Pre-Game Talk: T'ranna Con- Trah Mon Ree All

[Habs]

I don't like playing the same team 3 times in preseason. We always seem to play the Leafs & Sens multiple times.

My idea is each team plays 1 game against each team in their division for 7 games total.

probably a travel expense thing

 

[EveryDay]

I hope Barron Xhekaj and Mailloux are on the PP tonight.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

The first 2 lines are potential 3rd and 4th lines for us this season

 

[Habs Icing]

I think Leafs Nation wins the Stanley Cup this year.

But, but, but aren't the playoff finals only next year in 2024? We're in 2023.

 

[FrankMTL]

Perhaps. But we are at 31 years and running, so we may not be in a position to make fun of anyone.

True....at least we got a taste of the Stanley Cup finals in 2021 though...I know it's really nothing to brag about, but whatever. Leafs haven't even seen a final since 1967.

Why do I get so pissed off every time I see Armia in our line up. He's this season's Hoffman for me.

 

[Tuggy]

Not the strongest lineup...but the defense will be interesting to watch.

 

[HespelerGreenFlash]

I remember making fun of the Rangers for going 54 years without winning a cup. Leafs are starting year 57.

Our Habs are at 30 years right now. Who knows when they might win. If not with this crop during this rebuild...we could be staring 40+ Oh my my

Primeau got another chance to make a better impression

 

[Redux91]

I'm surprised not giving Newhook and Reinbacher another game tonight
But they're probably waiting until tomorrow to unleash the caufield-suzuki-newhook project
Hopefully Reinbacher gets 1-2 more games before they send him back

 

[EveryDay]

Predicting another point for Joshua tonight, he's on a roll.

Tomorrow MTL and Toronto will be dressing a strong lineup IMO.

Hopefully Matheson(glass man) is back on the ice!

 

[morhilane]

So Monahan and Newhook were swapped for the back-to-back.

Looks like the Habs wants Primeau to show what he have one last time. And he will have to be good, because that defense will have lots of holes. Harris is like the only one who knows how to play defense there...

Would like to see Primeau and Dobes get a full pre-season game.

Then have Monty and Allen play a full game.

I doubt that is happening, unless Primeau stays in net all game and Dobes gets the Saturday one.

that's an awful lineup lol

Toronto doesn't look any better outside having their starter goalie. Which means Saturday game should have most top 6 players for both teams.

 

[BJCOLLINS]

Never mind

Primeau should get the full game tonight.. who gives a f*** about Mann.

Then give Dobes tomorrow. That leaves 2 games left and Allen plus Monty can each have 1.

Nothing else makes sense unless they split two more and give allen/monty a full game.

 

[Tyson]

Here is hoping that Cayden Primeau plays a great game.

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Would like to see Armia switched with Roy

Would like to see Armia switched for Future Considerations

 

[BergevinBurner]

Looks like both teams are saving most of the big names for Saturday night.

 

[Eco]

And on that note...

 

[Tyson]

Mailloux does some cool interviews. Likeable kid

 

[JoelWarlord]

Ylonen Beck Roy is fun, don't think I'll be watching this one but I hope that line has a good game.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Armia & Gallagher will show the haters they still have that dawg in them.

Spoiler: The Dog

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Just saw that the Habs-Leafs games on Sportsnet+ are blacked out in my location (Ontario) today and tomorrow. Does anyone know if there will be free streaming available elsewhere, like with CBC? Or if this is something I can get around with a VPN?

I wonder if that means TSN is able to show the games in Ontario?

Armia & Gallagher will show the haters they still have that dawg in them.

Spoiler: The Dog

even looks like Gallagher.

 

[le_sean]

I’ll be happy if that’s the actual lineup. It means I won’t be wasting a Friday night watching a preseason hockey game.

a THC gummy can make any hockey game entertaining

 

[Rapala]

It's ugly for sure. Monahan Anderson I get by why Armia? Then those next three lines are either AHL or 4th line material.

The NHLers are with the NHLers, the junior/AHLers are together at forwards. MSL have been running pre-season games like that since the first one and Armia is still an NHLer.
