Can anyone guess the two GMs involved in this GDT are and the significance of these players to them?

 

[HabsDood]

Gomez was Gainey, Phaneuf I'd have too google it

Gomez and Gionta were a good shot at a cup to Gainey

Burke maybe?

 

[HabsDood]

Burke maybe?

Rings a bell

 

[CHfan1]

Burke maybe?

Burke traded for Phaneuf and Giguere and traded away Kessel (which turned into the 2nd overall pick and Seguin for Boston and selecting Dougie Hamilton the next season with the 9th overall pick)

 

[CHfan1]

For Montreal Gainey acquired Gomez (losing McDonagh), Tanguay, and Kovalev.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Burke & Gainey

Gomez & Phaneuf we’re both involved in 7 player trades

Kovalev and Kessell were the best players either acquired during their time

No clue on the last 2

This will be the first game in awhile that I'll be watching from the beginning. There's something beautiful when the media's high-school crush on the Maple Losers punctures like a cheap balloon.

 

[Phil Parent]

This game is so, so important. Whatever hopes we have to make the playoffs ride on this one. We HAVE to win this. The difference between 4 points behind and 8 points behind is HUGE.

They barely pulled through last night agains the Ducks (who are bad) playing their 3rd game in 4 nights.

With Weber out I can’t see the Habs coming out on top of this one but how sweet it would be if they did.

 

[CoopersFalls]

Whether winning is good for us or not, I always want us to beat the Leafs! I live in Central Ontario, surrounded by Leafers, so it’s even more fun!

 

[Poehday]

Any word on Drouin yet? really hope he can make it back tonight.

 

[sharks9]

Campbell wasn't great last night so we'll probably get Hutchinson, should be a high scoring game!

Rangers are right behind us with multiple games in hand. I think almost every game moving forward is a must win.

Leafs will have a really hard time containing the Habs offense. A good forecheck will win the Habs the game.

not ready yet, or so he said yesterday

 

[MasterDecoy]

i predict the habs get smoked.

or campbell just shits himself all over the crease and we win somehow

one or the other

Is Campbell definitely playing? Seems weird after he wasn't great last night.

 

[vokiel]

Home game: I predict a loss.

 

[Tuggy]

Standings and agendas go out the window for me.

Pound the Leafs into the ground and embarrass them.

Leafs will have a really hard time containing the Habs offense. A good forecheck will win the Habs the game.

I just worry about our defense without Weber against the league's best top goal scorer Matthews, plus Tavares, Marner, and Nylander.

 

[Warden of the North]

I expect he is. Keefe was not kind about Hutchinson after his last game on Wednesday.

Yup I’m in Ontario as well, most people around me are Leafs as well
