After a brutal 1st period last night, the Maple Leafs were able to come back and grab 2 points from the Atlanta Thrashers. It was a back and forth game and both teams were pretty sloppy in their own end.
With all the Phil Kessel Vs Ron Wilson talk going on, I was expecting a big game from Kessel. But he ended up being a minus 2 on the night and didn't register a point. It's just so hard to watch him play, because if he played with more heart and actually won a board battle once and a while it would be ok if he wasn't scoring. Most of the players in the league would love to have his skating ability and slick hands. But It seems like Kessel is missing some key parts to his game. I wonder if they will ever develop.
The Maple Leaf head in to Long Island tonight and play future Toronto Maple Leaf John Tavares. Yes Tavares will be signing with the Leafs once he becomes a UFA. With Rick DiPietro hurt once again the Leafs will be facing Kevin Poulin in net. I am usually pretty good at knowing about young prospects, but never heard of this guy. It's pretty safe to say the Islanders are tanking the year and looking forward to another top 5 pick.
With a win tonight the Leafs are shooting for 4 wins in their last 5 games.
What is the over/under for attendance tonight?
10,000 maybe?
