GDT: Game #47 Jan 21st Toronto at Montreal.

I’m going to be out and not see the game, but we either get the expected win or it will be depressing. Here’s hoping the boys light the lamp.

 

[cyris]

I agree, however I think the Leafs may want to not let him light up before re-signing him. He’s started off super strong and if this continues we may not be able to afford him. I assume he’s the Holl replacement for next year. Once an extension is in place I imagine he’s a main stay regular

He is an RFA with a long injury history its not like teams would be lining up to give up assets to overpay him with an offer sheet.
Timmins will have next to no leverage in negotiations, so no they aren’t and won’t restrict his roll to try to keep his salary down

Expecting a Simmonds and Xhekaj tilt tonight

GLG

Rest in peace Simmonds……that Jack eye dude is a maniac

 

[Confucius]

Hoping for an OT win, we keep rolling, Habs get a much needed antitank point.

 

[stickty111]

Wasn't Timmins supposed to play?

It looks like a typo by Alter. His updated lineup in his tracker has Timmins playing

 

[ACC1224]

Even the insiders are questioning about this.

Why would the player go along with it?

 

[Leafblooded]

Why can't they have a few more leaf highlights in the montage? Like honestly CBC, were the only ones watching this "national" broadcast

 

[saffronleaf]

less ron maclean please

 

[Racer88]

Watch Arber Xhekaj tonight, he is exactly what the Leafs need. A tough dman.

Yup. But you know that’s never happening

 

[saffronleaf]

hoping for a few goals from matthews and nylander

 

[Racer88]

Crap I forgot to mute Ron McLean and now my ears are bleeding

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Would love to smoke these guys but the Habs play us very tough and the Leafs always seem to play their worst since the ‘21 series. Would be nice to win by 3+ goals.

 

[saffronleaf]

when will the puck drop after montreal ceremonies who knows. 8? 9?

 

[Racer88]

Why would the player go along with it?

Maybe he doesn’t know. Maybe the Doctors have the “fix” in and he is believing what they are telling him.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I mean there is ZERO excuse to not light up this defense. Good grief

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Expecting at least one Josh Anderson goal. If he played against the rest of the league like he does the Leafs he might be worth half his contract.

 

[supermann_98]

Let's destroy this crap Hab team

 

[TMLeafer]

I hope there will be a hockey day in Canada torch passing ceremony?

 

[therealkoho]

why on earth is Benn drawing in over Timmins???? is Timmins one of the guys with his head glued to a toilet?

edit: oops, I guess Timmins is in over Benn. Benn is outright brutal, and will only get worse with age. Timmins can improve with some actual game time, and is already heads and heels better than Benn. Even shows on the chart that was posted earlier.
Timmins passing alone is more valuable than anything that pylon Benn does.

Same reason Simmonds is in

XherZZaQ Heerbchi

or however you spell his name

 

[HolyCrap]

Rest in peace Simmonds……that Jack eye dude is a maniac

Really eh! I haven’t been paying attention to Montreal or most of their new players. Could be an interesting game.

 

[ACC1224]

I hope there will be a hockey day in Canada torch passing ceremony?

Habs never miss an opportunity to drag out the torch.

 

[supermann_98]

Not a tank move. Caulfield is having a career season on a contract year. You have to believe he wants to play to push for a contract above $9M

No GM is giving Caufield $9M, other than maybe Dubas' but he's our gm

 

[therealkoho]

Profundo!

 

[robertmac43]

Hoping we don't play down to these guys. Let's destroy them on their home ice.
