Pre-Game Talk: GAME #52 | LEAFS @ HABS | MONDAY @7PM | SPORTSNET

[lottster14]

Prediction: Andersen will be healthy enough to get at least 2 games in out of the remaining 5, by that team we will have clinched 1st place anyways.

Andersen will be decent/pretty good in those games so we will feel good with Fred and Campbell going into the playoffs, but Campbell will start the playoffs.

Need Marner to get like 3-4 points so he can catch up to Drai

 

[PromisedLand]

Lilly paired with Muzzin. It's probably maintenance for Holl but if not, it would be interesting.

OMG

YES YES YES

Muzzin Lily

LOVE THIS!!!!

Drai has 5 games against Vancouver to pad his stats. That's his speciality, and it would be a shock if someone can catch him

 

[TheBeastCoast]

It is kind of cute. The Habs win 2 games and their fans are starting to feel it again based on the way they are talking. Smack em in the face with a dose of reality coming.

 

[wingman75]

Same for me.


Anyone successfully synch up the radio feed with Bowen to the TV yet? I know there's a delay in the radio streaming but just wonder if anyone successfully got around it somehow.

Actually, I have done that with my google home. I would do the pause/play tango until i got them lined up. Google home is way delayed. If its off even a bit though it gets annoying to watch. I may do that tonight. Thanks for the good reminder. Love hearing Joe call the games.

3 points would have him surpass Kadri as the 25th highest career points player as a leaf.
He needs 11 more to pass Bozak for 24th. Outside chance he hits it by year end.

 

[McSnypsky]

Freddy who?

Freddy Highmore the guy who Connor Mcdavid plays in the Good Doctor

 

[Joey Hoser]

Marner and/or Matthews are going to hold all the major franchise records well before the age of 30.

 

[Fogelhund]

Lilly paired with Muzzin. It's probably maintenance for Holl but if not, it would be interesting.

I really do hope that those are the D pairings for tonights game. I'd love to see those pairings excel together.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Andersen playing tonight? Since MTL is our likely 1st round opponent, makes sense to see what he can do against them. I'm guessing Campbell leaving early means he's the starter though right?

 

[kevsh]

If Freddie was even expected to be in the lineup for tonight's game there would have been a whole series of tweets and stories going back to yesterday about Dubas shuffling players around to get him off LTIR and into the roster.

When/if Freddie suits up for a game, we will all know it way ahead of time.

Campbell is starting. Freddy didn't even travel to Montreal.

 

[egd27]

Do you want Montreal or the Jets?

The funny thing is if the Habs take points from us and catch the Jets, there's a decent chance the Oilers catch us and we still end up with the Habs as the 2 vs 3 rather than the 1 vs 4

 

[Techcoockie]

no holl tonight ??? ohhhhhh yes, this will be a physical game without repercussion

 

[BoredBrandonPridham]

Campbell was only at the morning skate for 15 minutes today.. so I don't know what is going on, hence me asking.

Keefe said Jack is playing, but they're just managing his load the best they can.

That’s my interpretation as well. Also after the TDL it was widely reported on here by the capologist geeks that should Freddy return we’ll be over the cap since Foligno’s cap hit takes up pretty much exactly that of Freddie’s LTIR accrual. Healthy or not I don’t expect to see Freddie play even one more game before the end of the regular season.

where’s the GDT by the way?

 

[Clark4Ever]

This is the least excited I've ever been for Leafs-Habs games in terms of the outcome of the actual games.

I am excited to see how Liljegren plays in an elevated role though.

 

[Captain14]

Same for me.

I always sync up Joe.
I start by getting the radio feed on my phone with the NHL Network app and Bluetooth it to my TV Sound Bar, then tape the game for 30 seconds, pausing until I have Joe synced up. A few minor adjustments throughout the game and I have the best voice in hockey coming at me through the TV.

Thank you

I thought I read somewhere they were planning to get Fred into a few Marlies games? I believe you can go down for conditioning after being on LTIR for up to 6 days or something? Would make sense to get him a few games down there for sure.
