GDT: Game 2: Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto Maple Leafs 10/5/19 7:00pm EST CBC, TVA, TSN 690

[The Real Timo]

Gonna be a tough one for sure, Domi and Weber will need to step up their game and we have to stay out of the penalty box as much as possible. I like our bottom 2 lines better then theirs but obviously they have us dead to rights on the front two.


Could be a long night for a guy like Chiarot.

Weber will need to catch any of the leafs in order to step it up. Don't see it happening. I can see Clod playing his 4th line about 35 minutes today.

Weber was really unimpressive and looked a step behind first game that's for sure. We need him to be an impact player tonight and for the rest of the season but I am starting to wonder if this is the start of a real big decline in his game, very worrisome.

this game is gonna have a lot of emotional swings

 

[OB5]

I’m scared

Leafs are not a team that likes playing high pace hockey. If the Habs give a similar effort as they did in the opener, leafs defense is going to struggle a lot.

lol the leafs play at one of the fastest high intensity paces in hockey....

 

[26Mats]

Last year, we were holding them pretty well 5 on 5. Their PP was the difference. Hopefully Habs learned from tuesday and cut on stupid penalties.

A face off violation and a too many men.

Killer. Cost us the game.

scared, sad, hopeless, angry, jealous.... yes I agree

 

[BaseballCoach]

Leafs are lucky Poehling isn't in the lineup, he would've eaten them alive

If we lose by less than three goals, MB should be fired, LOL.

Also, if we lose by three goals or more, the GM should be fired.

I think Webs needs the KK treatment - 12 minutes per game. And take all bench minors.

I would add to this... if Habs win, Bergevin should still be fired. Now that pretty much covers it.

Second game of a back-to-back and third game in four nights for the Leafs, and it is the untested backup goalie in net for them. Montreal has a lot going in their favor tonight.

 

[GordonGraham]

With Price in net habs will need to score 5 to win this one

Whatever will get his ass in gear I am in favour of, he wasn't even a threat on the p.p last game.

Not acceptable.

He was, they had a guy on him the whole time which opened up space for everyone else

Let this be Suzuki's coming out party to the league please

I love you. I've become a meme.

GTFO troll.

Seriously, I believe this is the year the Figs put it all together. No major flaws and a freakish offence.

How many calories does a tabarnac have?

The equivalent of two L. of maple syrup, ten tourtières, a pot of pea soup and whatever amount of poutine a human adult can stuff his body with.

Cool story...

Habs win tonight, Don Cherry retreats to the nursing home, an unhappy camper.

It's funny how it goes. Many saw the lag when he was still in Nashville whether it was considered fatigue or not it was very evident in the playoffs his last year there. No way in hell you can win when your shutdown guy goes -5 in a series. The lack of mobility is usually not quite as evident in the regular season but the forwards as a group just keep getting quicker. Shea may find himself in more penalty trouble this year.

Oh snap, I'll have to write this one off as a cheat day.

 

[Tabarouette]

I know everybody wants us to beat the Leafs, but I have Reilly in my fantasy team so I would ask everyone to cheer for the Leafs tonight

Thanks

Crap I forgot we get the National broadcast for once (LIE). How many tiny figs are sprouting on the east coast in recent years? A shout out to veteran Hab's fans there Keep the Strain Strong!

Everyone thought that of the Lightning last year
