Westgarth/Orr in their first fight. Most would think Orr can take this one easily, but I feel that he really needs to get back into his reckless style against guys like this. Although he can throw a bomb, Westgarth will probably not be looking to throw one against Orr, leaving me to believe that Orr should be free to use his classic style. And Westy has been very unimpressive compared to his previous years, but I think his style is good enough to at least draw Orr. He is going to have to step his game up to beat him though. Maybe a bit more technical like Orr/Engellend round 2. And you know they are both willing, but will a challenge be made? I can see them not even looking at each other, but I can also definitely see this fight going down. Lets wait and see, it should be a good one. Also be on the lookout for more action in this game. I can guarantee that it will be a good one, or a complete snoozer as these west coast games tend to be for the Leafs.

Oh and I can also see the Leafs getting swept and torn apart by the media/fans in this visit to the coast (just like a few years back which led to the complete rebuild of the team). If they can at least get one win here, they won't be in any hot water.

Engelland vs Thornton is very likely, IMO. FOTN
If anyone saw the Caps/Pens 24/7 series, in the last show they showed Godard in the background and he had 2 black eyes, swelled cheeks, and a broken bandaged nose. I doubt he comes back anytime soon, and I dont wanna be Mr negative but they have Rupp, Engelland and Asham so they are already a pretty tough team and if Godard cant fight then no use for him dressing.

Great! No Godard, no Asham? Hopefully, Engelland's in there. The Pens lineup doesn't look too tough with only Ruppelstiltskin patroling the ice.

Lucic Flu?

If Westgarth and Orr don't find each other tonight I'm going to stab my TV.

Westgarth will challenge Orr. Westie is looking for a fight and Orr usually is always ready to go

LOL....I see it as a lock if both are in the lineup...Interesting match up because both guys are heavy handed and a kd, tko would be no surprise...

Engelland vs Lucic or Thornton would also be nice...

Yea because Lucic has been such a madman in the fight department this season.

Westy-Orr for sure and Orr will be going for the KO as will Westy, Westy still knows he needs a few big wins to make a statement. Thorts-Engs maybe but both are not dirty and probably respect each other

Because nobody wants to get HIV splattered on them when Lucic gets his beak smashed.
