  • Last meeting: Toronto defeated Buffalo 4-3 (OT) in Buffalo on Dec. 4, 2018

  • Jason Pominville (3+2) and Jeff Skinner (1+4) each enter tonight's game on four-game point streaks against the Maple Leafs.
  • Rasmus Ristolainen has recorded six assists in his last five games against Toronto.

There is an Air Canada Flight from Vancouver to Toronto that lands at 2pm. I hope Montour is on it. 

yeah would want leafs nation to see the guy they wanted dubas to trade nylander + 3rd round pick for.

Will have to watch the score from work, can't wait for first home game for montour though, I think the crowd will be pumped.

I hated that Rob Ray was talking up our great effort in our shootout loss to Tampa on Thursday, but we came out looking really good against the Caps. Tampa is the best team in the league, but at this point we need wins, not just garbage points.

 

Tonight's game will be that much more important. Plus I hate the Leafs and would love to beat them in their own barn. Hopefully Montour makes it in..

Have they said whether or not Montour would be available for this game? Would love to have him out there against the tree litterers as a little added salt in the wound. ?

I’m calling it now. Ray and/or RJ call him Minotaur.

It's clearly (and sadly) going to be Montador.

That would be an awesome nickname, we already have a Samson. Corner the market on mythological story names and creatures.

We’ve got Carter The Hut, R2D2, Bogo The Clown, and the Minotaur.

The team has said it and then so will I.  

Must win !

This is the division rivalry team to beat.  Since the Tampa game the team is playing with Confidence.

I would like to see someone punk Mr. Marleau for that boarding he did to Jack previous game. Oh yeah i haven't forgot and and I think that might be the base injury that jack has been playing though since.

Paging the raging Mr. Bogosian, please report as the disciplinarian, tonight.

So does anyone have a hat trick in him tonight? Doesn't matter to me as long as the good guys win..

Lets Go Buffalo. Win one on the road.

Obvious smoke screen.  ?

If this was the WWE he would come out as a surprise with entrance music and the announcers going batty.

Sadly, I think nothing of the sort will occur tonight. ?

I hope there is a morning skate. Would give us a small insight into other possible moves. 

I would expect guys like Beaulieu would be extra skaters in anticipation of being in trade discussions. But yes, if any other "odd" lineup moves happen they may be indications of other trade talks.

I love trade deadline day...

I would take a point right now and then a win against Philly tomorrow. I hope to see a lot of hatred on the ice tonight and think that our goalie will have to steal a point or two against these guys. Too bad Montour is not playing.....
