Game Notes

EDM
-Koskinen (1-3-0, 3.80 GAA, .897 Sv%) will likely start for the Oilers
-Things aren't going so well for Edmonton: they lost their season opener and recently lost back-to-back games in Edmonton against Montreal
-McDavid has started the season at a respectable pace, with 3 goals and 5 points in 4 games. Draisaitl also has 5 points, all assists
-Former Leaf Tyson Barrie has 2 assists in 4 games with his new team so far while averaging 21:36 of ice-time a game, 2nd most among Oilers defencemen

TOR
-Andersen (2-1-0, 3.31 GAA, .881 Sv%) will start for the Leafs
-The Leafs are expected to run the same line-up that earned them a victory against Winnipeg, meaning they'll stick with 11 forwards and 7 defencemen for now

Injuries

-Mike Smith - Undisclosed - Injured Reserve -Oscar Klefbom - Shoulder - Out for season -James Neal - COVID-19 Protocol - Out​

This one scares me a bit, Edmonton is due for a big game.

It'll be fun seeing Matthews and Tavares go head to head with Draisaitl and McDavid.

You mean Tavares vs. Turris.

Matthews hat-trick tonight.

 

[cabber24]

Coming off a couple of strong games for the Leafs. Let's not only dominate the play but also let's dominate the scoreboard. Thrilled to reduce the goal against the last couple of games.  Holl looks legit the last few. It would be nice to have some faith in the blue line for the first time in a while.

and....

GO LEAFS GO!

I feel like they always seem scary and end up being not as scary as we think.

Not sure which way to read this, Tyson!

I guess it's not that surprising but I didn't realize our record was so good against the McDavid-era Oilers.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

I'm looking forward to this amazing matchup of the NHL's two best players.

McDavid vs Holl.

Lets go.

Didn?t think I was going to get to watch this one but it?s on UK TV so here I am not getting enough sleep again

Have they changed ?all thy sons? to ?all of us? in the anthem?

Hadn?t caught that before

Yes few years ago now.

We just had a change to our (AUS) anthem.

Of course the boomers were outraged, even though the tradition they are trying to re-enforce only goes back to the 80s.

"Australians all let us rejoice, For we are one and free;"

It was changed from

"Australians all let us rejoice, For we are young and free;"

The original was thought to disrespect the 40,000 plus year history of the indigenous people.

The change is fair enough in my mind.

 

[BrownRolo]

Why is the nice so bad in Toronto? Richest team that has no problem spending money should have the best ice in the league.

Interesting stuff on both. Can?t believe I hadn?t picked up on it before.

Fun start to the game. Two offensive juggernauts with a combined 5 shots in 8 minutes but some really watchable hockey

Puck is made of flubber according to 34 & 19.
