I see this one as a big, big test for Jonathan Bernier. His numbers show it, but this is one of those big game showdowns with another elite goalie that could really start to cement his reputation.
And it would be a sweet time for the 2nd line to have a big game.
Leafs could win their 4th in a row tonight - something they have yet to accomplish this season. A win here would not only get us to within 4pts of the Habs in the standings, but would lift us out of the mess of bubble teams and likely have us back in 5th spot in the East. Would really help to turn around the negative narrative going on around the team lately - you wouldn't know that the Leafs have been winning at a 101pt clip over the last 13gms, or are on a 3gm win streak, by the stories the media and bloggers are telling lately.
Anyways, big game.
