With a sour taste in their mouths from that horrible finish to their game last night, the Leafs look to bounce back and play a full 60 minute game instead of only 50 like they did last night. In spite of the fact that there were blown calls and a disallowed goal that should have counted, blowing a 4-1 lead with about 9 minutes left should not have happened. Tonight, they get a chance to rectify the situation against the exact same team.
There are 3 key changes coming to the Leafs lineup as James Reimer will get the start and both John-Michael Liles and Colby Armstrong both return from injuries and take up spots, meaning that some roster adjustments had to be made. Keith Aulie (who had been a spectator in the press box for the last 5 games) and Nazem Kadri were both sent to the AHL Toronto Marlies but the team still hasn't said which of the 6 defencemen from last night will be up in the press box tonight. I hope its Komisarek but who knows.
A quick point about a tragedy that happened today. 70 people were killed and over 240 injured after a smaller Egyptian team beat a powerful rival and the fans stormed the field. The ensuing riots caused other games to be cancelled, leading to MORE violence in other parts of the country. I love sports as much as anyone (probably more) but rioting over a loss? What are you 5? WTF is wrong with people? It's sport. It's a distraction. It's not meant to be taken THAT seriously, even if you think your team is being ripped off by bad officiating, life is more important then a game. Some people just don't understand that.
Game time fast approaching....
