Haha, I honestly can't believe some Leafs fans actually think that. Like even a big homer would understand, but I guess not. It's just as funny as Habs fans last year claiming Subban > Karlsson.
Remember Schenn vs Subban vs Karlsson in the poll board? LOL

At least that was before last season, I think. Habs' board was adamant that Subban was better even when Karlsson was 20+ points ahead of the next defenseman. That takes homerism (is that a word?) to a whole another level.
Anyways, we better pay a lot of attention to Kessel. He always plays well against us, and please not a lot of PPs for the Leafs, I hope. I think that's where the game might be decided.
Interesting stat of the day:
Leafs - 1st in the NHL in PP-PK time
Sens - 26th in the NHL in PP-PK time

Don't worry, Kessel has been struggling a lot lately. Probably won't need to worry scoring. Him and his whole 2 goals
Gunnarsson and Gardiner both played top 4 minutes last year.. Gardiner had a couple 10 game stretches where he played 25+ mins a night.
Obviously you guys have it worse but we still have a bunch of injuries to key players.
flowzie, as i'm sure you now know from seeing the thread I posted on the main board, we're a gonchar injury away from paying our injured players more than our entire playing roster.
Ottawa's penalty killing better be good. The game against Carolina was the first game where the Leafs had less powerplays than their opposition this year - no surprise there, either.
We are going to get a beatdown reminscent of the days we used to beat the Leafs by a touchdown. This one's going to hurt in a big way. Ottawa can't even out-tough them, they're superior in every way except for the net right now.

Sometimes in net is all that matters in some games ... have some ****ing faith people.
Both teams are riddled with injuries. We may not have a Spezza or Karlsson out with injury but we do have Lupul, who had amazing chemistry with kessel and was PPG last year, Frattin who has shown his scoring touch with 7 goals so far this year, Reimer who has looked very good so far this year, Gardiner is playing in the AHL to get him back to before his concussion, and Gunnersson is out who is probably our best steady defenseman. It sucks with your loss of Spezza and Karlsson but we are without important players too.
Lmao. I wouldn't trade Karlsson for your entire team and you're trying to compare injures.
