GDT Toronto Maple Leafs vs Columbus Blue Coats

Well its nearly 4pm so I will make this thread even though I do not have the best record with GDT.

We have picked up 2 points over the last 2 games and have not looked that good while doing that. Phil Kessel continues to be Phil Kessel and that 1st line is following his performance but the secondary scoring has not quite been good enough.

Columbus needs points as they are only 3 pts behind Detroit and have taken us out the two previous times we playes this season which include 5-2 and 6-0 scorelines.



No morning skate for the boys today so lets see how that impacts the usual slow start, also no word on who is in net but I would hope JR gets the start tonight.
 
Reimers probably starting, well probably go with 7 D, maybe Bolland gets in?? But most likely not. Lets hold a lead this time.

This is a home game, so I hope this helps a bit. We've been terrible on the road this season.

And after blowing away points vs. NYI and MTL, there's no more excuse to give away points tonight. We need this win and we've gotta take it. Too many teams breathing down our neck, and OTOH after the first round loss vs. the Bruins we should be super motivated to challenge for the 3rd seat in the conference instead of the wildcard spot, so we can draw easier opponent in round 1.
 
Weird to read the Jackets board and see that many view us as a team there is no excuse not to beat. Times are a' changin.

Johansen's having a really good season. BJs have pretty impressive depth too, with decent enough game-breaking talent (Johanesen, Gaborik on the right day). No walkover anymore.
