Game Notes

TOR
?Andersen (14-7-1, 2.71 GAA, .919 Sv%) will likely start for the Leafs
?New lines again! We saw Marner back up with Matthews at practice yesterday and the JVR-Bozak duo finally split up
?It seems like forever ago, but the JVR-Kadri-Komarov line was our top line in the tank year and actually looked pretty good before JVR unfortunately went down with an injury
?It'll be interesting to see how Toronto handles their match-up assignments tonight against Edmonton's top-9 forwards. Kadri has often gone head to head with McDavid

EDM
?Laurent Brossoit (0-3-1, 3.31 GAA, .881 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
?Starter Cam Talbot tweaked something in his upper body in Edmonton's last game and might be unable to play tonight
?The Oilers are still 3rd last in the league in points but they're 3-1 in their last 4 games
?Edmonton recently moved Draisaitl back to centre to give them a pretty strong 3 man group down the middle
?The recently acquired Mike Cammalleri might find himself in the pressbox after recording just 2 assists in 7 games for Edmonton, which included a short stint on the McDavid line

Injuries

?Nathan Horton - Back - Out indefinitely ?Joffrey Lupul - Actually Injured - Out indefinitely​

?Cam Talbot - Upper Body - Questionable Thursday ?Andrej Sekera - Knee - Injured Reserve​

I'm twitter inept.  I'm going to need more context.

Shanahan liked a tweet about Chiarelli's ineptitude.

Ah I see.  I guess I didn't see the goal so I don't know how it sealed a trade.

Laurent Brossoit?  Didn't he win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923?

Not sure.  I just hope he doesn't become "The guy who won the hockey game on November 30th, 2017".

Talbot's been placed on the IR so he's definitely out tonight.

I Liked the Kadri - McDavid Match last season.

This one should be fun.

Go Leafs go!!!

I know goalies can take a while to be NHL ready, but man, the Oil was REALLY patient with this guy's development curve.

I think the original joke was that RNH scored a good goal, so now Chiarelli would trade him for a second-pair defenceman.  Then Shanahan liked the joke about Chia being incompetent which in itself was 100x funnier.

Okay, now I get it.  So it's not that I don't understand twitter, it's just that I didn't find the joke funny.

Talbot on the IR: Upper Body (Feelings)

Babcock was just kidding about those lines yesterday:

Matthews missed practice with the cold, but will likely play.

Not "the" cold!!!  Now I'm worried.  If it was "a" cold then I'd be okay.  But "the" cold sounds like "the" plague.

Hope the Leafs can bank another two points tonight.

Looking for Brown to score, because apparently that's all he does   :

GO LEAFS GO

haha that's great. Shanny has a sense of humour, I'm Peter does as well. If you've got one of the thirty-one jobs available in the best league in the world most likely you do.

Go 9pm Leafs Go! The blue and white invasion continues out west. Should be a beauty!

I like you DCB. You're always cheerful and positive in GDT.

Y-you're not ACTUALLY Connor Brown are you?
