Ingredients:
1 Toronto Maple Leafs team coming down to Raleigh, bringing their climate with them, having lost 4 in a row, and (whew!) without Free Agent signed star Jeff Finger.
1 Carolina Hurricanes team that has lost all confidence(3 game losing streak), chemistry(lines being shuffled all around), and the sanity of their coach. Wait he said what?
“The politically correct thing that most coaches would say is that it's just like any other game. But it's absolutely not. It's absolutely personal. You get fired, you want to see that team lose every game for the next ten years.”
Dude. We fired you. Are you saying that you wish us to lose every game until 2013? Is that what this 3 game losing streak is about?
Seriously, that had to be about the dumbest thing he's said in front of the media.
OK. So who's hot coming into the game? No One! Well, OK maybe Justin Williams? He has 5 points in 5 games, but does that really matter when in the last 3 the final scores have been 4-2, 5-1, and 5-1?
For the Leafs. No one. But, the Canes have a tendency lately to break cold streaks and really get a team going.
For a prediction I'm going Leafs 4, Canes 2. Even though Carolina has gotten the better of the Leafs more often than not lately, I, like the team, have no confidence in them. It would have been Leafs 7, Canes 2; but since Finger is out, I have to be conservative.

It was a disgrace! But quit making accurate predictions- you're correct too often. Predict that we'll win the next time. Maybe YOU have the mojo! Che Che
Mo Must GO!
