Good, we'll be sharp and they'll be rusty.

Lines at practice per Shilton:

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Nylander-Tavares-Mikheyev
Vesey-Kerfoot-Engvall
Petan-Boyd-Spezza

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Dermott-Bogosian
Sandin-Lehtonen

Andersen
Hutchinson

I'm so jacked to see this team with a full compliment of forwards and Vesey and Petan in the press box.

Thornton and Robertson are gonna be fun to see with our already stacked group in the top 6, not even counting Simmonds because he's obviously more long term.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Hopefully the Leafs do us proud in this one, cause I don't want no scrubs.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Hope the Habs are as undisciplined tomorrow as they were against Edmonton las night. Give us all the powerplays.

 

[Optimist]

Let's play Whack a Mole with the Habs tomorrow!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Might as well just push em off the cliff edge they are standing on. Would be fun.

 

[stickty111]

So here is something interesting. A couple days ago, they added Lilly to the taxi squad, and now they put him on the active roster.
Now he isn't playing tomorrow obviously, but it's interesting.
Could be just cap gymnastics again.

 

[Captain14]

I’ll be honest, I was quite surprised at how we seemingly breezed to victory last game.
I have to give a lot of credit as to how well we are defending at all areas of the ice.
I suspect Montreal will come out a lot more aggressively to start.
4-3 Leafs in OT

 

[nuck]

Habs were a top 2 team who just got thumped by the Oilers and they will come out hard. I predict a desperate first period and if the Leafs don't feel that they will be in trouble. It isn't the 3 guys who are overproducing that you worry about, its the 10 guys that are overdue. I am stoked!

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Rangers/Boston game is a war ha.lots of fights. It might get dirty tomorrow if we get a good lead.

 

[Leaf Fans]

I'd like them to add Sabourin. He is like Cory Perry without the talent.

Whats the point then?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Whats the point then?

He will be able to go to for tat with Perry's antics.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

He will be able to go to for tat with Perry's antics.

And why should the Leafs care about Perry's antics? Why should we bother trying to counter an inconsequential 4th liner with a guy who is barely even an AHL 4th liner who can't play more than 5 minutes a game and sucks at literally everything except fighting. This isn't 2010.

 

[stickty111]

This is a different era. Habs will be laughing at us for adding an AHL player to counter

 

[BlueBaron]

What strikes me is it's been years since we saw a 60 minute effort that wasn't in the playoffs, this year we have a few.

Some very promising signs.

I think that Montreal will be desperate and will come at our players. I would like them to know that there is someone that will return the favor.

Let them laugh.

 

[stickty111]

Let them laugh.

And make them better? How about not? We are not adding a useless fighter to combat.

Good they can be off their games chasing us around.

 

[hamzarocks]

I hope we give Hutchinson a star versus the Sens. Andersen has been really good recently but he is playing a crazy amount of games with 12 out of 14 starts due to Campbell getting injured. I want to say a rested Andersen will be ready to play better come playoff time. Hutchinson is bad but he probably is closer to .905 bad somewhere in the .88s. I think the sens are so bad/we are so good that we can rely on Hutchinson to get 2 points in the game he is started.

Obvsiouly that is looking ahead a bit, for Satourday expecting a 5-3 win for the leafs.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Good they can be off their games chasing us around.

That would be great, and we would have a guy on the bench if that is not working.

 

[Jmo89]

Survive the first period and they win the game.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Nope I don't want a useless fighter either. I would like someone to go tit for tat with Corey Perry's and his I'll on Montreal if they decide to play a dirt bag game. That is why I suggested Sabourin, a guy not known for his fighting.

 

[Subway Schenn]

Wouldn't be surprised with a 4-0 or 7-2. That's how well we're playing.

Auston lights the lamp again.
