Sucks Poehling got hurt, clearly he’d have been in the lineup for these last few games.

 

[Riddick412]

Switch Staal with Evans and it's not a terrible line up.

not at the cost of Belzile he wouldn’t

 

[Capz]

Just play well and let's get healthy for the playoffs. Need some bodies back.

 

[OnceWasNot]

3-2 Leafs

 

[iamtalbot]

Kk back at center with real wingers. Time for him to show his stuff.

I'm still holding out hope he just needs more time to develope like barkov did in Florida.

If he becomes chuckie 2.0 well just add it to the list of poor draft choices we've made in the last 15 years

 

[Runner77]

I took the challenge, stared into the abyss, but the pornstache didn't faze me ...

Barkov was already stud by year 3, last hope is a Couterier breakout who broke out year 5.

 

[McGees]

Should be a little closer than last game. 4-2 Leafs.

 

[Habs]

I don't even care right now, but f*** you Ducharme, Shitrot, Kotkaniemi and Kulak just to get it out of the way early.

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Go
Always satisfying to beat the Leafs

 

[iamtalbot]

dang, you're right. for some reason I thought it took longer for Barkov but ya 28 goals in year 3. not good comparable anymore

edit - removed wrong smiley face i added fr me feeling dumb came out like me looking saucy

 

[JuicyHam]

Not sure if I want us to win convincingly to scare the leafs going into the playoffs or lose embarrassingly to give them false confidence. Either way i'm worried the outcome will be the same regardless

 

[Tyson]

The chemistry Evans, Caufield and Lehkonen quickly developed should have been left alone

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Switch Staal with Evans and it's not a terrible line up.

Evans needs to float more and be a lot less engaged in the play if he wants to replace Staal

On a different note, there must be a 500 m restraining order around schools and playgrounds for #34, greasy AF

 

[Doc McKenna]

Go Habs Go. Hopefully Staal breaks a nail and has to sit out. CC with him I guess DUM DOM thinks the vets will help him out, much like last game .

Would be nice for the kk line to get a goal or two. They have all been a little snakebit lately. Even if we lose they need to be ready for the playoffs, going in without an 800lb gorila on their back would be nice.

 

[smirob]

would be nice to set the tone in our last chance before the playoffs.

Suzuki and Petry will carry the team to a 3-1 win, with a goal by Perry

 

[Doc5]

Poor KK, went from first line winger to being demoted to 3rd line centre and now promoted to 1st line centre within a week all while playing the same way

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

The chemistry Evans, Caufield and Lehkonen quickly developed should have been left alone

Caufield looked good with Staal and Perry as well.

 

[Bomatane]

Nostrils will suck our air again ...

 

[ahmedou]

STAY OUT OF THE INFIRMARY...

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Ez loss, unless Toronto is desperate to face us in the first round of the playoffs.

The kid seems to have zero luck...
