The St. Louis Blues are playing with a renewed confidence, having shut down a Western Conference power in coach Ken Hitchcock?s team debut.

The Toronto Maple Leafs? confidence level seems to be wavering a bit following a second straight lopsided defeat.  The Blues try to build on an impressive win Thursday night when they host the suddenly struggling Maple Leafs.

Sitting in 13th place in the West 13 games into the season, St. Louis (7-7-0) fired Davis Payne on Sunday and replaced him with the 59-year-old Hitchcock. The Blues responded to the wake-up call, defeating Central Division-leading Chicago 3-0 on Tuesday in the opener of a five-game homestand.

Keys to success:

-  Don't allow St. Louis to shoot.
-  Don't take ANY penalties
-  The first and second line MUST produce
-  It would be nice to get a goal from the 3rd line.


If all of that happens we have a good chance tonight fellas!

That would be awesome to see the final stats, shots on goal Toronto 25, St. Louis 0
 
Without looking it up this very moment I wonder what the lowest shots against has ever been in an NHL game. Surely the Leafs against NJ in the playoffs several years back has to be close.
 
Key to success:

Don't let in any bad goals!! That means you Jonas. No softies!!

Edit: And DON'T handle the puck unless they shoot it at you!

Theme for the night "The Leafs need a Hero".
 
I will begin with the tradition of Airing of Grievances.
I have a lot of problems with this team. Now, you will hear about it.

Wilson, my friends tell me your goalies stink!

I lost my train of thought.

How many was that again?  6?
 
Just game 16 yet I find it has this encompassing sense of doom about it... as if our season is on the line or something. It can't be, can it? I'm fairly sure I will but I almost don't want to watch.  :-\

Good teams bounce back from games like the last two we have had. so i think tonights game is very big.
 
I don't know if this is the team's bounce back game. St. Louis just underwent a coaching change and that can often lead to a big boost for a team searching for direction and they played pretty well against Chicago.

I say 4-2 Blues. I'm going to say Phaneuf and Lombardi with the Leafs goals.
