Pre-Game Talk: Part 1: Leafs @ Canadiens - Saturday, January 19, 2013 - Season Opener - CBC - 7 PM

[Rusty Shackleford]

Wish they changed it up and went Leafs-Sens, Habs-Bruins.

A 50/50 split crowd in Ottawa would've made for a real cool atmosphere to start the season.

Someone said NHL wants O6 matchups on opening night. Perhaps on main board, or twitter.

It's more likely CBC wanted Habs Leafs, the rivalry may not be as intense as other rivalries for both teams but the ratings are great.

 

[Kiotzu]

Finally time for some NHL hockey. This next week and a half is going to be a long time.

 

[Kyle93]

**** yes I can't wait!

 

[jimmycarter]

the scabs stink.

GO LEAFS GO.

 

[SeriousHabs]

Thank you for setting our tank on the right path!

 

[SeriousHabs]

Also, if you guys do end up getting Luongo, please do not continue the idiotic ''Loouuuuuuuu'' chant every time the puck is within 20 feet of Luongo.

 

[the squared circle]

What's Luongo's record playing in his hometown??

To SeriousHabs - LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!

 

[Bedards Dad]

The next week and a half is going to feel like the longest of the year.

The days are dragging on.

The worst part is a have a commitment to go to the Oshawa Gens Game with my folks and Mrs.Kessly Snipes! Was pumped to make the drive to see Jenner play, but now I will have the Leafs in my head the whole time. I'll feel like I am cheating on them.

I will go insane if Leaf fans do this!

It's never 50/50, more 75 Leafs/25 Sens fans.

Nice to see a game-related thread again.

Not true. It's impossible to gain more than one win in a single game.

This comment in false.

 

[Eyedea]

Rielly with 12 assists.

And not a single one is secondary.

 

[Brewsky]

All I want for this game is for Bob freakin Cole to sing on the mic. Not stupid Jim Hughson that Vancouver bias and his butt buddy Craig Simpson.
