Game Notes

TOR
?Campbell (11-10-3, 2.77 GAA, .904 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
?Based on how practice unfolded yesterday it appears as though Sandin will be a healthy scratch in favour of a Rosen-Liljegren bottom pair

SJ
?Jones (16-19-2, 2.99 GAA, .897 Sv%) will likely start for the Sharks
?Jones is coming off a shutout against Pittsburgh and has 2 wins in a row. It's the first time he's won back to back games since November 30th
?San Jose is set to miss the playoffs for the first time since the 14/15 season. They are 27th in the league in points, 28th in GF/GP, and 25th in GA/GP. They've also of course lost their 1st round draft pick to the sens in the Karlsson trade

Go Leafs Go!

 

[Andy007]

I am now fully expecting a Leafs win....which, of course, means:

Sharks 6  Leafs 1

 

[ZBBM]

I'll be taking roll call with precisely 3:00 to go in the 3rd.  We'll soon see who the REAL fans are around here.

All you suckers who don't do 24 hour call and won't be awake to see the end of this one.  Enjoy your sleep.

Semi retired,only work when I want to,afternoon nap, I'm good to go. ;D

Curious as to why Campbell would start this game and not one of the back to backs.  Perhaps he plays 2 out of the 3?

The plan is 2 out of 3 for Campbell.  Leafs 5-2 or 7 goals will be scored.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

Now that we have a legitimate back-up goalie we should get used to him starting in more than just back to back situations. It's maybe a tad weird to see him (likely) get 2 of the next 3 games but we're also on a road trip where Campbell is very familiar with the opposing teams/rinks/environments. I think that had more to do with it than anything.

I may just have woken up around then #GMTtimezoneloyal

You've already proven yourself over the years, Arn.

Great Job CtB, as always.

Hopefully the Leafs will do a great job tonight also. Go Leafs Go!!!

I'll be reading through this thread and watching the game recap in the morning - stupid other time-zones!

I am in that Stupid Time Zone as are all our BC colleagues. Respect PST!

 

[Hobbes]

I wonder if Sandin is sitting in part to help keep him under the game threshold that would burn a year off his UFA status (or does that apply to him?)

Seems unlikely. He?s have to sit out a lot more to not cross the 40 game mark, once playoff games are factored in. I think it?s more about giving him a bit of a mental break after a not great performance last game.

EDIT: The 40 game mark is for games on the roster, not in the lineup. Tonight counts toward that, regardless.

Oh...I'd thought that required him to be on the actual game sheet rather than simply being on the roster. I also hadn't realized that included playoff games as well. Good to know. Thanks

I'll be asleep when this game starts, so, you know.

Good Zee, there is hope for us after all. Sweet dreams and may all the goals be for the Leafs.
