GDT: Habs@Leafs 7 PM CBC

[CanadasTeam]

Yes, I think Zaits really has the flu... *but* I also believe he is in recovery-mode --could be that his ankle isn't quite 100% for taking quite a bit of abuse this season.

 

[DopeyFish]

Babcock said Zaitsev skated this morning.

 

[LeafsNation75]

I'm always excited anytime Toronto plays Montreal and would like nothing more to see them win tonight.

 

[Cor]

3rd game in 4th and no Matthews, Anderson, Zaitsev and Komorov.

Hope the tired legs get it done tonight and I hope Niemi returns to letting beachballs in. He's actually been pretty good for them and it's gonna hurt their tank.

Luckily we are facing Lindgren and not Niemi. - Which is totally not something I though I'd say even 3 months ago in regards to MTL goaltending

MTL has one of the worst differential's in the league. They can't score to save their lives, and can't keep the puck out of their own net.

We have a chance to get within 3 points of Boston tonight, who have lost 2 of their last 3 and face Tampa Bay tonight.

As I say against every non-playoff team, we need to be able to win games like this.

On paper the Leafs should have the advantage. However let's remember what happened the first time they played Buffalo this season.

Pretty sure their other goalie isn’t playing.

Should let Price sit out the rest of the season like TO did with all the vets during the matthews tank.

The Leafs still largely outplayed Buffalo that game, just got incredibly unlucky, if we bring the same effort tonight, we should win.

But, you're correct in that we shouldn't count our chickens before they hatch

The Leafs aren't wearing the St Pats jersey's tonight.... which is disappointing.

I totally expected them to, quite disappointing indeed.

 

[LeafsNation75]

The Leafs aren't wearing the St Pats jersey's tonight.... which is disappointing.

Last season when they wore them they lost. Plus they never made them into the Adidas version, so they couldn't wear the Reebok ones even if they wanted to.

They don't have Adidas St. Pats jerseys.

I'd be ticked if habs get dahlin; at the pace that they are tanking it is disgusting

It would be great to see a blowout victory for the Leafs, something for the history books in the double digit range.

You never know, Charlie Lindgren has let in 16 goals in his last 3 games.


On another note, there was an actual Go Leafs Go post from a Habs fan on their GDT. Unbelievable.

Honestly, I'd like a Canadian team to get all the 1st. overall picks and Canadiens probably pay more than they receive from the NHL so I'm fine with the funding fathers getting something in return.

 

[Havoc]

Johnsson was trying to hard to be aggressive last game. Hopefully he finds a way to settle down and use his head first this game. Lots of instances on the board where a simple stick check would have worked rather than wasting all his energy with his body.

I feel like he does this (settles down, uses energy wisely) and gets a goal tonight. Komarov usually gets 1-2 scoring chances a night so maybe that chance will land on Johnsson's stick.

 

[Damisoph]

Habs fans really don't like our chances in the playoffs, which bodes pretty well for us considering how much they get wrong

Oh yes I'm sure hab fans can be very objective when it comes to our chances

 

[GoldenGOOSE]

Pleckanec was a waste of an acquisition.

Pleckanec was a waste of an acquisition.

Far from decided until the playoffs

 

[LeafChief]

Is TWS the biggest stiff on the forums?

 

[Nithoniniel]

Is TWS the biggest stiff on the forums?

I just find him a bit sad. The guy was a pretty decent poster once, and he's got a good eye for talent. Unfortunately, it usually takes a back seat to whatever motivations he's got for taking a particular stance on a particular subject.

I just wish people would leave him alone instead of giving him attention.

Mtl is the laughing stock of the league

Pathetic team

Easy w tnt
