Game Notes

WPG
?Hutchinson (17-7-3, 2.30 GAA, .920 Sv%) will start for the Jets

TOR
?Bernier will start for the Leafs
?Lupul will return to the line-up for the Leafs
?Brandon Kozun will sit in his place because you just can't have goal scorers in the line-up at this time of year
?No lines at practice as it was just optional, so I'm not sure where Lupul will actually slot into the line-up

I'll update this soon, just wanted to get it up in case people had anything to say (Go Tankers Go!).

Bernier starts, and it sounds like Lupul will be back in the line-up.

Unless he slips on some ice. 

The Leafs have no wind left in their sails.  i expect them to whither quickly in this one and the fans to respond accordingly.

Brandon Kozun will come out tonight with Lupul returning. Peter Horachek said it was a difficult decision given Kozun's play last night.

Horachek's taking the tank to a whole new level. Wanna score a goal? You'll be sitting the next game.

He's lucky he didn't get two, he'd be back in the AHL.

"You see that performance by Kessel and JVR last night Brandon?  Take note, that's what it takes to stay in this lineup...take a seat kid."

I would sit Kozun to showcase a trade bait.

I'd prefer Lupul to stay hurt for the rest of the season TBH.

As if you needed any mor evidence that Rogers has ruined HNIC, they let the guy, who did those amazing music montages at the beginning of each show last season, go this week.

They're running with the horrible clips/gritty movie voiceover guy  intro's they've had this season.

Just awful.

I just pray that MLSE has the cujones to stay the course over the next 3+ years and that they don't let media pressure and most probably Bell and Rogers pressure to improve the team so tv ratings will increase. Rogers is apparently taking a hit on Canadian tv ratings as a whole so they are going to have to give some free or discounted ads to make up for the promised 20% increase in viewership they promised advertisers.

A true Leaf fan knows this is the only real way to aquire elite talent and I hope they remember that in the next years.

Yep. Ever since they admitted hiring Healy and Stock to annoy a segment of viewers it's been one more joke after another.

Turned it on late, what exactly are we honouring here?

Homecoming apparently.

 

[brothert]

i was hoping it was the starting lineup. i think they could give the jets and us a better game tonight than the current roster

... oh, so like just random guys who were in the area then?

George Armstrong and Syl Apps added to that Legends Row thing.

Hey, anyone know if Dustin Byfuglien provides a physical presence on the Winnipeg blueline? I really hope they talk about that at some point during the broadcast.

I actually prefer the manufactured controversy of Maurice saying "drive-by shooting".

I think tonight will focus on his versatility given that he's playing forward.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

That Little Lad on Winnipeg is a good player.

Clarkson on the PP over Panik.

This is a recording.
