Poor Freddy .

I think the guys are going to come out flying to prove a point against the team that beat them last year and the emotional high of Montreal.

Or they come out flatfooted and we find ourselves down a couple really early.

Tom Wilson's punk ass is probably gonna be running around with his cut off again and try to demolish one of our players.

Matt Martin better keep his ass in check

i wouldn't worry about Wilson honestly. If he has any impact on the game at all it will be to help us win by taking dumb penalties

Yeah, dude, I get that but that's not what I'm worried about. I'm worried about him injuring one of our star players. He's been playing completely reckless since the start of preseason and that's what's scaring me.

He can take all the dumb penalties he wants and ill be more than happy but if he charges one of our players from behind Im gonna lose it

oh yeah I know, I dont think that's a huge risk though tbh. He's a dirty and stupid player but our guys are smart and know to be aware of him

Man I was just looking through the Capitals lineup.....they are one Big/Heavy/Gritty/Mean squad. They're built like a Western Conference Team.

Kinda funny how they keep getting their asses kicked by the Penguins though lol

They very nearly got their asses kicked by us and we have only gotten better

Kuznetzov and Ovechkin scare me though, especially against a weak looking D and a cold Andersen.

yeah well the Flyers and Brian Elliot kept Ovi scoreless and their offense really punished them. We can do the same

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Really hoping to see Borgman absolutely lay out Wilson. Such a dirtbag of a player.

 

[Raym11]

12-11 OT Winner Matthews (nods)

gonna be crazy watching Matthews score 12 goals and Ovechkin 11

 

[bleaf87]

We gotta be prepared but Caps got demolished last game by Flyers with Ovy pointless and -4, tied for worst on team. Hopefully we missed Ovy's hot streak and he plays trash.

[bleaf87]

I hope so, as a Leafs fan we want all of our lines to succeed

We need to split the Bozak line up. They are -15 in five games this season!!!

JVR Matthews Brown
Komarov Bozak Nylander
Marleau Kadri Marner
Martin Fehr Hyman

Little Z Bobby Orr
Rielly Hainsey
Carrick Borgman

agreed. That loser shouldn't even be in the league after saying he doesn't want to change his game

Yikes - please don't given me a heart attack

 

[LeeIs]

We need to dress Kapanen

More Uncle Leo

My favourite uncle leo moment

 

[Canada4Gold]

Their defence is not very good on paper. Looks like three AHL defencemen. Probably another high scoring shootout game

Yep, 3 AHL defencemen, Ness, Bowey and Brooks Orpik

More seriously I've known of Djoos and Bowey for a while. Obviously NHL rookies and nothing guarenteed but they'll be solid I think.

 

[Mikeyg]

Leafs roll the craps in this one. Holtby has no answer for the leaf snipers, borgman will run backstrom at least twice, and freddie will show some life.

The guy is a true throwback to the garbage that the league is trying to get rid of. The real shame with a guy like Wilson is that he could be a Milan Lucic type of player. He has some skill, but he chooses to cross the line and take advantage of players in vulnerable positions. As much as I don't like goons, he'd have his lunch handed to him if he played a few years ago. Guys like Domi and Probert wouldn't hesitate for a second to put him in his place.

 

[Daisy Jane]

Yikes - please don't given me a heart attack

lol Babcock would literally die behind the bench.

 

[ACC1224]

This one is going to be ugly.

 

[Sypher04]

5-1 Leafs, because why the hell not.

 

[kk87]

The Caps don't look nearly as menacing on paper as they did last year. No shortage of elite talent obviously, but their depth leaves a lot to be desired and their defence looks mediocre without Niskanen. If we play our game I like our chances, but they can still lay a beatdown on us if we don't
