Pre-Game Talk: Montreal @ Toronto 7pm ET (TVA Sports/SN)

[1909]

MSL is distributing candies to some vet players to start the season - Gally, Pearson and Allen - but he won't be very patient with them. It's a "show me your stuff or else" .

Benefit of the doubt for sure

 

[Tyson]

Has Xhekaj been recalled yet?

 

[GHJimmy]

The excitement is on! tomorrow can't come any slower geez.

Good to see some names on this board once again

 

[Adam Michaels]

Buffalo and Detroit are the other teams with 3 goalies

Colorado also as they claimed a goalie from the Yotes yesterday.

It will be curious if Tampa claims Rittich off waivers tomorrow.

 

[OldCraig71]

The Leafs will either blow us out or choke and lose to us in the third period or OT. You never really know what to expect from those guys.

Has Xhekaj been recalled yet?

Geoff Molson has a full-sized poster of Arber above his desk.

 

[Beer and Chips]

The future core are all in the top six, isn't that what most wanted? Monahan is holding down the bottom six, he is earning his money.

 

[Beer and Chips]

Which is why this is the Pre-game thread. Try to keep up.

Is including the date too much trouble for you?

 

[morhilane]

Has Xhekaj been recalled yet?

No, short explanation there is a 24 hours limit before recalls/assigning to Laval because of LTIR.

 

[Habs10Habs]

Love your avy, bro

Im kinda envious

Thanks, I let my kid pick it out for me.

If you're a real Habs fan. The date should be engraved in your soul.

True

The wetting will be hard to take.
Hope reves dies not hurt one of our good guys ..
Big crowd, he and Bertuzzi will want to show the figland there attitude

 

[Redux91]

Ideally it'd be better to see Slaf with Suzuki-Cole
And Andy back with Newhook who had chemistry and then the bonus of having Dach centering them
But I get not having Slaf top line already, honestly it's mind blowing he is top 6 at all really lol, this would never happen under the Foxhole reign.

Also, I don't think that 3rd line will look that bad for some reason it's weird lol

 

[Adam Michaels]

Bedard loses his first career face-off and then barely touced the puck in his first shift.

BUST!!!!

Thank the hockey gods we got the 1st overall in 2022 and not 2023.

 

[JianYang]

Last year, the season opener was also against the leafs, and it was pretty exciting one. I think monahan tied it late, and Anderson scored the winner just before the regulation siren.

I come into this season with little expectations, and not a whole lot of anticipation, however, there always seems to be a special feeling about opening night.

 

[Milhouse40]

It's finally less than 24 hours away

That crappy lineup definitely killed the season opening excitement for me. Hopefully MSL comes back to his senses soon.

Wanna bet? But to be fair... no matter who they dress up it's a crappy lineup. No greats like Mike HOffman or Chris Wideman or Yoel = crappy lineup.

 

[Rapala]

Hmmmm.

The 3 goalies situation can't last all season. We all know that.
I think there's really only 4-5 options for HuGo

I didn't expected Allen to start tomorrow with Montembeault playing the last full game in preseason.......even if Monty didn't looked good, Allen looked just as bad.

Sam was horrible. Fighting the puck all preseason zero rebound control and a couple of shortside stinkers.
One on either side. I can't say I'm surprised.

He probably followed Savards diet over summer. Give him a couple of months and he'll be quick and nimble again. Sam Montawall will be back. Remember, I predicted Vezina season for him.

I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[Tyson]

MSL isn't stupid...he plays the vet against Toronto and Sammy plays game 2. Smart.
Sammy sucked all pre season.

 

[The Real Timo]

Alright. f***ing SN NOW has my money! Lessgo!!!!

Go Habs!!! f*** the Leafs!

My only change would be RHP on the 3rd line.

 

[The Real Timo]

I mean they all gonna get chance to play. Gallagher will last what... 3 games before he gets injured? While Habs may not have same number of injuries as last season, they still will have plenty. Everyone will get their turn. But you just GOTTA use Gallagher on a point on PP while you can.
