GDT: Game 57: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens 2/8/20 7:00pm EST CBC, TVA Hockey Day in Canada

[PaulD]

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

But didnt mention that on the goal he was referring to (the 4th one) Matthews in a weak effort gave the puck away up the middle right to a Ranger ...who scored.
Or Marner just watching his man Krieder go from center right to the leaf net..... and score.

Hutch is not good enough for the NHL. Rather than Keefe telling the media "we need a save" He should be telling Dubas long ago "we need more than one NHL goalie"

Campbell gave up 4 last night with a save percentage of under 900. At home , against the lousy Ducks, who were on a the end of a back to back, 3rd game in four nights.Hutchinson like numbers.

The loafs needed a 4 on 3 in overtime to get the win.

They are 29th in goals allowed (with Anderson)

Contender... my ass.

Anything can happen once you make the playoffs


(if they make it)

lol.

I cant think of a team (16 team league and on) that finished bottom 5 in goals against and got near the finals.

Ahmedou: Smoke the maple weeds

Habs: Beat the Maple Laffs

 

[DangerDave]

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

It's going to be an offense focused game with both teams deploying depleted defense corps. That being said, the Habs are a very good possession team and that should make life really difficult for the leafs who really struggle on their breakouts and when pressured. We have a huge advantage in nets too which will be a big factor.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

The TANK hat is off tonight always nice to smack up Toronto's overrated team

 

[beh3moth]

Expecting a high scoring game given our weak defense and their weak goaltending

 

[peate]

We can beat them again and go 3-0, plus make up some ground, or lose and declare it's officially over. Hopefully the former happens, and it should be a full house with Leaf fans in town.

GOGO​

Feels like forever since these two met. They must have a few more before this season is over

I wouldn’t be surprised to see NYLANDER back in. It was probably a 24 hour flu. I’m disappointed Drouin is still holding out even though medically cleared. It has been 3 weeks past what was expected.

 

[Habs10Habs]

According to Eric Engels. It's up to Drouin if he's ready to go tonight.

Now Julien said he could be there. My hope is not quite high but still, it would be great to see a LW composed of Drouin, Kovalchuk and Tatar for tonight!

 

[The Great Weal]

According to Eric Engels. It's up to Drouin if he's ready to go tonight.

Ya that's what CJ said too. I think he sits this one out and plays against Arizona.

Growing up a Habs fan. He'd have to be feeling pretty bad to skip this one. If he is though, I hope he doesn't rush it.

One more - last game of the season. Imagine if Montreal has a chance to knock them off a playoff spot in the last game in Toronto.

That would definitely be our Cup if that happened

 

[LaTenderness]

What did ILYA do to deserve such bum line mates



get him back up on the Hands Line coach..... fa$t

 

[JianYang]

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.

I dont think it matters either way. Even if they win, they'll fumble those points in their next meeting against Detroit.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Poehling sent down to Laval..could mean Drouin is leaning more towards playing

I'm honestly happy that Drouin is taking his time. I don't want any player to be rushed back to play.

Right.... But Habs need him badly.

Nobody's rushing him, he's been ready for a week, the wimp.

Then he's ready.. Like any healthy professional out there.

The curry has been eaten, the late night snacks are in the fridge, the Belgian beers are in the fridge (and already on the go to be honest) and Mrs Walrus is perfectly happy for me to stay up past 2am as long as the headphones stay on.

Habs vs Leafs on the HNIC broadcast incoming.
