Pre-Game Talk: Game 13: Leafs @ Canadiens, February 10 at 7:30 PM EST

[Skip Bayless]

Moving Kotkaniemi in front of the net seems like poor use of his talents. As others mentioned, it's also a genuine threat to him with Weber on the same unit.

Also just noticed Romanov not on either unit

He's got a wrister that takes forever and handles the puck like a grenade. He's not meant to play on the half-wall. (KK)

At least he can exploit his playmaking and use his frame around the net in his new position. He better embrace it and work his ass off, or else...

I actually think the half wall is exactly where he belongs. I hope you're right about him at the net, but I'm also genuinely concerned about him taking one of Weber's mile-wide bombs.

Kotkaniemi seems to be becoming a polarizing figure on here these days. In my opinion we should be pretty happy with how his game is rounding out this early in his career. The sky is still the limit for him.

 

[ItzaGreat]

I'm also curious to see which celebrity that was relevant in the 80's & 90's the Habs will have film a Cameo video tomorrow.

Whoever sells cheap spots Cameo.com

You can get Chuck Norris for 450$ lol

Chances are weber will hit him on the half wall with his shot before he hits him near the net so don't worry.

Apparently PK is driving Price’s numbers down

couldnt use the main stats , so they went digging for 1 to show us.

He's mainly going to be on the goal line. Same position Drouin played before the recent changes.

You know you miss hockey when you get interested in a Sens vs Oilers game.

 

[Ezpz]

Must win. I hate Leafs fans.

That, or at the very least, Habs have to stop taking dumb ass penalties. Mostly though, Price needs to be better.

 

[Rondo Hatton]

Leafs on a sugar rush will be crashing, Habs got this, won't even be close

 

[azcanuck]

Price stands there and hope it hits him.

Price has been ranked poorly for allowing goals from high danger places for three years now .

Looks like oilers will be beating senators twice in a row. Something couldn’t do.

 

[azcanuck]

Leafs PP clicking around 40 percent which is ridiculous. They are much less effective than us 5-5. Our PK will have to be sharp and we have to stop taking so many bad penalties. Kulak is right up there for doing that.

 

[HuGo Sham]

Must win. I hate Leafs fans.

checking on their board, i find them clueless compared to our knowledge of their lineup. it's f***ing weird. will be a good game - and we should win if we stay out of the box. quality depth vs high end talent + we have a better D and goalies

ps this rivalry switches significantly if suzuki and KK take big steps in the next year or two

 

[Skip Bayless]

I'm calling 16 penalties against us for delay of game

 

[azcanuck]

I'm anticipating Perry over Armia based on what jersey's they wore in practice.
Besides Perry deserves it. He's been great.

TSN needs more Kleenex - Matthews has been so good.

He's been great at sucking and making KK look like a bust again. Horrible numbers considering he was also on PP. The only reason Perry wore the same jersey was if Armia wouldn't have felt good after the full contact.
