Tonight in another all Canadian match-up in the NHL the
4th in 5 games for the Buds. The Toronto Maple Leafs play host
to the Winnipeg Jets for the first time since March 13th 1996.
A game that was so long ago it ended in a 3-3 tie in pre shootout
days. Tonight the Leafs look to continue their quick start to the
season. Already at a 3-0-1 mark earning points in all 4 games.
The Jets on the other hand are at the opposite end of the spectrum
going 1-3 in there first 4 games. Finally winning for their first time
since returning to Winnipeg with a 2-1 victory versus the Penguins.
With the Buds playing 4 games in the next 6 nights look to see
Gustavsson between the pipes at least once in that span. Maybe
even tonight. If not most likely tomorrow when the Leafs take on
the defending Stanley Cup Champions The Boston Bruins. Gustavsson
not knowing when he will be playing had this to say "You just have
to practice hard and do well in practice to get some confidence to
go out there and play in a game," The last time he saw action was
against Detroit in preseason on September 30th in a 4-3 win.
Tonight I am sure we will see quite a few Jets fans at the ACC
and that's great, cause getting a NHL franchise back in Canada
is amazing and hopefully we get some more. So catch the game tonight
on TSN at 7:30pm and join me and the crew after the game at:
