Maple Leafs vs. Blue Jackets open chat: Battle of the Blue

Maple Leafs (33-19-5) vs. Blue Jackets (29-23-4)

7:00 pm ET
TV: SN

Our game preview with lineups is here.

Last night the world was shocked to learn that the Ottawa Senators traded away Dion Phaneuf for money, only two years after they traded FOR Phaneuf without having the Leafs retain ANY money. It was Melnyk's little Valentine's Day gift to the most devoted fans who attend his Sens' games... Leafs fans, of course!

Tonight, the Leafs take on the Blue Jackets. Will anyone be taken out of the game partway through for a trade? Will it be Roman Polak? Or Matt Martin? Or Josh Leivo? Or Nikita Soshnikov? Or JVR??

Well... we'll have to see if this game happens at all!

So this is interesting. The massive scoreboard in Air Canada Centre is stuck, I’d guess 20 feet off the ice. We are roughly 90 minutes from warm-ups bw Blue Jackets and Leafa. This could be interesting. #CBJ #TMLtalk #nodumpinsboys #duckseth pic.twitter.com/9NTDbU3G0F
