Pre-Game Talk: SENS vs Leafs in T.O., Saturday night 7:00 pm

[Back in Black]

Wish I was in TO to watch the Leaves lose!

 

[Icelevel]

This will be a pretty good test for our d.

Why couldn’t boro and ceci get injured instead of tkachuk pageau and duchene!?????

 

[Boud]

Tkachuk out? McCormick out? Duchene possibly out? Carrey in?

Just burn it all downnnn.

Duchene is playing.

 

[Blotto71]

Had the opportunity to go to this one but passed - will tune in tonight though. I have Marner and Stone on my fantasy team so I'm good with a 7-6 final, multi-point game for both

 

[Burrowsaurus]

But why?

We’re going young. Can’t you tell

Didn’t you hear dorion. Ceci is always injured. But he just plays through it

 

[czechcanadian]

Not having Tkachuk for tonight is a real kick in the balls...

 

[OttawaSenators11]

This one is going to be ugly i think

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Can’t help but laugh that the very first opportunity Boucher got he was like “vet please”. Like, did the Chicago game scare him?

 

[BondraTime]

So which paring draws the short straw and gets to play against Tavares/Marner?

And then who loses the next draw and gets to play against Matthews?

Carey will replace McCormick on the 4th line. IMO its important for Chlapik to have some stability to start off with. No big deal for now. When Tkachuk comes back in Carey will be 13th forward .. I don't think its a big deal for now.

We don't have one pairing to stand up to any of their top 3 lines at this point but they have to play through it. Our forwards are really going to have to go balls out in all 3 zones to put pressure and support the puck and help the D be able to make a short quick outlet to start a breakout.

 

[Liver King]

please tell me Tkachuk is in tonight

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

I cringe seeing Boro in that lineup. Not sure if Garrioch got he order right.

I also would have preferred to keep Boedker and Formenton together , along with Stone and White... but Boucher as we know over thinks things.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

please tell me Tkachuk is in tonight

He is not.

 

[Studzle]

please tell me Tkachuk is in tonight

Sorry but that’s a negative on that one, as many others have stated.

I like the D pairings like this. At least it's something worth trying. Boro and Wideman can play well together as a 3rd pairing.

I agree I would've kept White and Stone together with Smith they were our best line the other night. Same for Formenton and Boedker.

Let the blender begin because ... Because we wouldn't want our guys to find chemistry right?

I'm happy to see White promoted though.

I prefer the D pairings vs G1 as well.

Nice to see but I also think White would develop more with Stone and Smith. He would have the puck some, and those guys are more pass first.. We will have to wait and see but , imo with Duchene he will drive lanes try to create space, create loose pucks, defer to Duchene as much as possible, and try to guess/read what Duchene is going to do with it, which imo is tough to predict. I personally don't like him there as much.

It’s a good attempt at balance throughout.

I'm certainly not excited about this game but Montreal is worse than we are and they gave the Leafs plenty of trouble.

As long we can keep pressuring their mediocre D (which is better than ours yes) we have a fighti.ng chance.

I'll certainly tune in but haven't committed to watching the full game hehe. Price also made a few unreal saves in that game...

 

[hawthy]

Worked for the Collin White 2pt prediction, so here goes another....

....Chabot multi-point night. Gonna need Andy to make 40+ saves tonight to hang around I think.

 

[Mathieu]

Already shuffling all the lines after one game lol. I know Boucher likes to change his line midway through the game but still.

 

[SensFactor]

Expecting a tight contested win! 4-3sens
