After a solid effort against Ottawa I was looking forward to more of the same tonight leading to a win. Then I read this quote from DFH on the Post Caps site:
“Roman’s a veteran; he’s been around a long time and we need him back in there,” Hunter said. “He moves the puck, passes really well. We need him there to block shots. He’s one of the best shot-blockers, so he should give us a lift tonight.”
This is a game where I wish we had vintage Simon, Hunter, Tinordi, Holt, May, Stevens, Berube, Peat, Sheehy, and Kaminski in the lineup. If we can't score might as well beat the **** out of them. Should be a closer one since it is at home, but here's to hoping we give Leaf fans something to complain about.

Based on the highlighted bit, 5-2 Leafs
God damnit. Has he seen Hamrlik play this year?
Hopefully we keep the intensity we played with in Ottawa the other night. Hopefully they keep the big three together and Ovi keeps going hard to the net.
I swear if I see Carlson and Alzner are split, I'm not gonna watch cause I have no idea who is coming up with these line combinations.
I swear the Capitals are the only team that will split their 2 best defense man that have been together through out their professional career and put them with guys that have miscues all the time against top lines. Defenseman aren't meant to be depth pairings, put your 2 best together and keep it like that, learn from the Red Wings, they weren't **** without Lidstrom-Rafalski together last year.
