QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

“I think it says a little bit more about our team from a grit, a togetherness, and all around just being able to stick with it being down a goal and stand up for one another. I think that says a lot against a team like that, obviously.” 

 

— Vincent Trocheck following his 2-goal performance against the Bruins

[Ozzy]

We owe these ass hats a good beating tonight!!!  Let's kick some ass!!!

[4EverRangerFrank]

GDT GIF to LOL - now I can't get PitBull out of my head and hear the music playing non-stop. 

 

LFGR!

[LindG1000]

Time to make Steve Dangle cry.

[Sharpshooter]

Hopefully the last meeting is still fresh in their minds and they know better to get off to a good start. The game felt like it was over just a few minutes in.

[Keirik]

i hope they remember how freaking cocky the Leafs were all over the Garden ice last time. 

[jsm7302]

Really want Quicky to start and want to see Zibby get a hatty.

[Dunny]

I sucked a lot of wang to get the corporate tix for this one. I'll be watching from my hotel room. lol.

[Valriera]

Time to see if last game was a fluke or not

[Kick save and a beauty]

Good test tonight against a team who convincingly slapped us around very recently and one who we might possibly see in the conference finals if things break the right way.

 

Please let them be ready to play tonight from the drop of the puck in the first period this time.

 

Igor you have earned a lot of leeway with your play over the last few years but the amount of leeway that remains is not as much as it was.  Go pitch a shutout and stop effing around.

 

[Ozzy]

If I remember correctly, we were still in that game going into the 3rd.  That shit call to put them on the PP where they scored took the wind out of us a bit, and then it was pretty much over.

 

But I kept thinking, going into that 3rd that were gonna win that game.

 

Tonight, we stick it to Mitch the Bitch, and his Leaf buddies!

[RJWantsTheCup]

Missing tonight's game, Friday's & Saturday's.  Don't think I've ever missed 3 games in a row since I started watching hockey in 1977.

No kidding, nothing would be sweeter than beating them at home.

 

The defense from last Saturday and then some will need to show up, including Shesty, for that to happen. They'll need to slow the game down. Otherwise Toronto will run them over with speed, like they did at the last time they played.  LGR, blow the leaves off the ice....

 

PS: This game is in Toronto, right? GDT states MSG...

[Albatrosss]

6-1 Toronto

Zibanejad clears the zone

5-3 someone

 

@Albatrosss almost gets a quote of the gdt runner up

[mbob]

Laf got to net one tonight. 

[Karan]

Expecting a much stronger defensive effort from the Rangers compared to last week.

With that in mind, 4-2 Leafs.

[siddious]

Should be 2-0 rangers.

 

gotta capitalize on chances against a team like Toronto 

[mbob]

Love the transition game, really pushing up quickly as soon as they get control. 

[delneggs]

Cuylee came to play tonight.
