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

[WeThreeKings]

I get hating the signing is your schtick but Edmundson has taken 1 minor penalty this season.

Was he not one of the ones who sticked Stutzle in the face?

Ah it was Kulak. My B

Let's not forget it's not only the leafs Habs will have to beat on Wed. Also 4 refs will be playing a major role against Mtl... it's a guarantee.

Leafs Fans: The Refs are always against us!!

Habs Fans: The Refs are always against us!!

From Feb. 20 to May 3 (73 days) they play 39 games and only have 2 -2 day breaks (Feb.28-Mar1 & Apr 17-18).

That's insane! I mean it's great as a fan to not have those long breaks, but it'll be pretty tough for the players. As we save cap space during that week off we might need to rotate some players in and out of the taxi squad so guys don't get too tired

I suspect Armia is back in on Wednesday.

Hope so...watching Corey Perry in any other area then deep in the offensive zone is painful.

 

[Habs]

Rumor is, Sportsnet will cover the game, but only show the Leafs in the broadcast. There is to be no mention of any other team or player, unless McDavid is on the other side.

Its not as bad as watching Tatar or Byron yet.

It's MUCH worse...stop lol

We are a fast team and he can't move in the neutral zone lol

That doesn't apply to Byron or Tatar...come on man lol

Fully expecting the obligatory Leafs 5 on 3

 

[Tyson]

Leafs have been lights out good for a while.

Will be the toughest test of the year so far

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

It's MUCH worse...stop lol

We are a fast team and he can't move in the neutral zone lol

That doesn't apply to Byron or Tatar...come on man lol

But Byron and Tatar have been completely USELESS offensively. Perry has not.

 

[BLONG7]

Keep the game at even strength as much as possible (no cheap stick infractions) and they will win this game.

Their PP is usually top notch!!
We can't take penalties....we just can't.

 

[Archijerej]

Our penalty kill is not very good at preventing goals against. Staying out of the box will be crucial in this game.

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

Simmonds gone for 6 weeks as is most of the Leafs toughness with him.

 

[FloJack]

I'm pretty sure that's confirmed and not a rumor.

 

[Adam Michaels]

According to CapFriendly, Habs placed Perry and Kotkaniemi on the Taxi Squad.

I don't really get hating the signing at all

 

[FloJack]

They look like a well oiled machine and are taking themselves seriously, should be a good game. They are the team to beat whether Habs fans like it or not.

 

[Adam Michaels]

Simmonds gone for 6 weeks as is most of the Leafs toughness with him.

Tough for the Leafs, eh? They lose two of their Top-6 long term in Thornton and Simmonds.

 

[David Suzuki]

Well he isn't particularly good at hockey relative to the other defenseman in the league.

 

[le_sean]

Well he isn't particularly good at hockey relative to the other defenseman in the league.

He’s fine at his job and is paid accordingly. He’s clearly better than the crap we’ve been throwing out there the last few years. In fact his defensive partner is having the best season of his career and is one of the best in the league right now.

When you have guys like Tyler Myers making $6m a year, Edmundson at $3.5m is pretty good.

 

[Habs]

Simmonds gone for 6 weeks as is most of the Leafs toughness with him.

what happened? Can't be bothered to look at tsn or sportstaint for bloated Leaf articles.

 

[David Suzuki]

Not sure that's how I'd view things but obviously I'd rather have Edmundson then Myers

He is a good player.....that is a fact.

Not of the cheap stick infractions which we seem determined to do.
