Pre-Game Talk: Circus rolls into town Saturday.

[Hoople]

I wonder if Hyman learned to keep his head up when Emelin's around.

Wonder how many Hyman's Emelin has....er, uh, umm

Never mind.

 

[LaP]

1 shot for every "Matthews" heard from the announcers when he's on the ice
2 shots for every "Matthews" heard from the announcers when he is not on the ice

I don't think 1k shots is possibly in a single game at this level.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Wonder how many Hyman's Emelin has....er, uh, umm

Never mind.

Wonder how many Emelins Hyman will be seeing after he's crushed.

One of those games that you simply cannot lose. In the NHL though you cannot take any team lightly. You got to bring it

With Radulov on the team we should rarely see stinkers ... This guy just hates to lose 24/7.

 

[Chili]

I'm probably one of the few here that remembers when this was a rivalry.

Great memories of John Ferguson and Eddie Shack getting into it or Toe Blake and Punch Imlach trading barbs in the press.

These two need a playoff series soon to spark a new one.

 

[Redux91]

I can't hate the Leafs, I just feel bad for them.

I despise absolutely everything to do with the leafs an their fanbase and their media, and wish them absolute misery and for misery to continue for them until the end of time

I at least respect Boston as a rival and worthy foe and as a great sports city

But Toronto is scum.

You bring up a good point in that with this leadership you would think the Habs will be ready to play game in, game out.

 

[Disturbed1]

I heard Matthews' sweat heals wounds.

It does. Also cure cancer.

 

[Runner77]

Love the thread title. Let's dismantle the tent before they even have a chance to set up shop. GHG.

I never hated them more than when they won the cup the year we had Expo '67. I've re watched the final game and Plante was weak on a few goals, we could have easily beat them. I miss the rivalry we used to have with them before the Bruins took over.

I don't know how many times the Habs have been upset in a final but that sure was one. Bower was great and Keon & co. stymied the Habs attack. Great memories of Expo 67 though.

 

[habamillions]

we could win 10-1 and if Matthews scored that would be the media's focus haha. Habs take this one, barring gifted PPs to Toronto or if we come out flat because we don't take them seriously. Should be a good one!

Hoping to see the lines from yesterday continue (Just for Rads with the Gallys )

That was exactly what happened in the preseason. habs won 6-1 and matthews scored. and thats all the media talked about

Anyone knows whats the nhl record for consecutive no regulation lost to start a season?

OK, but how do you "really" feel?

 

[CanadienShark]

"...tickets to this game FROM Gallagher"...?

Yep. Work connection from my brother. The connection knows Gallagher from his days as a Giant and called him up asking for tickets. Gally said sure.

 

[Athletique_Canadien]

Pretty sure it's Leafs 10 straight 1993-94

Rogie Vachon was the Habs goalie in the 1967 final.

 

[Subbaman]

Leafs fans are so cocky in their PGT when they have nothing to be cocky about. Lots more pain coming in Leafsland, don't they know it..?

 

[peate]

Rogie Vachon was the Habs goalie in the 1967 final.

Yeah you're right, my memory isn't what it used to be.

 

[LaP]

Serious question guys is Matthews ready for SuperNHL?
