GDITL 65 Leafs v Oilers

It's game day in the Legion! Tonight's opponent for the Edmonton Oilers are the infamous Toronto Maple Leafs. Here are some things you should know about the two teams tonight: Edmonton's leading scorer (Ales Hemsky) has one more point (52) than Toronto's leading scorer (Jason Blake) who has 51. Good news for those of you who are concerned over our special teams Edmonton has the 11th ranked road powerplay in the league operating at 19.6%. Even better is that Toronto has the worst home penalty kill in the league at 72.1%. However, that's where the good news ends, because Edmonton has the 28th ranked road penalty kill (at least Toronto doesn't have a good pp). Toronto is without a regulation loss in 8 straight games (5-0-3) and Edmonton has lost 4 straight road games. The Leafs have also won 3 straight (including 5-3 earlier in the year) against Edmonton and 5 of the last 6. So this game is going to be far from a lock. I can't find any information on the line up tonight for Edmonton so its reasonable to assume that it will be the same as it was against Ottawa. Edmonton's leading point getter against Toronto is Ales Kotalik who has 22 points in 32 games followed by Sheldon Souray who has 13 in 33. Hopefully our boys get something going tonight. Enjoy the game! PS: Ethan Moreau gave an interview to Jason Gregor yesterday, and he said he would be able to skate with the team next week. He will also be required to wear a visor for the remainder of the year.
