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

He'll be in against Arizona so the fans back home can see him when the game is televised in their area.

yeah that's what I'm thinking. It's his boyhood team and he's loved there. So if he misses that game I'd be worried

Patch, Drouin, Chucky, and Benn out today with flu-like symptoms... and the chance of a Niemi start.

(from Habs thread)

wow!!!

"flu like symptoms"

 

[Marshy]

"flu like symptoms"

the cold sweats, shaking... upset stomach

 

[rent free]

i want mcelhinney to start this one. it's be good to get him playing another game

 

[Morbo]

It would be bittersweet to win but put the final nail in Bergevin.

not sweet at all, I think he's doing a fantastic job there as far as I'm concerned and I hope they give him a 10 year extension.

Yea lets not put in the goalie who put on an absolute clinic in net yesterday and got a shutout and win for us in favour of a weaker player against a division rival on HNIC...

s better for andersen to get more rest imo. mcelhinney played great last time against boston and andersen has been putrid on saturday nights this season

Meant that it'd be bitter-sweat in the sense we won, but it helps the Habs. Although, I still care more about the 2 points for us.

Andy just had nearly a week off .. He doesn't need more rest right now.

Habs fan here, I hope that your post is correct, we all want him gone.

Imagine if a team actually looked at what days of the week their goalies/players played poorly and healthy scratched them because of it. Hilarious thinking.

Along with re-hiring Mario Tremblay as coach

Hopefully they sign Patches and Plekanec to 12 x 8 deals too. In the next coming years.

Dude, you won't get any pity over here from.. what did you call us in your pre-GDT.. the Laffs? lol

Hoping MB gets a long-term extension!!

Let's crush these guys tonight.

 

[Leafblooded]

Bobcat clearly displaying concussion-like symptoms. Someone lock him in the quiet room

 

[FlareKnight]

Definitely hope to see the Leafs beat Montreal and keep gaining points. Fingers crossed that Matthews is 100% and good to go. Obviously don't rush him in if he's not, but hopefully he can play. Always nice to have your best player.

Could be set for some good games ahead with Marner and his line playing better along with Nylander breaking his slump in a big way last game.

Plus just fun to beat Montreal so hopefully we can keep doing that.

 

[Eternal Leaf]

Patch, Drouin, Chucky, and Benn out today with flu-like symptoms... and the chance of a Niemi start.

(from Habs thread)

wow!!!

If Niemi plays, it's going to be a downright beating.

 

[HellasLEAF]

6 - 1 Leafs

lol what a guy. One of the more pathetic things i've seen on here

 

[A1LeafNation]

Andersen shouldn't be playing more than 62 games. He should be rested for the playoffs.

If mcelhinney can't play vs. bottom feeders, then call up a goalie or trade for one who can.

Give the back up all the back2back games and the rest of the Arizona, Buffalo, Edmonton games.

If he makes it to next season and you guys start winning, you're all going to pretend you never wanted him gone. Kind of like the Price fiasco back in 2010.

None of you remember booing Price and the hundreds of "the Price is WRONG" signs either.

Hell, Habs fans are already turning on price again now.

Reasons to be worried;

- leafs are due for a loss
- leafs this season have a history of playing lazy against bad teams
- montreal ALWAYS puts up a great game against the leafs
- might not have matthews yet
- montreal just got embarrassed by phoenix
- analytics says montreal isnt as bad as they currently are in the standings
