DON Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 (poached from Stubbs tweet) 737th match-up between these two franchises. Schlemko is hopefully replacing Benn in this one...but I assume it will be Davidson who gets scratched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toronthab Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Does one of their Dmen have the same number of goals as our team? Inquiring minds.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DON Posted October 14, 2017 Author Share Posted October 14, 2017 Galchenyuk and Plekanec both sick, not sure if one or both are in? (Galchenyuk practicing today, Plekanec not). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Two ways of looking at this. One is that the Leafs' porous D is a great chance for our offence to break the dam and finally bag a few. The other is that the Leafs' blazing speed and formidable offence will feast on our slowfoot D and compound our miseries. At least with these flashy, talented Leafs, you're in for a non-boring contest - which is the opposite of what you'd say if the Habs were coming to your town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all your posts have you ever said anything positive about the team? Like once? Do you even like the team? or do you only show up here when they lose to be even more pessimistic about it? Just wondering... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfredoh2009 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Even if it's easier to get excited about the Rocket than the Canadiens right now, I still hope for a good showing tonight. Bring it to tied game all the way to the shoot out 3+ goalseach side and GO HABS GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to trading an exiting 20 goal scorer (Radu), they brought excitement to the games but they didn't make the Canadiens a cup contender on their own. The path they CH has taken is painful to watch right now, but I want to believe it is going to get better. GO HABS GO! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I like to imagine the team with Subban, Radulov, Lehkonen, Markov, Byron, Price, and Galchenyuk at centre. Maybe it doesn't win a Cup but it's sure fun to watch. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbhatt Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Sometimes games go very differently than you think they are going to, based on the stats/records of the two teams playing; I am praying that tonight's game will be one of those. Habs taking advantage of the weak Leafs blueline and average goaltending, coupled with a 'Jesus Price' performance, could get the job done.

Maybe it doesn't win a Cup but it's sure fun to watch. Well, the Radu of last season at least, and PK Subban in general, are not at all like Alexi Kovalev - by which I mean a guy who was enormous fun to watch but was not the type of guy you win Cups with. Those two guys were/are warriors who came to play every night, and in the clutch, in addition to being hugely entertaining players. You needn't be a soulless robot to win Stanley Cups. This is a delusion that entered NHL thinking only very recently, and it's just that, a delusion. Unfortunately it's a delusion that our management group seems to have swallowed whole-hog. But now back to your regularly-scheduled Leafs bashing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
