Leafs Need Win To Carry Momentum Into Season Opener

2-5-1 Is the Leafs current pre-season record..........................

The Leafs actually have a history of being terrible in the pre-season and this year was no different. However the Leafs have a tough opening night rumble with the Detroit Redwings on Thursday and need a win tonight to carry some MO into that game.

The Leafs actually have a winning record against the defending Stanley Cup champs (13-11) and they will look to improve on that actually if you look into the past the Red Wings have only been able to beat the Leafs in pre-season in the last 5 years.

The Leafs have the Columbus Blue Jackets tonight Rick Nash will be in the line up for CBJ and the Leafs will carry the same lineup as last night (Essentially the lineup they will have come Thursday)minus Pavel Kubina and Jeff Finger.

No word as of yet who will get the start but I do believe it will be Justin Pogge. You can catch the game live tonight on LeafsTV Interactive or on LeafsTV if you live out of market catch the game online at www.justin.tv/gersland.
