The habs took a night off last night so they could pummel the laffs tonight.

 

[Tyson]

Habs will limp into the playoffs having the worst record of all 16 playoff teams. Not much of an accomplishment.

A house cleaning is so needed.

 

[Habs]

if the Leafs were smart they would sit some of their key players because Kotkaniemi will probably fall on someone from his lack of skating skills.

 

[Le Tricolore]

An improvement on having the worst record of all 24 teams last year!

A cleaning yes, but we not as far as it seems, lots of good pieces, just need someone that understands team building through talent and not just language and stares

 

[Tyson]

Yeah that's the new norm...having seriously low standards like this

[HockeyJunkie87]

We’re gonna need some more duct tape boys ..

 

[Habssince89]

Looks like there's a chance Tatar returns to the lineup tonight. Have to imagine Frolik would leave for him:

Tatar-Danault-Anderson
Toffoli-Suzuki-Armia
Caufield-Kotkaniemi-Evans
Lehkonen-Staal-Perry

 

[MarkovsKnee]

We get a point. We eliminate Calgary.

If we get a point & Canucks lose to Edmonton again tonight, we clinch.

That's the goal. Just get a f***ing point.

 

[the]

Can’t wait to be back in the playoffs!!

Anything can happen in the playoffs!!

Woooohoooooooo

 

[sheed36]

After the complete no show from the Habs last night I have no interest in wasting another 2 and a half hours watching the Habs again tonight. I'm pretty much expecting the Habs to get blown out tonight but as long as someone makes Brodie or some other Leaf pay for that garbage Brodie slash on Kotkaniemi from the last game I don't even care about the score.

I want to just get it over with. Get a point for sure, we're mathematically in (if VAN loses) and then we can breath. Toronto or Edmonton, we have an uphill climb either way.

I honestly don't trust Vancouver to win any of their games against Calgary at the end of the year. I know that's being kind of irrational but if it came down to depending on them to win a game that we needed them to, I wouldn't be confident at all.

They have 4 games against eachother and unless there is a sweep there then we make the playoffs with 1 point in our last 5 games.

Tatar-Danault-Anderson
Toffoli-Suzuki-Armia
Caufield-Kotkaniemi-Evans
Lehkonen-Staal-Perry

Would be great if he’s back, but I would hope they’d sit Staal

first two lines the same as yours then:
Lekhonen-KK-Caufield
Frolik-Evans-Perry

 

[Saundies]

Yeah, I know. But we play Toronto twice and Edmonton twice, the two best teams in the division. And Calgary plays the Sens (who, are arguably good as well) and then Vancouver 4 times.

If Calgary beats Ottawa, I don't trust Vancouver to win even one of those last 4 games. They're just a bad team right now. If we falter down the stretch, and if last night is any indication, we're capable of doing that, then I'm gonna be worried.

Staal does serve a purpose though over Frolik, that being 55% at faceoffs.

I'm guessing

Perry - Staal - Evans is the 4th line.

You know we were on a 3 game winning streak before last night right? People do this a lot but that's extreme recency bias. We had 1 bad game after winning 3. We can most certainly get 1 point in 5 games.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Should have played Primeau last night.

We were on a 3 game winning streak where we trailed in all of those games and won 2 in OT. We tied the Leafs with 50 seconds left in the game and eventually won, and the team we did beat in regulation was the Jets who were in the midst of their own 6 game losing streak.

We didn't exactly blow the doors off the competition and seize control of a game, and those weren't against the cream of the crop in the North either.

 

[sandviper]

We win a game, change up the lines. We lose, let's keep things status quo.

 

[sampollock]

tonight could be a blow out by the figs, their team has 2 very solid scoring lines.... may hurt us bad.
and the habs are so lack luster, we may be turning off the game by the 2nd period.

sure hope I am wrong, but I have been disappointed so many times, from the lack of effort

 

[Tyson]

Yeah let's limp into the playoffs and get swept by Toronto.

I remember many years ago doing the same thing and watching Boston sweep the Habs.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

Not expecting anything tonight with how the team didn't show up last night...expecting the line blender to be in full effect...Dum Dom and Bargain Bin need to be shown the door as soon as this sad-sack season is over...
