I must have missed the memo when this was christened Andreas Johnsson night. Every time he touches the puck, the announcers are fawning over him. Even on Toronto's second goal, as soon as they scored, they panned over to Johnsson's reaction (from the bench). He's having a decent game but let's not get stupid here...

I don't want to risk an offensive explosion, but one goal would be nice...

Montoya starts today's game against Tampa. Need 30 minutes of solid play for a 4th. Then another 30 minutes of solid play to help The Tank. But first, 30 minutes for a 4th.

It's the matchup that CBC was surely hoping for when this game was originally scheduled - Curtis McElhinney vs Charlie Lindgren. No Carey Price. No Frederik Andersen. No Auston Matthews. No Max Pacioretty or Shea Weber. No Leo Komarov or Nikita Zaitsev. What a captivating matchup this will be...and if you don't think so, the word matchup will be drilled into our heads all night from Jim Hughson and Craig Simpson as without so many star players, you can be assured that matchups will be the forced narrative as Claude Julien and Mike Babcock try to outmatch the line matching. Puck drop is around 7:15 and if it's the usual anthem singer in Toronto for this one, you'll want to keep it on mute until then.

75 of those lost man games are Ales Hemsky, so they should be disqualified.

I am new at this chat stuff but am enjoying the Hab wisdom found here over the past week. Hopefully I learn the protocol and do my homework to avoid the correcting retorts. Having given that disclaimer to cover my ass, I have read a couple of references to something like, "if he was on a team that can score". Isn't that the point, the HABS need to be THAT team that can score. I agree with all the content and analysis, but if a guy will excel on another team that scores, it won't help Les Gorieux(?) get better. I don't expect an answer to that except how can we get Molson to dump MB and Juju (BTW, great handle, Don). I am tired of avoiding the frothing Leaf fans after these embarrassments. Anyhow thanks for listening. Go Sens+Sabres Go.

Habs have been so bad on the road that they own the NHL's worst offence (2.17 goals per game) & defence (3.56 GA/game) away from home- enough to lead them to 1st on this list https://t.co/fYXPHccztl How many shit records is this team going to smash under Bergevin. Julien has done dick all since he arrived too. He should not be getting a free pass.

Living in TO, I have learned to mute the CBC/SN "homers". They were like this when Toronto sucked, so its exponentially worse now.

Lernout made one hit but it was in the corner. Big Mike has been invisible except for sitting in the box. Hudon looks out of tonight as well. Just a good tank night.

Its Toronto media enough said.... They're just as bad as the Boston guys.

I wish Lernout would make this his niche. He already looks like an insane viking, and if he acted like one in front of the net I think he'd have a job in the NHL for ~15 years.

If i wanted to help.my team tank... id play de la Rose and Mccarron 20 minutes a night

Craig Ludwig

delaRose 6:51, most of the forwards.

I am enjoying 'Sassy dlbalr.'

Gotta cheer for something ?
