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

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

I think they actually became friends in the summer and that's why they didn't fight.

 

[The Great Weal]

Seems obvious that Monty/Dobes will be sharing for now and I don't see how you aren't confident in both goalies unless you're still unreasonably mad at Monty for winning games in lost seasons as a waiver pickup. He's more than good enough to be a tandem with Dobes until Fowler comes.

I'm going to become the joker if Pezz dresses against the Leafs.

We're going to wonder why we ran out of gas by the time the season ends when it's blatantly obvious. Just because it's not biting us in the ass right now doesn't mean it won't hurt us down the line. Don't like how we aren't maximizing our chances to get every single point, it's as if we're just happy to be in this position and anything extra is just a bonus. Not the kind of culture I'd want in a team.

 

[Canadienna]

It's a big test, not because the Leafs are any better than Dallas/Colorado/Florida/Vegas but because its a "big game" that they'll want on a personal level.

They've shown remarkable poise and self control of late and they'll need that again in spades tomorrow.

3 years.....3 freaking very long years.
This will be the first 4 points game in 3 years.

I am pumped for this game and the other next week: Leafs, Rangers, Tampa at home and Detroit on the road...all 4 points game.
