Pre-Game Talk: GAME #53 | HABS @ LEAFS | THURS 7PM | TSN

Is there a game?

For some reason I thought there was a game tonight. My bad.

Anyone think that Mikheyev should’ve been given a chance on one of the top 2 lines?

I get he can’t finish to save his life, but it would be a highly effective strategy (especially if/when we face Edmonton) to have his shutdown abilities running against a teams top forward like McDavid while the rest of the line, most likely the Tavares-Nylander pair, feasts offensively

I dont post on other teams forums if thats what you are implying. Whether in peace or protest. But I do lurk.

I think that's fine, as long as you don't troll.

Surprised to see Brooks as an extra and Noesen drawing in .. Figured Keefe would roll:

Mikheyev-Kerfoot-Engvall
Spezza-Brooks-Simmonds

Although I guess they're going to play Noesen to see if they have something there. Not a bad call given they're in tune up mode for the playoffs.

Keefe said that a decision hasn’t been made there yet.

Does that mean Andersen is Starting tomorrow?

If he gets a game at all I'm guessing Ottawa next week to get back into a game before the playoffs but it's Campbell starting the playoffs.

Montreal is getting slaughtered by Ottawa right now.. They will come out angry tomorrow is my guess.

I highly doubt Edmonton wins 8 straight games going into the playoffs. They are not a good enough team.

They may only lose once, or lose a couple of times in OT or something, but I highly doubt they win 5 in a row. Every Oiler loss counts the same as a Leafs win towards those 5 points.

Oilers play the Nucks 3X & Habs 2X so there's a good chance they win their remaining games.

Number of points matter IF you make it to the Final Four.

With our luck we'll face Boston again. lol

I'd love that tbh.
