Who: Calgary vs. Toronto
When: Saturday, October 14th @ 5:00pm MT
Where: ACC
Why: Is for fun.
TV: CBC
What do the Flames need to do to win?
One of two things: Either score a bunch of goals (and by "bunch" I mean more than the one goal they had against Ottawa) or continue their strong defensive play. To up the offense, they need to forecheck hard and pressure the Leafs to cough it up. This is their most efficient manner in generating offense.
What do the Maple Leafs (shouldn't it be the Leaves? ... dumbasses) need to do to win?
Ummm, other than praying for a miracle ... they should definitely play better defensively. They can certainly score goals but if the NJ game was any indication, they certainly need to shut the door. Raycroft should be an upgrade over Aubin. And somebody from the backend needs to step it up if Wozniewski is unable to play.
Prediction:
Calgary finally manages to score more than two goals in a game. They get three. The third being an empty netter in which Phaneuf body checks the puck into the net from, get this, HIS side of the red line! Final score: 3-1. Toronto loses another defensemen in the second period forcing Ponikarovsky to the third pairing. Poni's father is enraged and demands a trade. He is subsequently flipped to Florida for D-man Branislav Mezei.
