Leafs have just as good a chance of crapping the bed as the Caps do in this one.........................  especially since it is nationally televised

[Mickstix]

Mixed up the D pairs again I see. Hopefully Sandin and Jensen dont fuck up two lines now. 

[richkrt99]

Matthews and Tavares are gonna give our D fits
But hell...we due for some bounces and shit going our way.
