Preview: Tampa Bay vs. Toronto


Toronto Maple Leafs Record: Piss Poor

Tampa Bay Lightning Record: 4-4-4

Maple Leafs vs. Lightning Since 2005: 9-5-2

Maple Leafs Likely Goalie: Jonas Gustavsson (1-2-2, GAA: 3.22)

Lightning's Likely Goalie: Antero Niittymaki (2-1-1, GAA: 2.18)

Maple Leafs Top Scorer: Niklas Hagman (6)

Lightning's Top Scorer: Steven Stamkos (10)

Injury Report: Kessel may be back for the Leafs starting tonight, we'll see.

Preview Notes: Well well well...if it isn't a team that Toronto may actually be able to beat. Not that it'll be easy for them, nothing is. Kessel should be able to provide a much needed boost, however a moderately trained monkey with downs syndrome could provide a boost to the Maple Leafs, albeit a hilarious one.

Seriously though, Toronto needs to get their asses in gear if they want any hopes of salvaging the season. Kessel seems more like the nerd that the Maple Leaf bullies would throw in a locker, but there is no denying the offense he could bring to the team. It'll be interesting to watch what transpires when he finally takes the ice.
