7:00PM ET start on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. @ Surrendering their first regulation time loss to the depleted line-up of the New York Rangers, the Toronto Maple Leafs will try to return to the winning ways they've displayed this season when they visit the hostile Flyers in Philadelphia on Saturday night. It was a matter of too little too late for the Maple Leafs, who were out-played from the start by John Tortorella's Rangers club. The Maple Leafs were outshot 32-25. Jean-Sebasatien Giguere is expected to get the start tonight against Michael Leighton's Flyers. Maple Leafs' Projected Line-up: Forwards: Versteeg-Bozak- Kessel MacArthur-Grabovski-Kulemin Sjostrom-Brent-Armstrong Brown-Mitchell-Orr Defence: Beauchemin-Phaneuf Kaberle-Schenn Gunnarsson-Komisarek Goaltenders: Giguere Gustavsson Flyers' Projected Line-up: Forwards: Carter-Richards-Zherdev Hartnell-Briere-Leino Van Riemsdyk-Giroux-Nodl Shelley-Betts-Powe Defence: Pronger-Carle Timonen-Cobourn Meszaros-O'Donnell Goaltenders: Boucher Bobrovsky
Should be tough. The Flyers have lost 3 in a row. This would be the game they'll want to bounce back in. That, and Toronto is terrible against teams that are struggling. If they want to win this game, the intensity level cannot be anything less than the maximum.
Zigomanis out, Mitchell in. I don't see what the reason for this move is, because Toronto will need to win some face-off tonight (and every night). Lebda out, Gunnarsson in. I kind of saw it coming. Lebda jumps into the play way to much. They already have Beauch screwing them up in that regard, can't have another d-man doing the same.
5-2 Flyers. This all started after Wilson started tinkering with the 4-0-0 line-up. I don't believe in coincidence.
Maybe its a good thing hes messing with lineups now. Sort of have the same issue in Chicago, except its injuries making the lines change.
