GDT: Canadiens @ Leafs: 7PM on SN, RDS - Let's talk about jalapenos, ghost peppers, and anything chili

[peate]

Nice GDT, love the added touches in the kitchen. Not expecting a win so it will be nice if they do. C'mon Carey, the season starts now.

Go Go

Last season, things got a little hot to put it mildly:

Perhaps getting hot wasn't the right choice of words. Maybe spicy was more of what we needed:

Thankfully, despite the disaster in the kitchen, the poor result led to us getting the right chef to lead the brigade:

@groovejuice This made me think of you. Food...Food...Food!
Are you back where you left last year?
I am excited to see what you got for us for this season.

 

[Maitz]

I want a Alzner-Benn pair, if we are going to end last this year at least I wanna laugh a little bit

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Let the tank begin lol

 

[JuicyHam]

Just remembered Leafs legend Tomas Plekanec will make his long awaited emotional return to Toronto tonight.

 

[ChikN]

games against the leafs are the times we should be LEAST expecting a win,

how did we do against them last season?

there is no reason to expect a different result this season

Shut up. Rivalries are still a thing wether we suck or not.

 

[Belial]

 

[JuicyHam]

Their line up doesn't look as good as everyone likes to think it is. I still don't think we win but still.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

They rolling an offensive 4th line so I think we should have no issues doing the same.

And as small and soft as we are up front, leafs might be a little bigger but they are way softer. Kadri and Hyman are their toughest players lol and it’s even worse for them on D.

Yeah comparing lineups we could beat them into the ice if it was a physical battle The skill is a bit of a mismatch obviously

Nope. Healthy scratch.

 

[Leon Lucius Black]

4th line at practice is Hudon - Peca - Shaw, Plekanec skating as an extra.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

When Ron Hainsey is on your top pair, no matter your offense, you know you're in trouble.

That right side has a huge hole some team might be able to fill in the near future

 

[Milhouse40]

Plekanec starts the season out of the line-up......most beautiful day ever for @417

 

[Seb]

I would've preferred :
Tatar-Domi-Gallagher
Drouin-Kotkaniemi-Lehkonen
Byron-Danault-Armia

 

[Belial]

Yeah, that team looks soft af...

 

[Agalloch]

Really happy that Plekanec is scratch. Let the young players play !

 

[Belial]

@417 Pop the champagne man! Plekanec is a healthy scratch!

 

[llamateizer]

Just remembered Leafs legend Tomas Plekanec will make his long awaited emotional return to Toronto tonight.

That's an insult being scratched.
did they scratched Draisaitl at the Game in Cologne? they did not

/s

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

leafs still missing nylander

looks like the dream to sign the youngers at discount because they are leafs is not working well

 

[Belial]

Plekanec is probably scratched so that he can hit 1000 games in a Habs jersey at home though so let's not get crazy about it...

 

[WeThreeKings]

Scherbak in for Shaw please.

Oh well Shaw will get suspended five games when he throws a headshot at Josh Leivo then will be out 30 games with some type of injury.

 

[tazsub3]

6-3 habs with one en. Tatar scores twice one on the pp.

 

[Saekk]

Yawn, guess it's gonna be a long night for me, 2am start finnish time and who knows when the puck actually drops.

 

[417]

Plekanec starts the season out of the line-up......most beautiful day ever for @417

lol nice

I expect he'll be back in the lineup next game, cause they probably want to mark his 1000th game at the home opener.

Like I said yesterday, if they can at least recognize at this stage of his career that he should not be an every game player, and certainly not one who plays 16 mins a game like he did last year.

Then i've got no issues with him being on this team.
