Pre-Game Talk: Leafs @ Habs | Feb 9 | 7PM CBC

[Snow Dog]

Better leave earlier pal, 401 is a horror show. Brockville, and still snowing wind is supposed to come up overnite. Best wishes but I d stay home. Having said that there's nothing like Montreal on a Saturday with the Leafs in town, electric from 8 am on, God speed DM me if you need to watch the game in Eastern Ontario.

Take the train and sleep all afternoon.

 

[lordsithis]

I'm in Ottawa and its a mess here.

 

[Schennanigans]

You gotta be insane to drive all the way there in this storm.

 

[Puckstuff]

I would mix up the lines a bit... Kadri and Frattin have to be getting more minutes. Kadri is most valuable as a C but if he's getting more minutes its hardly an issue IMO.

This is what I would do against Montreal.

Van Reimsdyk - Bozak - Kessel
Kadri - Grabovski - Frattin
Kulemin - Mcclement - Komorav ​

2 very good scoring lines... and a legit shut down line. We gotta keep riding Kadri, Frattin while their hot and get them more minutes. It would also get Grabovski a chance to get a lot more scoring chances. Frattin can finish and Kadri is so shifty and so creative with the puck he would create so many scoring chances.

The storm is done, isn't it? At least in Toronto and area, unless it's heading East because Montreal says conditions are sunny all day Saturday.

I like your positivity. All these other guys are scaring me!!

 

[toronto murphy laws]

You'll be fine, the highways will be crusted in salt and probably pretty clear imo.

 

[Lshap]

I'm at a Tim Hortons right off Montreal's West Island. Highways are fine around here, a bit slippery on the city streets. Weather looks okay.

Biggest problem for Toronto visitors may be parking, with extra snow and snow-removal gumming things up here. Parking lots are anywhere from $15 to $25, or take a Metro (if you know the city or can get directions).

Drive carefully for those making the trip and let's hope for a great game between our teams.

Those pylons did a pretty good job the first game

Montreal doesn't scare me at all. We should be able to win. They have had one of the easiest schedules to start the season and had luck with the Refs + they've had so many home games that it feels like they have never left Montreal yet.

5-1-0 on the road, about to be 6-1-0.

 

[Flamesarmstrong22]

Haha shaw, I am also driving from toronto to Montreal for the game. Good luck to both of us driving

 

[Liferleafer]

Would be surprised to see Kadri on the PK. I figured Frattin might get some time there. Kadri is great at reading the play though, so maybe he will be effective in getting in the way of those plays up high.

Kadri needs to improve on faceoffs before i would put him on the PK.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

This thread needs a little Heave Away by the Fables. If someone could post it that would be great. Song just feels like a Leafs win song.

Finally Koska won't play 30 min. I heard one game that he played more than Shea Weber

***crosses fingers hoping that White is in the Habs lineup***

Sorry but he's scratched tonight.

That would be a jinx. Have to wait for the win

 

[Saul Goodman]

hopefully carlye has the 4th crashing the crease all night. get price off his game and the rest will fall into place.

Fair enough. see you in the post game thread talkin' bout the win!!

This thread needs a more badass, catchy song that people from all generations will enjoy not just the hillbillies of Canada. Lets get some Led Zeppelin, AC/DC or Rolling Stones up in here.

I think there was a game or two where he played more than Dion.

So glad that experiment is over. Guy needs to be used to his capacity, not over it.

 

[gtforepro]

Finally created an account instead of just lurking. In London, UK right now on business, hoping to watch the game tonight. Any suggestions for a good stream?

 

[p.l.f.]

is the game cancelled?
theres 1 or 2 feet of snow here (toronto)

Game is in Montreal, pretty sure the Leafs never came back to Toronto after their game against Winnipeg. They went straight to MTL.

 

[p.l.f.]

i'm guessing it's bad there too tho
plus theres 2 games in NY, 1 in Boston
i wonder
(state of emergency in ny and mass)
