Pre-Game Talk: Tuesday, Oct. 14 — Colorado at Toronto, 7:30pm TSN4

[ThrillinPhil]

Haha Slumpbusters will do it.

This team is cursed.

 

[Swervin81]

If we were in Montreal the fans would not be so kind after all these years.

The Habs went on a tear of suck in the late 90's, missing the playoffs in 4 of 5 (or 3 of 4) years and the fans didn't do ****, still sold out every game. This argument has no basis whatsoever.

 

[TheThrill81*]

I'd like to see the same line up tomorrow night minus Phaneuf or Robidas and Gardiner draws in.

So you'd like to see the Leafs lose.

 

[GoodNewfieBoy]

Watching them play today, Duchene the one to watch out for. Absolutely dominating.

 

[Daisy Jane]

well -at least Colorado scored.

I am predicting a shootout tomorrow (as in like 6-7 __________)

the habs average attendance dropped nearly 1K during that time and it took until 2005-6 to recover up to sellouts.

“It’s very disrespectful. The guy’s going up the stands giving out high-fives like he won an Oscar or something. I don’t know what his deal was. I'm sure once we string together a few wins in a row he'll be right back in the front of the line trying to purchase another jersey. We don't need fans like that.â€

-Nazem Kadri, on the fan who tossed his jersey Saturday at the ACC.


Naz should just focus on his game. Forget about jerseys being thrown and crap written by the media.

The reporter asked him directly, because he was on the ice when it happened. He didn't go out of his way to talk to the media about it. It is what it is.

 

[ThrillinPhil]

Hey at least we wont be slumpbusters tomorrow... unless the Avs have a rookie that havent scored a goal yet.... always gotta get the first one in the ACC, it seems like it always happens.

 

[WhatASaveDave]

I'd run:

Lupul - Kadri - Winnik
Jvr - Bozak - Kessel
Komarov - Santorelli - Clarkson
Ashton - Holland - Frattin

Phaneuf - Robidas
Percy - Polak
Gardiner - Franson

Reimer
Bernier

Extras: Rielly, Panik , Kozun

 

[LeafsMonster]

If bernier's knee isn't bothering him, I think he plays simply because he is our starter (atleast right now). He might need a few games to get on a roll and get back to how he played last season.

I hope reimer is getting his mojo back, but for one game I'm not sure you can play him over bernier.

Dennis Everberg, who also happened to be the guy who had a goal disallowed today

He was asked a question and responded to it. You're overanalyzing.

 

[James Duthie]

Hopefully Reimer starts, Berny has been terrible.

 

[Avs44]

Damn we have to play Gretzky 2.0..... Please Ryan O'Reilly, take it easy on us. Don't make me regret not accepting all the HF proposals of Kessel + JVR + Rielly + Kadri for you.

Don't worry, O'Reilly looks more like Clarkson than anyone else right about now...



Which means you really should have accepted that bargain deal

 

[arizona beamer*]

Start Reimer and put Gardiner back in the lineup. Whatever problems the Leafs have, Gardiner isn't one of them. He needs his confidence and is still a blossoming defenceman. What a waste of millions of dollars and his potential if he is scratched again.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

just a gut feeling, but i think randy goes back to bernier. probably wants to see if he'll bounce back. if he loses against the avs, then i see carlyle riding reimer for a while.

 

[ConnorTO]

Colorado plays in Boston tonight and they fly to Toronto directly after the game..They'll be a tired bunch against the leafs.

did the Rangers use that logic too ?

 

[PuckMagi]

just a gut feeling, but i think randy goes back to bernier. probably wants to see if he'll bounce back. if he loses against the avs, then i see carlyle riding reimer for a while.

we got back to backs against the wings on friday and saturday.... so assuming both goalies are healthy, they'll split those games...

so whoever starts on tuesday, the other guy is at least going to get another chance against the wings.
