Okay okay..... My hats off to Leafaholic99 for posting the following info further down in the thread. I am putting it here in the opening post so everyone can get what they are used to, but I am not taking any credit for it - I admit that I cannot do what he has done.

All info/lines comes from TSN Ice Chips and this opening post will be updated if the lines change leading upto game time.
 
The Coyotes should have moved.

And the city of Phoenix should be disbanded.  It's an environmental monstrosity.
 
How the Coyotes win with their piss poor roster is beyond me.  Dave Tippett is a genius coach.  One I immediately wanted when he was turfed in Dallas.  If he is ever on the market, I take out whoever we have as a coach at the time (unless named Mike Babcock) and send them on their way.



 
More than anything I would like to see a hard fought full-out effort for 60 minutes. I would prefer this even over a 'lousy win' where they play sloppy and get lucky against a goalie having an off-night. Those are fun but if that's their gameplan to get into the playoffs they're doomed.

Solid effort for the full game would be nice.... heck it might even be the first one of the year if it happens.

 
Very evenly matched teams in offence, the PP and win%.

So far, Phoenix has given up nearly a goal a game less than the Leafs this season (10th in GAA vs 27th) with one of the lower payrolls in the league. Their PK is 4th at 88.7% vs the Leafs who are 30th with 72.3% PK rate.

The trademark of Tippett's team in Phoenix has been defence. Off the scrap heap goalie Mike Smith has been hot with that good defence (.931 save%). They're capable of stifling the neutral zone like Boston, Florida and the Sens have done against the Leafs.

Phoenix has outscored the Maple Leafs 26-11 in winning the last five games they've played against each other, including 5-1 victory over Reimer at home in last season's only meeting.

This is as good a test as any to see if Wilson has made any progress in turning around his club's fortunes.
 
I think we'll win this one.

Finally get some contributions from the unlikely sources tonight like Frattin, Lombardi, Kulemin and Gunnarsson.

4-2 Leafs
 
Please just play a full 60 mins, and then I will be happy. If that happens they probably can win. I am kind of getting tired of the playing 20 mins and expecting to win.

Well, great, now that you've had a change of heart, the Leafs are definitely going to lose. :P
 
The Leafs haven't beaten the Coyotes since Oct. 23, 2003

Ok, we're due. Please ....  :)
