Pre-Game Talk: Canadiens vs Leafs - November 18th, 7:00 PM

[Daisy Jane]

Matthews returns and scores 3 goals.

that's so pedestrian
at least 4 is his standard.

 

[Budsfan]

Lets hope the guys stand on their heads and win this one

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Not a lot of surprises there, not sure how we get Sosh or Leivo in barring a trade or injury. I'd like them to sit Martin but they won't..

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Well at least Matty is practicing. I don't think you can really worry too much about his injury if he's day to day and practices with the team

Montreal is probably less tough than some peewee teams. I don't see a need for martin at all

they should be rotating martin with leivo/sosh. Last night against a fast skating team that aren't super physical should of been leivo over martin. Habs have a little bit of players who martin "may help shoo away" from Matthews/nylander/marner Andrew shaw comes to mind. Not that I believe in the policemen thing but babs seems too.

 

[PuckMagi]

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

Let's hope he gets mono and drops to 31.

 

[Randy Randerson]

Let's hope he gets mono and drops to 31.

While Liljegren's out we should send him back to Sweden and offer to share drinks with Dahlin

Yup. The whole playing Martin every game thing is frustrating. AM comes back and Sosh and Leivo are both in the press-box. Two guys who actually could be here long term. But it's more important to play Martin I guess

 

[firstemperor]

He should take another game if he needs it.....saw his presser the other day and it sounded like a back injury. Thought initially it was a wrist injury, but he was told not to skate last week because of it (not sure if this was strategic to try to disguise a wrist/hand/shooting arm injury...which I thought at first).

Matthews returns and scores 3 goals.

Not enough! He has to make up for the games he has missed to injury! LOL

 

[rent free]

hopefully price doesn't start tomorrow

 

[Trapper]

LOL 4 goals was so last year. Let's make it 5. 5 on Price. Then let's see the Montreal meltdown.

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Is Price expected to play?

 

[mrJT]

i'm expecting no Matthews.

Hopefully Price plays and we light him up for 6 Goals, to really set in the panic in Montreal.

 

[ACC1224]

Wonder how many times Gallagher runs Andersen?

 

[Tak7]

That's 5 straight days of practices for Matthews.

If he's not a go on Saturday, I think it'll be time to start panicking

 

[1specter]

Wonder how many times Gallagher runs Andersen?

With no call too. Seems like it's always open season on Leaf goalies.

 

[Tak7]

Wonder how many times Gallagher runs Andersen?

He left yesterday's game with a concussion, before being given the all clear to return. Wonder if he plays Saturday.

 

[MJ65]

Good teams usually win against the weaker opponents, but we need to be careful and shouldn't take any team lightly

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Another easy win, guranteed
4-2 Leafs
2 goals from Marner

If we lose, ban me

 

[Battle Lin]

the only important wins are the ones over habs and sens, we must get this one
