NJ
•Vitek Vanecek (27-6-3, 2.50 GAA, .908 Sv%) will likely start for the Devils
•It took a little while but Timo Meier finally made his post-trade deadline Devils debut on the weekend. He scored 1 goal in just under 16 minutes of ice-time against the Coyotes

TOR
•Ilya Samsonov (22-8-2, 2.39 GAA, .915 Sv%) will likely start for the Maple Leafs
•The Leafs will be without 2 key forwards for this game with ROR going on the LTIR and Tavares "not feeling great"

Not getting the 'warm and fuzzies' about this one . This could be lopsided in the wrong direction.

Hope I'm terribly wrong

Go Leafs go !

[Guilt Trip]

Leafs dominate and win and Twitter calls for Dubas' head for not trading JT and ROR at the deadline when he had the chance!
Time for Bunting to get his head out of his @ss too.
GLG.

Getting a little concerned with Bunting ....
We need all the help we can get on left wing.

Going to agree with you on this one. Unless Samsonov has a great game I don't see a win.

I'll be interested to see lafferty as 2nd L center. He's got a lot more speed than Tavares, and might actually be a better option 5 on 5.

That line will be all right.

[Bender]

The team looks a lot worse sans ROR/Tavares...

Sigh.  I really hope that standard applies to others.

Where's this same accountability with Morgan Rielly? Maybe I'm in the minority here but I almost think it's time to reallocate his cap hit for a true #1D... I think he doesn't look good.

You're not alone.  If you had to make a choice (which Dubas didn't) I would have preferred keeping 38 and you know actually letting their investment play out.

Liljegren may be the most under appreciated dman on the club.

Liljegren may be the most under appreciated dman on the club.

Aside from Rielly, ya.

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

Jeez, Nylander tries to take out Samsonov in warmups.

[Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate]

ILya looks OK!
