Leafs will play 3 times this week, we will be rusty early in the game, but should stomp them this time!!
The TO media will then whine the Habs were off all week, and were rested.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

5 more days , please end me

1- Tatar has to be back in the lineup
2- Suzuki
3- At this point we should decline them , we are better at 5v5

The key point going into our next game is we are 9-0 when we have at least one more goal than our opponents at the end of regulation.

Tatar will be back for sure and hopefully plays more engaged. Centers need to step up and score goals, it's getting really concerning at this point. Mete should play over Kulak again and I would even put him with Weber and drop Chiarot down with Romanov. Hopefully Price plays like last time. Depending on how Frolik does in Laval, I'd give him a shot on the 4th line instead of Byron/Perry. It's going to be a long 5 days.

Great... now you've jinxed it and we'll lose after being ahead after regulation.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Leafs are bad
And Danault too

Pls call me Shakespeare

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lineup:

Toffoli -- Danault -- Gallagher
Drouin -- Suzuki -- Anderson
Tatar -- Kotkaniemi -- Armia
Lehkonen -- Evans -- Perry

Edmundson -- Petry
Chiarot -- Weber
Mete -- Romanov

Price

We'll get 1 PP. Leafs will get 5.

Leafs have 3 games vs Ottawa this week. Sens are a hard working group, so they'll hopefully tire the Leafs out for us.

Leafs will be playing their 5th game in 8 days, and completing a 3 in 4.

We win 3-1.

 

[Mrb1p]

Its the 2nd time in 2 weeks that they get 3+ days off ? Wtf is that calendar. This sux.

 

[Habs]

Its the 2nd time in 2 weeks that they get 3+ days off ? Wtf is that calendar. This sux.

and they still haven't played Winnipeg lol, I don't get it.

 

[c3z4r]

Why are we waiting for so long before playing a game?

To top it off we’re going to play a back to back on Saturday and Sunday.

this schedule sucks so much.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Lineup:

Toffoli -- Danault -- Gallagher
Drouin -- Suzuki -- Anderson
Tatar -- Kotkaniemi -- Armia
Lehkonen -- Evans -- Perry

Edmundson -- Petry
Chiarot -- Weber
Mete -- Romanov

If they get 5pps we’d better be ready. Our pk hasn’t been good this year.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

I hope this is a 5 period game, cause it might take that long for the habs to get warmed up

 

[sharks9]

Can Toronto do us a favour and lose 3 straight to the Sens?

 

[MasterDecoy]

i hate having to watch other teams because of these giants breaks...

 

[The Real Timo]

Lol. Galchenyuk is now a leaf.

 

[Habssince89]

Lineup wise, I don't know who sits for Tatar if he is draw back in other than Byron, so assuming that...

Drouin-Suzuki-Anderson
Toffoli-Danault-Gallagher
Tatar-Kotkaniemi-Armia
Lehkonen-Evans-Perry

Not bad. I think give Perry some shifts with KK to bring some extra offensive ability, and Armia to the 4th line in exchange for some better defensive ability. My prediction for this game is that Tatar will look bad, and then suddenly score twice.

No changes to the D, Price in net.

Leafs will be tired and we need to skate and hit them up and down the rink. Let's get some Lisa Simpson HACK THE BONE energy for this one.

 

[The Real Timo]

Can Toronto do us a favour and lose 3 straight to the Sens?

They are currently dismentalling the senators after two. So highly unlikely.

 

[GoodKiwi]

I have a feeling TO is going to curb stomp MTL. They're a much better team.

 

[Big Lurk]

So Galchenyuk is now with the enemy : (

wtf

 

[admiralcadillac]

I hope the refs will make the tremendously difficult decision to actually penalize the leafs on occasion but I did enjoy a game without too many powerplays.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

It's now 5-4. I turned it off when Leafs went up 4-1. They then went up 5-1. Ottawa has scored 3 straight goals. Lol

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Leafs had a 5-1 lead against the sens, and lost 6-5 lol

 

[Habssince89]

lol leafs crumbled. I hope they have as hard a week as possible coming into saturday. We will have a bit of rust, but they will be hopefully be exhausted.

 

[Kojo]

Is Price able to play well two games in a row, or do we play Allen?
