Leafs @ Hurricanes - Dec. 18th, 7:00pm - TSN4, TSN 1050

I doubt if anyone remembers this but a few years back we were chasing a playoff spot and playing well and went down to Carolina for a game in late Feb and Weekes, their b/u at the time, shut us out.  I think that was one of those years we missed the playoffs by a point or two.

That's what this game smells like, y'all.

I don't want to say you're remembering wrong, but Weekes was only a Hurricane from 2001-02 to 2003-04 and his last shutout in the NHL was in 2003-04.

I just didn't want to say it!

Well, if you have to get into a stretch on the road I guess this is the team to do it against. Shame about the Tlusty-Liles injuries because I'd imagine it's not too often you see a team with 5 ex-Leafs on the team including three defensemen.

It always amazes me that Jay Harrison is an everyday NHLer. Never thought he'd be any more than a #7 guy or that he would still be in the league after 30 (Also: holy crap Jay Harrison is 32 years old). Putting up 20-ish points a season too lately which isn't bad for a defenceman like him.

He was just traded to the Jets for a 6th round pick.

Poor guy. I must have jinxed him by mentioning his existence.

I don't see the family until the weekend so no. But when I do...sufganiyot, watch out!

It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

If you guys have any secret ingredient you'd care to share, I'd love to hear it.  My wife is like 1/4 MOT so we are kind of on Honorary Secular Jewish Family but we do own a dreidl and a cool toy-building-block Menorah and eat latkes & applesauce every year during Hanukkah.  I love it.

I've never actually made them myself, but, I like eating 'em with smoked salmon, red onion and capers.

Anything on Polak for this evening

@jonasTSN1050

Randy Carlyle said that Roman Polak may return tonight. Hadn't made decision yet.

 

[Arn]

If Polak comes in, it's likely for Gardiner, right?

 

[Stickytape]

The Leafs lead the league in shooting % (or, as I like to call it, "Carlyle For") at 11.41%. 

Carolina is dead last at 6.94%.

Carolina is dead last at 6.94%.

But they'll outshoot us 44 - 26 and win 3.05-2.97

Based on the warmup, appears Korbinian Holzer will come out as Polak goes back in.[/quote]

really dude. Shhhhhhhhh.

 

[freer]

Polak is back. I really wish they would of taken Gardiner out instead of Holzer

 

[freer]

Strange. Kessels line was on for like 15 seconds for the first shift

 

[ZBBM]

Cuthbert's call of the Bernier save just makes me wonder why HNIC let him go.  He's good.

 

[herman]

We're making the Hurricanes look good.

 

[lamajama]

Is it goofy to think that if they actually beat these guys by a comfortable margin they might be an ok team??

 

[freer]

That was awful soft for a call. WAKE the hell up LEAFS
