7:00PM ET start on CBC's Hockey Night in Canada. @ 3rd meeting of the season. Toronto is 1-3-1 in their last 5 games, and looking to right a ship that hasn't properly set sail yet. Kris Versteeg will be back in the line-up, and Christian Hanson will be making his season debut with the buds. Maple Leafs' Projected Line-up: Forwards: Kulemin-Bozak-Kessel MacArthur-Grabovski-Versteeg Sjostrom-Brent-Caputi Brown-Hanson-Orr Defence: Beauchemin-Phaneuf Kaberle-Schenn Gunnarsson-Komisarek Goaltenders: Giguere Gustavsson Rangers' Projected Line-up: Forwards: Dubinsky-Anisimov-Callahan Avery-Boyle-Fedotenko Frolov-Stepan-Prust Christensen-White-Grachev Defence: Staal-Rozsival Del Zotto-Girardi Gilroy-Eminger Goaltenders: Lundqvist Biron
More fail on their part. It's not looking good right now, but we'll see what happens. Right now, the problem seems to be scoring... which, I guess we all saw coming. I'm not going to buy the "hot goaltender" excuse that's being tossed around. If Toronto is going to win some games than they will have to win them 1-0, 2-1, and sometimes even 3-2 from now on out (if they can score 3 goals). The firepower just isn't there, so they'll have to be smarter defencively. If they cannot adapt, they cannot win.
