Game Notes​

FLA -Sergei Bobrovsky will likely start for the Panthers -I had to take a break in between typing out the list of Florida's injuries. That's tanking done right

TOR -Joseph Woll will likely start for the Leafs -Stand by for the morning skate to find out if rookies Villeneuve and/or Tverberg find their way into the line-up for this game -This will be Toronto's biggest must-lose game since the Matthews tank year. One of Toronto and Florida could easily find their way into the 5th last position in the standings, with this game likely deciding which team finishes lower

Both teams will be sending the puck side by side in the blueline with no one trying to advance...

Florida answers back with…

Obviously the draft lottery is going to do heavy lifting for anyone from 4th to 10th in terms of whether they finish bottom 5, but this is as must lose of a game as the Leafs have had all year.

I fully expect Jarnkrok to play and get top 6 minutes because we honestly might have the stupidest organization in the league.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I hope Villeneuve plays an uneventful 9 minutes.

There is NO WAY that is an actual person.

Berube will balk at game time and put Myers in.

 

[Kaberle15]

And why not remove Pezzetta and add in Tverberg ?

Tverberg might score

That Florida injury list is insane.

That Florida injury list is insane.

I know that Nylander is the kind of doing things his own way, but noone can convince me that he isn't hurt. He was banged up all year. He's showing absolutely none of his explosive speed.

We know Knies knee is banged up.

We know OEL has had about 15 different injuries.

McCabe has been hurt for chunks of the year and got noticeably worse in January after being hurt.

Take those 4 out of the lineup and that's basically the same list as Florida.

The fact that Florida is blatantly shutting down guys who are hurt and we are just continuing to play guys is yet another indictment on this franchise.

Rielly only has 5 points in his last 20 games and is +3. That's something.

Yes, we should actually be doing that, but, reasons

18 goals in the AHL this year!

So...Villeneuve in the lineup makes me want to watch, Jarnkrok instead of Tverberg makes me not want to watch. Game time decision, I guess!
