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

[McGees]

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.

 

[LeGarsDuCable]

Tavares is out, and the Habs are the hottest team in the league—this is ours to win!

 

[Habssince89]

We obviously need the whole team pulling in the same direction to win tomorrow, but we especially need Monty, Slaf, and Dach to have big games. If those guys are on, and Suzuki/CC/Laine/Hutson are chugging along as expected, we will win.

 

[Rapala]

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

Well his one win was a 47 save shutout in game one when we were arguably the worst team in the league.

 

[Rapala]

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.

The players double shifting aren't getting crazy minutes except maybe Suzuki but he's used to it.
Apparently the forwards are able to maintain a better flow than the Dmen when they use 7.
I think we need to keep our Dmen as stable as possible.

 

[The Real Timo]

SN is going to be nauseating with the whole coast to coast to coast shit tomorrow aren’t they?

Stories McLean will tell us. Sigh. Just show the game and bring back Kenzie!

 

[The Real Timo]

Well his one win was a 47 save shutout in game one when we were arguably the worst team in the league.

I’m still more comfortable with Dobes. Give montanbo the rags
