LGD – Sunsetters vs. Sunrise

Today’s game s a matchup of the people. The Toronto Maple Leafs, who just came off of their first non-sellout game in the past thirteen years, will host the Florida Panthers, who are still looking for the term “sellout” in the dictionary. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Leafs turn that blip into a brief streak tonight; tickets are still available as we speak and the Leafs look terrible. 

Oh, and there’s a hockey game.

The Leafs come into this one having won just one of their past ten games, six of those games being consecutive regulation losses. Now just five points ahead of Edmonton, it doesn’t look like Toronto will want to change much in terms of roster placement. With that said, there’s a good chance we see recent signing Casey Bailey make his NHL debut tonight.

Florida, on the other hand, are pushing towards a playoff spot, but likely aren’t doing so fast enough to make it. They’re five points behind the surging Senators right now, and are 5-4-1 in their past 10. Nonetheless, they’re going to be super hungry for the two points tonight, which is an ideal situation for a team that is, uhh, totally not tanking.

Roberto Luongo vs. Jonathan Bernier. Not much to say about these guys; one of them is from Quebec, is above average, but has an inflated brand-name reputation. The other one is Roberto Luongo.

Puck drop is at 7:30.
