Pre-Game Talk: Week of All Stars (@TOR, @MTL, @STL)

[dahrougem2]

Except Doughty, Karlsson and Tavares of course....

I really hope the avs can win the next 2. They should win against a leafs team missing 2 of their top 3 defenseman, and I don't want to see the streak end if Hammond is in net for his sake.

Don't forget Subban, too.

 

[Ararana]

Streak or no streak I'd ride Bernier these three games going into the all star break. The standings are too tight to try out your new AHL goalie. Hopefully Varly is good to go after the all star break and Hammond can go back down.

 

[The Mars Volchenkov]

Bednar has gotten all the matchups he wants at home, so we’ll see how they handle that on the road when the other team dictates it.

 

[henchman21]

Don't forget Subban, too.

And Stamkos.

 

[McMetal]

I'll just drop this here.

Of course, five Central teams on that list.

 

[lonelybadger]

And Stamkos.

My favorite part of the Stamkos sweepstakes was that (I think it was canadian tire) was going to pay him several million a year which was being pitched by the maple leafs. I will have to find a source on that but I remember hearing it talked about on the radio here in Toronto.

 

[Murzu]

I'm not that worried about match ups. MacK often plays against top pairing D or opponents top forward lines. He will keep this thing going.

 

[Avs71]

Avs will score more goals tonight, but Toronto will get the win because they will have more High danger Scoring Chances than the Avs.

Toninato - Kerfoot - Yak line

If I'm Babcock, there's my target.

Sometimes I think they use that as subterfuge. There has been plenty of times the two blender lines have looked nothing like those graphics.

God I hope so, that line needs Compher bad.

 

[CobraAcesS]

God I hope so, that line needs Compher bad.

There is a logic there though. Two skilled guys with a grinder. Lesser form of the way the top line is built.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Don't forget Subban, too.

Wasn’t it clear that Stamkos was going to TO for awhile as well?

Edit: Henchy beat me to it

Yeah that happened so that they could match the after tax salary from Tampa.

Why no Wilson? Is he injured (missed the last couple of games)

 

[McMetal]

19 points in 9 games for MacK. Those are video game numbers.

Flu they say.

Yeah i don't think Babcock is OK with playing Matthews 8 min. Let them dominate the 8 minutes, we do the other 52

Edit: Wilson out again is kind of strange.

Edit 2: Should stop replying to myself by learning that "reply" is not the same as "edit".

Mackinnon has video game talent.

If you believe Mike Chambers, he was a healthy scratch.

Of course, Chambers was wrong. Thankfully he actually corrected himself and apologized for it because Wilson had the flu.

 

[Foppberg]

Wilson has the flu, it's going around the team. Z has it a bit but he'll play tonight.

 

[McMetal]

Mackinnon has video game talent.

Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A.

Bernier starting 4 in 6 or is the Hamburglar starting in Montreal?
