Pre-Game Talk: Game 45: Saturday Jan 18th: Figs @ Habs, 7 PM | CBC, Sportsnet, TVAS

[LaP]

They are not recalling anyone from the Rocket since they play in Utica tonight. The Rocket and Utica play again tomorrow but in Laval, so maybe a recall will happen tomorrow when the team is in town.

Realistically I don't think we can be 3 weeks with the 12th forward spending more time in the penalty box than on the ice. It will overwork other guys for no reason.

 

[sampollock]

I hope it’s a bloodbath as Leafs have been in a bad stretch and apparently we are gods. Sportsnet will make excuses then cry themselves to sleep.

SN will wet their pants. Panel will wet over nostrils.
SN will brag up the fig coach and revass will run around like the clown he is

 

[Rapala]

Same approach stay in the moment this is our house and our game.
The Leafs won't recognize this team if we stick to our game.

I'd call up Beck something about those blue jerseys set him off against the Marlies.

so bang on

Bell Centre...the house that Cary Price built
let do this

Xhekaj could have a busy weekend with Reaves and Rempe as visitors.

But he's clearly the lucky charm at this point.



and MSL is already the joker when he sees Pezz.

MSL has still the option to dress 7 D and 11 forwards if he wants. But Pezz is fine on the bottom six for the few weeks Heineman is out.

Never forget

Oh hi guys and gals, it's me.....your friendly neighbourhood fan of the greatest team in the history of the regular season -- The Toronto Maple Leafs!!!!!!

I come here in peace....hoping to wish you guys luck in all of your future endeavours including a well played match vs. my boys on Saturday night! I see that you currently have a well endowed player occupying your #1 centre position. Wowzers! He is quite the stud muffin! I am impressed!

Have you met our #1 centre before. I know you know who he is. Good luck covering him. For some reason he has an endless motor, fueled by unlimited oxygen intake!

I predicked a very strong effort from our captain this coming Saturday.

Ive been doing some research on your mighty little scoring machine. I have to admit.....quite impressive the way he can snipe those little snap shots past the goalie. But have you met our goalie? We like to refer to our guy as the brick WOLL. so good luck getting one past him!

Even if Cole does score....we have plenty of other weapons who can get those goals back!!!!!

So bring your little skitter bug Lane Hutson...bring your beast Slafkovsky.....bring Dach.....bring Laine....bring Dobes or Monty.....we are ready for ya!

I predict a 5-4 win for the Habs! No wait that's @waitin425 talking!

10-0 Leafs!

Yours most lovingly,
Jimmy Fig Boy




GHG!!!!!!!!

Oh man, there's laffs at every turn, thanks for that waitin!

The game you really want them to win, but not that I said that they'll lose, but now that I said that they'll win, but now that I said that they'll lose, but now that I said that they'll win, but now that I said that they'll lose, but now that I said that they'll win, but now that I said that they'll lose, but now that I said that...

I reason the same way TinkleD

 

[Habssince89]

Perfect time to replace pezz and inject some freshness into the lineup to keep our hot stretch going. Monty NEEDS to be bring the same energy he did opening night. And you just know Laine is going to be motivated going up against Matthews. Leafs are not to be underestimated but I think we can hang with them any night of the week

 

[Calendal]

Soccer? No wonder we can read so many bad takes here with people playing "soccer" instead of watching real sports

3 goals from Slaf in that game would be music to my ears.

While I understand the comment, soccer is about as real as sports get.

 

[HabSgt]

Good to see HFBoards is looking more like itself now.

Leafs always put in the extra effort against us, gotta weather their offence at first then take over the game.

If we win I move here permanently if we lose I return immediately to la belle province.

You need to incentivize the players in Laval too. After all, it’s a farm system, the goal is to make the jump to the NHL. If you never offer that opportunity, it kind of sucks.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Xhekaj could have a busy weekend with Reaves and Rempe as visitors.

Reaves is afraid of him and won’t go
Xhekaj might literally kill Rempe if they fought

 

[the]

Hope Laine f***s them up.

He likes to score against them.

Maybe I'm going off track a bit, but THE sports play of all time was performed by Soccer legend Maradona 1986, the commentator "Morales" was noted for his play by play.

 

[Forum93]

Monty's 1 W, 4 L past 5 against the Leafs. I'd like to see MSL change it up and put in Dobes.

 

[Goalfield13]

Hutson with a 5-point night tomorrow. You heard it here first.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

They're not calling anyone up and they'll see if they call anyone up after the game.

They're not calling anyone up. No player is going to play Friday night for Laval then Saturday & Sunday games for Montreal. 3 games in 3 nights doesn't happen at NHL level, which means Pezz is playing tomorrow.

If they do call someone up, that player won't play til Sunday.

Maradona was a football legend not a soccer legend

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

If they play Pezzetta, it will probably be because they scratched him for like 30 straight games, and he was good sport about it. That, and because they kept winning by basically playing 11 F.

 

[HuGo Sham]

remember girls,
HOUSE MONEY

just punch the leafs in the mouth. Habs need to clean up the giveaways and get stronger when teams forecheck, but we're gettting bailed by good tending.

If they play Pezzetta, it will probably be because they scratched him for like 30 straight games, and he was good sport about it. That, and because they kept winning by basically playing 11 F.

they want to him to get speed bagged by Reaves. Tire that arrogant f***er out, so he's quiet the rest of the game...

assuming he even plays

And the panel

 

[the valiant effort]

Maffews has been heating up, so hopefully the Habs don’t pull a Devils and throw tape to tape passes at him half the night

MSL should absolutely be bold and start Dobes
