I don't get why we are healthy scratching Dermott when the third pairing is starting to build chemistry, and looking solid

just sign David Ayres for the backup position...He has never lost a game

Did they place Campbell on LTIR? Which would mean he’s out a min 24 days. That sucks

No they haven't done it.

Well if Dermott is scratched they can only play 11 forwards, right? Or am I wrong

leafs dont have a back to back for about a month or so and after saturday they dont play til thursday so thats good news for fred

Yeah I'm with you on this one. I see that Lehtonen was called up though so I assume they're going with 7D tonight. It'll be interesting if anyone challenges Tkachuk tonight. I don't think he caused the injury but I believe he for sure fell on him on purpose, that's the type of player he is. Seeing as there's a renewed focus on team toughness or at least appearing so.

Simmonds is definitely fighting Mathew tonight, book it!

I hope you're right!

So excited to see Hutch back in the Leafs lineup...

I doubt it, Tkachuck just won't drop the gloves, he's going to try to goad the Leafs into it though. I'd sooner see an unexpected leaf catch with a big hit. How awesome would it be if Nylander or Marner just light him up with a good hit. He'd ****ing lose his mind and then Simmonds would get a chance to step in.

Only Leaf player to light someone up is gone. Miss Naz

Muzzin is a better hitter

Better sure he mentioned two forwards but ya Muzzin is.

The two I mentioned would be so out of the blue though. Just imagine Tkachuk skating up the ice and seeing Nylander and just ignoring him only to get absolutely blown up? It'll likely never happen but if it did, it would be the best ever.
