![]() Riley Sheahan - Derrick Brassard - Phil Kessel Jake Guentzel - Sidney Crosby - Connor ShearyĬarl Hagelin - Evgeni Malkin - Patric Hornqvist Oh ew Roman Polak they’ll all say, but it’s a tough opponent so Connor Carrick sits, otherwise it’s the usual defenders.įreddie starts, because this isn’t a back to back. Turtleneck Pleks is off to a rough start in Toronto, hopefully tonight he can turn things around. No Matt Martin again, hopefully he enjoys his final few months with the Leafs, and is ready to move on July 2nd. I’ll toss my name into the ring with the others wanting to see Nylander centre Kapanen. The Leafs are still giving Nylander a shot at centre, rather than the Marleau experiment - and Hyman is still stapled to that first line. The long delay between games is nice for the injured players, at least. Josh Leivo - Tomas Plekanec - Kasperi KapanenĪuston Matthews is still injured, though he’s in practice wearing a non-contact jersey. James van Riemsdyk - Tyler Bozak - Connor Brown ![]() ![]() Patrick Marleau - Nazem Kadri - Leo Komarov Zach Hyman - William Nylander - Mitchell Marner Being technically correct is the best way of being correct. Not that I’m saying the Leafs are a better team, the Penguins have some of the greatest players right now on their rosters, but I can be technical and say they’re a better franchise. The Penguins are currently leading the Metro division with 82 points, which his nice and all but the Leafs are third in the Atlantic with 85. So the Maple Leafs are in Pittsburgh, taking on the back to back Stanley Cup champions, on a four game losing streak that so far includes two games where the Leafs gave up five goals (losing to the Capitals 5-2 and an embarrassing loss to the Sabres 5-3). Watch: CBC, CBC.ca, NHL Live, Sportsnet, Sportsnet Now, ATTSN-PT, NHL Network, City-TV Toronto Maple Leafs vs Pittsburgh Penguins I thought it was the NHL’s usual momentum killing playoff gaps, but no it’s just a momentum killing gap in the middle of the worst part of the season, between the traded deadline excitement and the playoffs, where we’re all just yelling at the season to end already and take us to the fireworks factory. So apparently the Maple Leafs just had a four day long gap between games in March.
