GDT: Preseason Toronto vs Montreal September 24, 2017, 7:30 PM, TSN4, Scotiabank Arena

[CanadasTeam]

Can't wait to see Domi play in a Habs jersey ... oh wait.

 

[SprDaVE]

I hope these 730 starts arent the new norm.

It's normally 7:30pm starts during the week during the season. It's been like that for a long time. You'll have the odd 7:00pm start time during the week. Saturdays are always 7:00pm though.

I am most eager to see the Sandin-Liljegren pairing again.

 

[Moncherry]

That sucks, I want to bury the Habs everytime we play them this year, preseason or not. Opening night vs. them should be a LOLfest.

You're implying that we couldn't bury the Habs with an AHL line-up.

 

[ICECOLDBEER]

Random idea but would it make sense to put someone like Rosen on the power play? Someone with a big shot. I know preseason but he got a goal last night. Rielly and Gardiner don’t get me wrong are great puck movers/carriers but do you really need that when you have guys like Marner, Nylander, Matthews who can get the puck into the zone. Rielly had 6 goals last year and Gardiner 5 not sure how many were power play. Do they really offer that much more than someone like Rosen once they are in the zone and setup? My thinking is that other teams can cheat off those two because theyre not worried about a big shot. Did they have a lot of primary power play assists or was it more like they just gave it to Marner to work his magic? Not saying I’m right just throwing an idea out there.

I recall far more 700 starts during the week

I think they still will.

And I could watch Oz all the time too

Would think Montreal would play a AHL type lineup to match. Teams usually have a dialog especially after the first home games are out of the way

 

[LeafChief]

What kind of shit lineup can we expecting from that idiot Bergevin tomorrow?

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Another easy win. Cant wait to face a good opponent.

We are just working out the kinks and gelling together. All positive things. But ya, a tougher opponent will be great as well.

Not going to face anyone good till game 3 or 4 of the regular season.

Why can't we just have the Marlies play as a second Toronto team this season.... to round out the teams to 32 and provide extra revenue? They could legitimately be better than at least 12 teams and have a shot at the playoffs.

I'll give you twenty v bucks to post this as a thread on the main board...... Please.

You’re seriously underestimating how good even the worst NHL team is.

There’s absolutely no way the Marlies would be better than 12 teams and be a playoff threat. They’d be in the basement.

Obviously we know that will never happen. However do you think there is an argument to be made that the Marlies would be better than the 54 point Buffalo Sabres team from 2015 and the 48 point Colorado Avalanche team from 2017?

Honestly, I really don’t think there’s much of an argument to say the Marlies would be better than either of those teams.

You’re right, we will never know, but you’d largely be throwing a team from a feeder league into the NHL which is composed mostly of players who will never be good enough to be full time NHLers.

Yes we’ve seen some dreadful bottom feeders such as your examples, but they are still NHL teams with NHL players on them. The Marlies would get slaughtered all season long.

Roster released. Pretty much the AHL
squad with the exception of Johnsson-Lindholm-Kapanen, as well as Sparks-McBackup

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I like Subban but I'd rather see Lilly play. oh well. this roster is still fairly interesting with guys like Bracco and Engvall

 

[DopeyFish]

Also Subban playing
