I was sad to hear Gio has the concussion I thought on Saturday he might have. According to SN, Lybushkin will be paired with Rielly tonight, Jarnkrok will be on the line with Tavares and McMann. Laljegren is a game time decision. Robertson and Lagesson are expected to be scratched.
I think this will be a hard game. Rangers are #1 in their division with 40 wins and 83 points to the Leafs 34 wins and 76 points.

I guess if there’s a bright side to Gio’s injury is that I’m assuming he’ll be good to go by playoffs, he’ll be well rested and his veteran presence could help.
As far as the game tonight our boys have to be ready from the get go. Rangers have a lot of talent top to bottom. I would be happier with Woll in net but I get why it’s Sammy. This is a team they could meet come playoffs. Realize it, embrace it and go out and kick some a$$. Wondering if Reavo causes some chaos with the Rempire State Building or Trouba? Just want to see a game where they compete hard. Not that much to ask for. Happy that Jarnkrok is back and Lily very close.
GO LEAFS GO!!!!

I agree that it’s going to be a very tough game tonight. Better be ready to go because the Rangers are definitely a good squad. We need to be firing on all cylinders. Gonna need a huge effort by Sammy. Looking forward to see if Reavo and Rempe drop the mitts. Rempe is a big boy so if it happens it will be a good one. GLG!!!

Nick Robertson being scratched tonight, could there be a clearer indication he has absolutely no future with the leafs. |

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him and perhaps Kampf being dealt. Love Robertsons shoot first mentality but don’t love seeing giveaways and getting pushed off pucks, losing board battles. Kampf is ok but I think his salary could be spent better elsewhere. Kempe is a big boy but not sure he’s a great fighter. Throws haymakers and leads with his face😁😵💫.

If they go I hope Reavo shows him what he has in his arsenal. |

I just want 2 points. Fights don't excite me much any more unless it's someone ( see a half dozen Florida Panthers and Marchand) who truly deserves a beating. The ranger kid is sadly doing what he can to stay in league. I don't see that need in today's league really. I don't want to see him and Reavo fight purely to see who is tougher. Now if Reavo beat the tar out of Cousins from Florida who deserves it then I'm cool with that.
Wonder if our team looks different this time next week?
Let's get 2 points

For sure the W is top of the list but I still love a good tilt! And yes wholeheartedly agree about those you mentioned that deserve a beatdown. Don’t think the kid will try anything stupid. Trouba on the other hand? Just compete hard. It’s all I ask. Do that and this team can beat anybody on any given night.

A follow up to Nick Robertson be scratched for todays game, he has actually been loaned to the Toronto Marlies. I know this move is more administrative and Robertson isn't going to the Marlies but I imagine the March 8 trade deadline can not come fast enough for him. |

I'm just not feeling it tonight. Leafs look way out of their class against the Rangers. But there's still two periods, so anything can happen I suppose.

Sammy should’ve had that second one.
Good response by the Leafs and Willie.
GO LEAFS!

Knies is a peculiar player, I just think he should be contributing more than he does.
He skates around like he’s inside a pinball machine, always bouncing off everyone, looking like he’s about to make a play, but then he loses the puck.
Seems to me that he’s gotta slow down a bit….that’s what I see anyway?

20 to go. Pretty even so far with Rangers lookin a bit better. Sammy still doesn’t instill any confidence. He’s made some good ones but still sweat every time the Rangers get the zone. Anyways playing well enough to get a win. Kill this PP to start the 3rd and go get it!!
