LGD: Battle Of Fairly Averages

Oct 10, 2015, 17:04 EDTUpdated:
On Saturday night, the very defeated Leafs take on the undefeated Ottawa Senators. With just one goal for and seven against in their first two games, the Leafs look, to start the year, about as expected, honestly. Playing three games in four nights is almost never favourable, and for the 0-2 Leafs, it could present some difficulties.
Unless, of course, you’ve already written off the season, in which case, the schedule plays a hand in the early start of Tank Nation: 2016 Edition.
In any case, Ottawa comes in with a 1-0 record with a victory over Jack Eichel’s Sabres, the only loss of his career to date.
The Leafs
The Leafs defence of the past few seasons always finds a way to be a little hilarious, though I suppose you could say the same about the forward group.
It’s unclear at the time of publishing who exactly will be pulled out.

The Senators
Ottawa goes with the same lineup from Friday. As they come in undefeated, the Leafs should probably just forfeit already.

Starting Goalies


What to watch for
- Tyler Bozak, as twitter has told me, has led the Leafs’ forwards in ice time the past two games.
- If James Reimer plays well, it’ll be interesting to see how Mike Babcock handles the goaltending situation for the next little while.
- Someone to score for the Leafs. That’d be nice.
