I hope the Sens are up for the game on Thursday. Emery is good, but definitely beatable. Leclaire has to be better than he's been the last two games. Sometimes those soft goals are the margin between victory and defeat.

On the Leafs front, I have a hypothesis.

If the Leafs are 7 or more points out of a playoff spot, they have a 75% chance of getting a win or OTL in their next game.

If the Leafs are less than 7 points out of a playoff spot, they have a 75% chance of getting a loss in their next game.

I think Anshu's hypothesis requires a sidebar.

I am not feeling good about this game, not going to lie. Ray Ray is a talented goalie and that was never the issue in Ottawa. Also, Mike Richards is a beast. I don't see anyone on Ottawa lining up with him on an even keel. I'm hoping the Sens can pull one out and Leclaire can be amazing but it's going to take a big effort tonight. Only way I can think it might work is if the Sens get in Emery's kitchen but I'm not even sure he's a goalie who's ever been bothered by a little contact in the crease. He thrives on that. Now a brawl featuring Ray Ray and...? that would be sweet.

I really, REALLY hope Leclaire doesn't step into the ring with Emery. I don't even want to think about what could happen to poor Snoopy's ankle...
