Muzzin has to be out, right? That looked like a pulled groin to me.

Yeah, if he plays get in the forecheck hard, you can nurse a groin strain to some extent if you’re just skating but if you force him to exert force it won’t last long

I pulled my groin in a hockey related situation... slipped on ice throwing my goalie pads in the car. Not exactly a highlight moment but I was hurt for like a month. It sucked.

Obviously, he is a professional athlete and has access to top-tier medical support so it’s no comparison to scrubs like me. However, it’s a crappy injury that is really bothersome. If it is this and even if it’s playable, he’s going to be hampered for sure.

Not to be a bad person but I hope he plays a 75% Muzzin is better for us than a healthy player.

Everyone has some type of injury in the playoffs....it is what it is

Anderson looks to be skating on one leg

 

[Back in Black]

Blow those Leaves away boys.

Bag 'em and send them to the curb!!!!

 

[Seb]

This can be an extremely legendary night.

Yeah that has been an issue for some games now!

 

[Whitesnake]

Unfortunately, it should be the end tonight. Our older guys will have enough. And you have to expect to see Matthews and Marner finally show up. Could be close, but this one is not going to OT.

I've had two groin injuries playing hockey. One when I was 13 and full of piss and vinegar, so it was manageable. Could play on it, could barely walk after, and then could play on it the next game.

The other was when I was playing high school hockey and it was terrible. Did everything I could to get it ready for the final game, took one hit early on and tweaked it. Was done for the night.

Muzzin's 32. That's not great, professional athlete or not. He might be good to go at first because of the reasons you mentioned, but as the game wears on it will be a factor.

Just skating would be difficult and his acceleration would be crap. It would actually hurt the team if he played like that. If that's what it was. It certainly loooked that way though.

I posted it the other day and it needs to be re-posted because it is Montreal's own Captain Kirk!!

Game 7...get ready!

Last Game 7:



Price huge in this game.

Took me a while to remember who #49 was

Ya Price was super dialed in that game. I had totally forgotten that Gionta was captain for like 5 years lol The Habs were damn fast back then though....but same old same old...couldn't play D much. So many tiny bodies in that lineup.

 

[Adam Michaels]

I'm cautiously optimistic. But I can't help but feel like the Leafs will take it tonight.

Minnesota was able to come back from a 3-1 series deficit to force a Game 7, but they lost. Here's hoping that the Habs have the oppositte result after forcing a Game 7 after being down 3-1 in their series.

 

[cphabs]

Those fans here who said habs would be out in 4 straight should have their own thread called 'I was wrong, forgive me'. You post your apologies in there, THEN you are allowed back in this thread.

I said 5! Ya baby!

 

[cphabs]

Crush these pansies!

 

[Andy]

I guarantee a habs win. If they don't I will finally change my avatar...but I am not worried. The Leafs are toast. They won't beat Carey Price in a game 7.

 

[Uber Coca]

I'll say it again; Bergevin can have one more year as the GM of this team if they eliminate Toronto. Ducharme can f*** off whatever happens.

I can hear the whole metropolitan area of Toronto collectively clenching from where I sit. Can't wait to watch Matthews defeat face, again.

 

[Adam Michaels]

 

[Milhouse40]

It's the young leaders (Matthews, Marner) versus the old leaders (Price, Weber)
It's the team that should have a chance to win everything versus those who didn't stand a chance.
It's skills versus character

Still can't believe this team has a chance to win that series tonight.
We have Carey Price to thank for that and this team should thank him back tonight.

Now it's one game....

I won't make any predictions on that one.
But from Carey Price to the young kids being known as stepping up in those big game and with all those hard working character guys, the leaders with experience....

All I'm going to say is that I like our chances and it would be awesome to have more hockey this week.
Let's do this!

 

[MarkJ]

haven't they been through enough?

 

[blarneylad]

My stupid hot take here, but why put a limit on fully vaccinated? Is this not the solution to the end of the pandemic or not?

Thankfully they are allowing some though and this should be a historic night regardless of who wins

[Monsieur Miz]

The amount of pressure the Leafs are under is insane. They'll crumble once again.

Because you can still get the virus even if you're vaccinated.
