Tonight the Leafs take on the New York Islanders in a big eastern conference matchup. Despite all the negative reports on the Leafs, of all the teams fighting for a spot the Leafs have done extremely well since the All Star break. Teams that have been dropping are the Habs, Canes and Rangers. The Leafs with a strong finish have a legitimate shot at the playoffs, and a possible shot at even as high as a 4th place seeding.
Recent record against Isles suggest the Leafs will win this one...Leafs are 6-0-1 in the last 7 meetings against Isles. Have won 5 straight at home and are 15-3 in the last 18 matchups in Toronto.
Leafs should bounce back after two solid performances against Nashville(where they kept it close against the best team in NHL) and the great comeback against the hot Penguins on Saturday.

I hope so anyway, I just swapped DiPietro and recieved Raycroft and some prospects in my fantasy and this is the first game that both of them will be playing since. So this could make me look smart or like an idiot real quick.

I just spoke with Travis Green yesterday and he said the team will make the playoffs. So I guess it must be true then, why would he lie?

On a non-sarcastic note, DN, did you actually talk to Greenie? He just got a new phone number, so if you don't have it yet, let me know and I'll text it to you....

Yeah I have his new number...
As I said on the other thread, if Nik Antropov is in the shootout for your team, you know that your forward depth is extremely weak. Wow, that's just bad.

Good news is, we still have the Raptors and they are playing great. A young team that's getting better fast. They are winning IN Chicago right now...

Without the injuries the Leafs top three aren't that bad, but they aren't that good either. I'm assuming you'd go with:
Mats Sundin
Darcy Tucker
Kyle Wellwood

Yes and dont forget the Jays..Spring training starts soon....
Back to the leafs...
Played an amazing game just to be denied by Dipietro all night..All in all I am very happy with the way the team is playing right now...When you get 44 shots on goal and dont win the game, not much you can do..
GO LEAFS GO
