Toronto Maple Leafs

[2014olympicgold]

Andersen from game 1-21 (last game November 28)
21GP, 14-7-0, 0.932%, 2.26GAA

Andersen from game 22-56 (since December 1st)
35GP, 21-8-5, 0.908%, 3.07GAA.

He looks hurt now, exhausted maybe? I thought when the team was hit with the flu bug he had it, maybe he's not recovered fully from it?

I wouldn't be surprised if Woll takes the starting job with the Marlies right away. I'm super high on this kid...

They just rode Andersen too hard... they should rest him a bit more leading up.
Normally, he shits the bed in oct. - not so much this year, hopefully he's starting to slide out of it??
There have been glimpses or return to form.
Are we really missing Gardiner THIS MUCH?? Argument being made.

I'm less confident playing Boston this year than I was last year.
I hope I'm wrong, but Leafs just haven't been good for two months.

JT hasn't resulted in even a point gain over last year. As great as he's been...
he hasn't improved the bottom line.

It maybe just that they really haven't had anything to play for. Their playoff match with Boston has been pretty much set for a while now.

....but they can't lose to Ottawa again tonight. Can they??

Jinxed

[Hunter9]

According to leftwinglock, Andreas Johnsson not in lineup. Healthy scratch tonight?

[Dennis]

He's ill. Muzzin is as well but he was listed as a game-time decision last I saw.

"Paul Hendrick" - @HennyTweets (verified account) has the Leafs lines as:
Hyman-JT-Marner
Kapanen-Matthews-Nylander
Marleau-Kadri-Brown
Ennis-Goat-Moore

Rielly-Hainsey
Dermott-Zaits
Rosen-Marincin

Andersen

wow... Fred-Ex shows up for once!! Solid W right there

And now if they can pull off a little streak here then the last few weeks won't really matter. Going into the playoffs hot is all that matters.

[Dennis]

Better to lose in March than in April.

If Andersen plays any of the next 2 games, OMG I'm gonna be upset. Give him Montreal so he doesn't go 10 days without a game, but give him some rest.

Matthews with his foot now, Hainsey with his age, and the sickness going through the team, they gotta start resting players.

Dress them maybe, but gotta dial the minutes back. Especially on a guy like Hainsey. He's looked slower again as of recent.

Sparks will go tonight.. he could get another start. Be nice if he did. It would have him more game ready if Freddy were to get injured early vs. Bos. Having Sparks find a rhythm just in case is not a bad thing.

Leafs have an outside shot at home ice vs. Boston. It is very unlikely but it is still a possibility.

Has anyone seen the video floating around twitter of the NYI fan that blew up on Tavares while he was in the penalty box? The guy was fuming. You can even see tears in his eyes at the end of the video. If I were Tavares I would have smiled and winked at him.

he's feeling a bit 'snake'bitten after Tavares walked out with the W and the GWG.
