This is going to be a tough one.  Campbell will have to be at his best, I bet.

I would prefer to see Liljegren in for Dermott.

How awesome is it that Liljegren seems like a legit NHL defenseman?

I would prefer to see Liljegren in for Dermott.

I get you don't want to nerf trade value on Dermott and Holl but at this point they aren't going to hold massive value.  I think the back and forth and sitting of Liljegren is more detrimental to the team than the lost asset recoup from trading a Dermott who is scratched.

Keep in mind that Liljagren just came out of COVID protocol after a long layoff. He might not be quite at game speed yet.

Don't get all perfectly reasonable with me...I prefer to remain outraged and unconvinced that your suggestion is realistic.

I'd like to see Joey Anderson in rather than Ritchie. Maybe Keefe thinks the waiver thing will serve as motivation?

GO LEAFS GO!

Maybe there hoping that he has a decent game so they can trade him. He is a waste of space. Dubas has made so many good moves but I scratch my head at Foligno and Ritchie.

Edmonton now has 11 players in COVID protocol.  Protect Matthews.

Didn't they already have a whole bunch of their team in protocol?

Get aboard the herd immunity train. Nobody gets left behind. ?. ?Aaaaaall aboard!?

I Hear The Train A-Comin'; It's Rollin' 'Round The Bend,
And I Ain't Felt My Freedom Since I Don't Know When,
I'm Stuck in Covid Prison And Time Keeps Draggin' On.
But That Train Keeps A-Rollin'
On Down To San Antone.

I Coughed On A Man In Reno Just To Watch Him Die.
When I Hear That Whistle Blowin'
I Hang My Head And Cry.

Not generally a Johnny Cash fan, but that's a good one.

Go Leafs Go!

Hopefully the Leafs have shed the rust from inaction and can get clicking tonight. I've been looking forward to this one, it's just not the same game-watching experience without the live crowd. I'm glad they're on a road trip.

Go Leafs Go!

Anyone else see this as a tad blurry, or could it be my over indulging?
