DON Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 32-16 Leafs "shouldnt" have much trouble with the 10-40 Habs; but... Caufield 5pts in last 5gms. Poehling is overdue to bang at least one into the net, just 1g in last 26gms, 12:40/gm. Hopefully St Louis can help get him on track also. Canadiens projected lineup Cole Caufield -- Nick Suzuki -- Josh Anderson Mike Hoffman -- Laurent Dauphin -- Brendan Gallagher Rem Pitlick -- Jake Evans -- Paul Byron Michael Pezzetta -- Ryan Poehling -- Artturi Lehkonen Brett Kulak -- Jeff Petry Ben Chiarot -- Alexander Romanov Kale Clague -- Chris Wideman Sam Montembeault Andrew Hammond Scratched: Cedric Paquette Injured: Joel Armia (undisclosed), Jake Allen (lower body), Christian Dvorak (upper body), Mathieu Perreault (lower body), David Savard (ankle), Jonathan Drouin (wrist), Joel Edmundson (back), Carey Price (knee) COVID-19 protocol: Corey Schueneman Status report Mrazek will start the first of back-to-back games for the Maple Leafs, who play at the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. … Lyubushkin is expected to join the Maple Leafs in Columbus on Tuesday.

DON Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 Can always hope; Caufield tears it up in 2nd half, Romanov sees some PP time & shines, Poehling starts chipping in with the odd goal, Suzuki & Anderson develop great chemistry & pad their offensive #s some, Price&Allen come back and play great (but too late to impact standings), etc...

DON Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 10,000 fans for this one, hope Caufield or Suzuki gets a standing ovation for 'something'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Hmm, is Montembeault still injured? This might make some people grimace, but they should be playing the Hamburgalur until he loses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Minister Koivu Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It’s fun to watch these guys and Caufield is a different player and it’s amazing. We are going to win 15 in a row aren’t we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlbalr Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Interesting to see Pitlick on the penalty kill again. I'm not sold on his defensive play but that's a good test to see if he's a viable fit in the bottom six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I think its clear now. Petry was leading the players rebellion on Ducharme. I don't think Caufield was part of it though. He just looks like a player with confidence. Im also fine with Montembault as the #2 next season if we trade Allen. He is an NHL goalie.

Habs Fan in Edmonton Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Leafs are probably just happy they won't have to face the Habs in the 1st round of the playoffs. They will get a lesser opponent like Florida or Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in any case, kudos to Bergevin for picking up Montembeault. And Pitlick. And Clague. They are only complementary pieces, but those are probably where Bergevin was at his best.

xXx..CK..xXx Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Not one to toot my own horn but I told you guys about Caufield. It felt like I was battling an army on here when I talked about his positive future only two weeks ago. While the recent sample size is small, I still feel confident bringing it up because I already know he’ll be something nice, and hopefully mostly for our organization.
