"The rematch is finally here. You never know but maybe this one is what changes the course of the Maple Leafs' season. For the first time since their seven-game battle last spring, the Leafs and Panthers are set to clash. Weirdly enough, both teams have the same number of points (25) with Florida having one game in hand. For December 2 nd, this is a sneaky big game."
""If people are thinking they're out of a playoff spot for the season they got to find a new job ...with the media attention & fan support they have things get blown way out of proportion ... They're still a good contending team," Marchand told reporters on Monday. Again, when did Brad Marchand become the voice of reason in Toronto? This guy's an all-time troll, and honestly, he runs this city's show."
Toronto and Florida face a rematch for the first time since a seven-game series, with both teams holding 25 points and Florida possessing one game in hand. The game on December 2 carries added importance given the Leafs' uneven start and extended road slate. Toronto is 2-2-0 through four away contests on this six-game trip and holds a 3-7-0 overall road record with only seven regulation wins in 25 outings. Brad Marchand defended the Leafs publicly and taunted their critics. Oliver Ekman-Larsson rides a nine-game point streak. Jeff Marek remains unconvinced a Leafs turnaround is imminent.
