[canadon]

May as well start talking about the next game here. Lets hope Matthews is healthy and will play in this one.
We should not be taking the Canadiens lightly - they always bring their game to the next level when playing us. Go Leafs!

They're gonna be pretty hungry after losing to the Coyotes. I hope we play a strong game.

Let's have some fun.

If the Leafs beat the Scabs on Saturday, I will ...

Matthews returns and scores 3 goals.

If the Leafs beat the Scabs on Saturday, I will ...

...be sure to bring it to the attention of my wife and her family (all Scabs fans, and they never let me live down their 14 game winning streak either)

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hopefully they start Lindgren and we light him up. Hope Matthews returns but I won’t hold my breath.

 

[Not My Tempo]

Montreal, Arizona, Florida. No reason this 5 game win streak can’t turn into an 8. Let’s keep it going!

 

[1specter]

Please, come back Matthews.

 

[ToneDog]

Hopefully they start Lindgren and we light him up. Hope Matthews returns but I won’t hold my breath.

It could be Niemi in which case it could get very ugly.

What do we want? Antti Niemi! When do we want him? Saturday!

 

[Liferleafer]

Please win this one....

 

[Randy Randerson]

If we keep this win streak going too long, we're going to ruin our chances of missing the playoffs by a point and winning the Dahlin lottery with that 1% chance we'd have

 

[PromisedLand]

Matthews returns and scores 3 goals.

He's got a lot of catching up to do. He was top 5 in scoring when he got injured.

I say Auston has a 5 point night

 

[Orfieus]

Montreal is going to be coming out strong after losing to Arizona. Hopefully Matthews will be back.

I know a very good lawyer

Just trying to help a fellow leaf fan

Whenever Leaf nation is confident there is a guarantee win, it turns out as we came out flat. Habs lost against a team that had not until yesterday won in regulation. Julien is on the hot seat, Nemi is auditioning for his next team. Gallager is a tick of a hockey player and we tend to come out flat vs les Habitants.

I can't imagine a scenario where Montreal does not come out and play like their hockey lives depend on this one game.

If "Nasty" Naz shows up and not "Not here tonight" Naz shows up , we might have a chance. We need him to stir up S#!t Saturday.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Montreal is a good team for us to face to hopefully turn our bad play around

Good problems?

Lets crush them like a cracker over soup and hammer them to the boards so they stick like a piece of wet bologna.

 

[Pi]

7 games remaining in the month against and all are teams below us in the standings, some well below us. We have to take advantage of this and win at least 5 out of 7. Lots of tough/road games coming up in December.

Hainsey is such a great pickup. I don't know how he was so overlooked and the signing so widely criticized.

No clue why it was criticized. We had just seen how good Hainsey was for the Penguins in their Cup win.

Amazing that he can play 24-25 mins at his age and look so good.
