Leafs could face Raycroft and Pogge...

How funny would be if the Leafs face a couple of their old goal tenders... and LOSE. They could face Raycroft with the Canucks and Pogge with the Ducks. You just know Leafs Nation would go insane if they lost to those two guys and still did not have a win after the road trip.

The Leafs have a really good chance of getting their first win if those are their next two opponents. With the Ducks and 'Nucks struggling out of the gate it's a real opportunity. I don't imagine it'll be great hockey to watch though.

Imagine if both goalies played and shut them out? My god, that would be amazing.

with how the Leafs have been sucking lately, that is not out of the question, would be great if it happened against the Ducks and Pogge, Burke's former team and a prospect that was never treated right with the Leafs.

Sad, but true.

Wasn't Pogge recalled from the ECHL? In other words, wasn't he recalled to the AHL?

Yes, JS Giguere is injured. He's filling in.

They might be struggling but they wont lose, at home, to The Leafs. I dont think there is a shot in hell after that game last night Vancouver gets taken down by The Leafs, The Ducks... maaaaaybe but a lot would have to go Toronto's way.

Only team I think they can beat on this road trip is MTL and that is not saying a lot. They literally may not win a game in October.

How's this for people not being on the same page...

Wilson: "We'll probably ask Gustavsson to go on Sat vs the Canucks."
Gustavsson: "I don't feel ready to go."

Yikes. They need to communicate better.
