[The Gr8 Dane]

We are going to get blown out our goaltenders are ass I doubt Monty plays as well for as many games as he did last year

If he does,he'll cost a pretty penny on his next contract.

Also, MSL starting with the vets ahead of RHP won't go well. At least it will be temporary.

I'm not up in arms about sending down Norlinder and Heineman , they will be the first to get called up , I assume its gonna happen earlier than later the second Barron or Ylonen or anybody starts stinking up the joint. Barron and Ylonen deserve a spot based on the end of last years play and i'm fine with it until they prove that they shouldn't be in the lineup

Well, that's the gambit for sure

Be slightly competitive and see where we are in the retool, see what kind of noise we can make
Or, we can't overcome the bad G , and draft high again (at least this time no more fear of picking D lol)

We could definitely be in way worse shape

 

[the valiant effort]

Caufield 2 goals
Suzuki 4 assists

Habs win 5-2

I'm on the tank train so I don't mind but people are going to be mad if Monty/Allen don't play decently

 

[Habs10Habs]

I’m not up on thangs but does Toronto have any bright lights on D? On the horizon even?

They have a kid named Topi Niemela. He's probably a couple of years away from playing though.

Honestly it would be draining on the players. If the main reason we'd lose would be goaltending.

 

[Rapala]

Once I get over the fact that I can't stand the Leafs. I have to say that the changes they've made this off season. Make them a stronger team than last season.

I'm with you but this is our first "Must Win". Toronto Ottawa and Boston beat them each and every time and nothing else matters.
Except maybe beating those Florida f***ers.

Oh Amen lol Even during our "tanking". I still wanted to beat all 4 of those teams.

 

[red devil]

Allen is starting

 

[Hannibal]

So they didn’t make Xhekaj practice with the team because paper work?

Thats stupid.

 

[The Real Timo]

Allen is starting

So leaf’s wills score on their first SOG then. Have still win tomorrow.

 

[EveryDay]

Allen is starting

Wise decision, Montembeault was the worst of the 3 goalies during training camp.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

So they didn’t make Xhekaj practice with the team because paper work?

Thats stupid.

If he practices with the NHL team, he's with the NHL team and can't fix their cap situation, so he's gotta stay away

I was going to say, MSL likes his vets. But maybe 8t was Monty's camp.

Yup, good job Hughes. Pretty stupid

Why not send Barron down, he ain’t gonna play tomorrow and give the reps in practice to Xhekaj?

 

[Habs10Habs]

So they didn’t make Xhekaj practice with the team because paper work?

Thats stupid.

Just have him hit a punching bag. Keep him sharp, just in case that idiot Reaves decides to cause shit.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I usually watch Habs vs Leafs games by myself. Until my kid got interested about 5 or 6 years ago. We have a rule though, no talking during the game. Commercials are when we're allowed to talk. Sadly I'm the one that breaks it. Which is followed by her saying "Dad STFU, I'm trying to watch the game".

Blame MB for giving 10 million in cap space to Armia and Gallagher

Next time he tells you to STFU make him watch Caufield under Dom Ducharme.

Kids these days no rispek

She's basically a good kid. Since no one else is around. She's allowed to curse during the game....only. Since she can speak 3 languages (English, French and Russian). It's actually quite funny.

Timmins looked really good this preseason.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Can't wait to get the season finally going here tomorrow night!!!

In the meantime, Bedard vs Sid tonight is not a bad way for the NHL to kick things off

My initial reaction "Hmmm, that line up actually looks pretty good"

My secondary reaction "That will make them failing once again even sweeter"
