  2. Svalbard38

    All I want tonight is for every player that steps on the ice to walk off under his own power with all bones and ligaments intact.

  3. throwaway___34

    I hope doomers realize that this game is meaningless and that a win is simply having zero injuries.

  4. Volderon90

    Win for Montreal is a win for us and gets them further from bedard. We win and it’s good as well

  5. LeafsRealist

    I’ll gladly take the L with no injures. Bedard would look awful in the blue white and red anyways.

  6. really dont see the point in playing matthews marner or tavares for this game. all it takes is one dumbfuck or one freak play and they are gone for the playoffs. just another one of many dogshit decisions by sheldon keefe

  7. I will have the gdt up just for muh real time updates, but likely will give most of my attention to the jets game tonight just cause it’s a good tight race

  8. Material-Fish-8638

    So Leafs are doing salary cup shenanigans for signing knies, but if we signed him tomorrow can he play in the playoffs? I don’t know how these rules work cause I saw that any players traded after the deadline can’t play.

  9. cappayne

    Saw this nugget in a Kings-Avs pre-game article:

    “The Kings (5-for-5) are one of five teams to be perfect in coach’s challenges this season: Calgary (7-for-7), Chicago (5-for-5), Philadelphia (5-for-5) and Toronto (6-for-6).”

  10. JRocleafs

    I bet I could pick 4 random people in this thread and it would make a better panel than anything sportsnet can put together
