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

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.
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.

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.

Tavares is out, and the Habs are the hottest team in the league—this is ours to win!
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.
Well his one win was a 47 save shutout in game one when we were arguably the worst team in the league.
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.

I’m still more comfortable with Dobes. Give montanbo the ragsWell his one win was a 47 save shutout in game one when we were arguably the worst team in the league.
On the other hand you want to reward your 13th forward who is Fine with playing 5 minutes a night when there is an injury. I think as long as they win they won t change things.
The issue is that if you Don t play a Player he does not have the same pace as the rest of your team which is what happens with Pezzetta Right now. Which is Why personnally I would try to call up someone else if Pezzetta can t elevate his game over the weekend.

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 predickeda 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

Not even close to being true.
Since Pezzetta has been back in the lineup, Suzuki is 25th in the league among forwards in ice time, and he's getting even less ice time than he had last season. Caufield is 58th. The 3rd forward with the highest ice time on the habs is Slafkovsky, which has him 152nd in the league in average ice time.
How is that overusing the forwards?
