Tonight the Toronto Maple Leafs host the defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins.
Generally you would think the powerhouse Penguins would stomp the Maple Leafs but the Penguins always seem to bring their F game against Toronto. In fact, the last time the Penguins won a game against the Maple Leafs was on October 18, 2008. Since then the Penguins have dropped three straight, often in embarrassing fashion.
If you remember it was Pittsburgh's terrible loss to the Maple Leafs in February that sparked the coaching change and Pittsburgh's turn around. Thanks Maple Leafs!
Toronto's Jason Blake apparently hates Penguins, as he has 24 goals and 47 points over 46 games against Pittsburgh.
The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off a great win against the rival Philadelphia Flyers where the biggest idiot in the NHL Scott Hartnell tried to eat Kris Letang's finger. Hopefully AIDS are in Hartnell's future.
Toronto has yet to win this season and will hope they can continue their luck against Pittsburgh. The Maple Leafs will be without Jonas Gustavsson and Viktor Stalberg, both out with injuries. Toskala will have to with stand the onslaught of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin which could be a problem for Toskala, who would be a back up on any other team.
If the pre-season was any indication, the fists may fly tonight. You should see some of this:
