed. 3 of 4 is good enough, ala the Boston back to back.
The extra 4th point would be gravy. GLG!

 

[freer]

I am expecting more of same as last game. I am hoping for the same result. Although IMO we play better on the road anyways.

3-1 leafs.

In the middle of March, the Canes had close to a 90% chance of making the playoffs. Then the wheels fell off. They have 0.3% of a chance now. The Rangers either play fairly desperate hockey tonight or they risk missing out of the playoffs. I expect a very tough game from them tonight and would be delighted if the Leafs can snag a point.

 

[crazyperfectdevil]

still kind of think ottawa should kiss our ass if we pull this one off

 

[Derk]

Yeah, I'm expecting the Rangers to take this one, but Go Leafs all the same!

 

[Optimus Reimer]

For some ridiculous reason ottawa fans want the Leafs to lose this one.  They would rather see their team not make the playoffs than if it means the Leafs lose.

 

[TheMightyOdin]

Forget Ottawa... How about winning to help Winnipeg.

 

[nutman]

lets hope we take another bite out of the big apple, were shooting for home ice now. I want at least 4th place.
