There's a way to get him out of the lineup but it's risky. Play him 20 minutes tomorrow.

This team needs to figure out how to play against a team that clogs neutral zone; and generate shots on net. One off game; I wouldn't be as pissed if this was against any other team other than monteal
montreal has no fire power; they will basically play columbus/NYI style hockey; look for turnovers and then counterattack. if we throw the puck blindly in the offensive zone OR even worse defensive zone; dont think it is fair to blame the goalie.
How many odd man rushes did montreal get today compared to us? cant have that.....

Habs fan checking in.
obviously the Habs were a more desperate team tonight due to our struggles. Leafs are sitting pretty comfortably and came out flat which isn’t surprising. Lucky bounce for us but the way we played in the first probably deserved the lead. Leafs looked like the leafs in the second. They are able to create pressure down low on us a lot more constant than we can. We are more of a hardworking opportunistic team and we are deadly on the rush at times. I think the downlow pressure is much more of an advantage in a series than our turn over quick rush style. Mcdavid is the best player in the league but matthews is the scariest when he’s about to shoot. Lethal player. Strong on his stick. Doesn’t lay a lot of hits but he’s not soft like a lot of fan based claim. Not even close. I did enjoy romanov roughing him up a bit tho lol. Marner is unreal as well how bout that pass tonight.
leafs were missing Nylander, Foligno, Nylander, Hutton? Did I get that right?
Habs potentials for playoffs - Gallagher, armia, chariot, Merrill, gustaffson, and Caufield.
is that enough to compete with the leafs? I’m not sure we’re hoping big time thay caufield can contribute right away.
obviously the leafs have the advantage and if I had to bet my house it would be on them. I do think tho that the Habs play style doesn’t allow them to go that hard all the time in the regular season and our lack of elite talent we can play some bad games. I do think however when push comes to shove in the playoffs we will be able to play with that intensity and tenacity that closes the gap some on the leafs. But I still think the leafs have what it takes this year to go deep. I just hope I’m wrong. Cheers everyone

every game shoukd mean something. I just don’t get people when they say meaningless. Every point counts!
The Jets lost to Ottawa (lol) so nothing of value was lost today.
They absolutely cannot play Montreal like that in the first round though. Having Foligno, Nash, Hutton, Rittich, and the others is going to help this team a lot.

Come back after the 3 gamer before round one.
After the leafs dominate your boys, and Matty locks up the Hab named trophy, then we'll talk.
They flew in the night before to watch the masters. Probably hung over and/or bored to death which had lingering effects.
Definitely, but if the leafs want to go far, they need to learn to play the right way all the time, not just sometimes. Im also not as high on the leafs as their record indicates. There has been many times this year you could say, the leafs were not the best team and still won. People hear that and say, doesn’t that speak volumes about the leafs that they can still win even when they don’t play well? I take a different view. I see a team that has game breakers that can often score above their mistakes against mediocre teams but trust me, good teams will make them pay and the leafs won’t be able to score out of their problems. Columbus was a great example last year and if they don’t wake up, its going to be a team like the habs that will devastate them.
poor Joe, you need to sit him. He's a legend, but is clearly the 13th forward

The recipe for beating that kind of defense is usually funnelling the puck and bodies into an area with speed and support, chip and chase and heavy forecheck. We actually have the personnel to do this but I don’t know if that goes against the game plan. You’ll notice guys like Bogosian and Simmonds have really lightened their hitting.
Still not much of a reason to lose a very winnable game seeing as Montreal blew a 2-0 lead, though.

They forgot to put the "sponsor tag" under you avatar Jimmy.
What’s that? I can’t read what you wrote under the litany of ads on the page.
Ah well. We were bound for a stinker at some point here. No problem, it happens over the course of a year. Time to regroup and be ready for tomorrow! Glg!
I was a sponsor once. Then a mod gave me an infraction for liking 2 posts on an Isles GDT.
Then I wasn't a sponsor.

Please don't tell me our last three games of the regular season are against the Habs...

Cambell was going to lose eventually, that's just how hockey goes. They need to pick it up for the next one.
