Man I love seeing this. You can tell the boys are having fun right now. Which is exactly what this group needs. Gotta wonder how much an impact like jumbo is making on the room, even when he is injured. Also simmonds. This is an energy I haven't seen from AM/Mitch since their rookie years.LFG!

I feel like Sabourin should only play against teams that has a Tkachuk, for eg. Ottawa or Calgary.

On the flip side, Montreal does play Edmonton Thursday night while we're off until the rematch on Saturday. Sweep both games in regulation and we can negate a potential disaster next Saturday

Our division is average. Montreal has greatly improved with signings this summer. They have added some scoring and size. Two things they were clearly missing in previous seasons.

they have taken on more of a leadership role this year. It’s nice to see, we are especially attached because we are watching them grow up before our eyes. They are maturing into amazing players and leaders, they have come along way. All those guys, Hyman, Matthews, Nylander, Marner, Rielly
If we beat up on VAN/OTT --> .800 winning % = 30 points
Take 5 of 9 or 6 of 10 from CAL/WIN/EDM - 32 points
I'm ok with playing the Habs to .500 winning % (4-4-1) = 9 points
That would be 71 points --> .634 Winning %
= 104 point pace (82 game season)
That's only 50 more points in the remaining 43 games = 23-16-4 (95 point pace)
We would likely finish first or second in the Division and we'd be adding at the TDL.
Leafs - Habs in the 2nd round. Man I've waited since 1979 to see that.

A lot of the narrative from fans and media so far has been that the North is weak and Montreal is the only true test. This game is also being hyped up like crazy.
What does that spell? A loss, whether big or small, will have fans and media overreacting like we are in Vancouver's situation.
Me? I'll just be sitting here like chill 10-3-1 on to the next one and Matthews is bae.

Lol why would the captain who is way more valuable to the team go and fight someone who isn't. Its like saying I wonder if mathews would fight Edmonson
Man, if we have a really good week and a bit, from Feb 13th-20th, the standings could look pretty great for us. Yes, we'd have more games played (by 3 I think?) but we could be potentially as many as like 13 points ahead (if the Habs lose to Edmonton, who are playing much better since they first played the Habs). We need to keep our foot on the gas and come out ready each night. Big opportunity.

Why da f*ck did ur captain cross check Matty 5X in da back and hurt him for??? Back in my day if that happened to our best player it was immediate cross check to nose to break it and then destroy guy with everything you had. Then message was loud and clear. There was no misunderstandings.

I thought it was Chiarot doing the cross checks.
People can call the North weak, but I still say a team from there will make it to the conference finals. Bold take, I know.
Fans of teams from the other divisions would be unwise to downplay the good teams in the North. Whoever emerges from this division into the conference finals (hopefully us) will be feeling really confident and will undoubtedly be a threat to win it all.
Because now the guy who dishes out justice works for the NHL and if a player takes matters into his own hands, he's a villain. Just gotta sit back and let the NHL handle things like they did when Kerfoot got run in the numbers the other night. If a Leafs player gave the perpetrator a deserved beat down, he would probably get suspended and cost his team the game and then we'd get to hear from our great media on how he's such a bad guy.
Protect the pests and punish the guys keeping them in check all while screwing up officiating and discipline.
Progress in the new NHL.....

Isn't that a given? The winner of the North plays the winner of the East in the conference finals. Definitely a more favourable path for the Leafs than that of previous years which went through Boston.

Gallagher gets hit like that all the time when he's in a dirty area, it's the way the game is played. He's a foot smaller then most players and he takes that punishment. If you don't want that cross check keep away from that area. I wouldn't have my star player in that area considering he's way more leathal just shooting the puck. Looking forward to an entertaining game, leafs are playing great, if we can stay from taking penalties habs should win if not then its an easy win for the Leafs
I am so sick of that BS with Jacobs too ... most of u guys don't know it but everyone in hockey has known for many years about this Jacobs BS with Bettman for years ... ask Shanny how many times a day Jacobs calls Gary ... he was there he knows ... Leafs Habs and Rangers need to stand up and romp out this BS and create their own gang ... Jacobs and his crew need to get taught a lesson too ... we need to get more professional at board level here
I can't wait it will be a great game ... I love Gally he is my fav on ur team but it is a little different when he crashes da net for pucks ... Matty was just cruising through for a tip ... he did nothing to deserve da Weber whacks and then da Chiarot whacks ... you know that too i suspect ... anywho I have it on good sources that Simmonds will challenge Weber next game when it is his time ... should be a good tilt ... Simmonds is in fine form toying with Benn
