Pre-Game Talk: Habs @ Leafs - Wednesday April 7

[tazsub3]

Very different habs team than the ones that have played the leafs before.

The biggest change is the coaching. The habs have been more dynamic than what the leafs will remember under Julien.

Then of course, there's the two notable losses of price and Gallagher, along with the addition of Staal.

This is kind of a measuring stick type of game, so I look forward to it.

There might be alot of duds from here on out with the way the standings are shaping up, but this might be an exception.

I see this as a game that will establish whether they will challenge for 1st in the division, or coast along till the playoffs.

Predictable cuck shit by the franchise.

Who actually uses the word cuck? Wow sry but wow

Edit: to clarify, how does the word become a pejorative about a hockey clubs management? The whole cuck meme is cringeee

Everyone. Its literally meme speak like Mint was back in the day.

Ok so you're saying it in a way where what the word actually means doesn't matter? I really don't get the cuck meme beyond the right-wing men's rights activist misogyny way haha

Its an insult and a common one used by a lot of people nowadays. And not just children. You’re taking it literal.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Leafs have been hot and cold for a while now and their PP nonexistent, keep it that way! Always a lot of pandering to the Leafs fans pumping players and the new boy is Hymen, he's one I'd like to tear apart

Hymen?

Yes I'm aware.

Why exactly do we need 4chan incel shit on our board though?

Leafs legitimately have the most stacked roster I've seen in over 40 years. They are a very tough team, habs better be ready to play.

 

[Gravity]

Our previous franchise C on wing vs our current franchise C on wing.

Most stacked for the Leafs or the NHL? Because this year's Leafs are not as deep as many teams over the past 40 years.

My hope is it was specific to just the Leafs. If he meant NHL wide. Ooof. I apologize in advance.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

When is Ben Shitrot back?

They haven't said, but I wouldn't be surprised if he's back this weekend (Saturday vs Jets).

He's close.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Not surprised on Price and I'm glad they're being cautious with him. Allen will do just fine. If ever we needed a solid backup, it's now. We've got a crazy schedule coming up.

 

[Bacchus1]

When is Ben Shitrot back?

CHIAROT won’t be back until end of April at the earliest, I imagine. His surgery was around mid March, and they predicted a 6-8 week recovery.

Lmao the 2002 Red Wings say hello, you can notice their Stanley Cup rings on their hands as they wave too

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

only thing i don't like is Weber on the first wave. but first wave isn't really the first wave so it's fine

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

it's one of those insults where the ones who use it are afraid of being called one themselves

that might be all insults actually...

i'm afraid the 80's oilers got nothing on this leafs team, congrats

 

[RealisticLeaf55]

We are AHLers compared to those boys and the 77 habs.

 

[nhlfan9191]

Why exactly do we need 4chan incel shit on our board though?

We don’t. I personally have never used the word. But I understand it’s pretty popular. I’m actually surprised we barely ever see it on this board. I think that post was the first time I’ve seen it.

 

[Habs]

I don't think there's a way to beat Toronto without Price at the top of his game.

The Leafs are going to fold in the playoffs, once again. So soft, so easy to play against. Matthews, Marner and Nylander all hate the rough stuff, don't react well to getting hit. That D is subpar, and every week brings a new goalie to the mix. I wouldn't want to play Winnipeg in a 7 game series, very heavy club. The Leafs? Meh. Stay out of the box and play them hard man-on-man (grrrrr , now its getting all hot and steamy in here)

 

[Spearmint Rhino]

Leafs will choke in the 1st round, it's a guarantee. Campbell is playing out of this world at the moment, new goalie shine will wear off once teams watch tape on him instead of Anderson. If Habs can stay out of the box I'm not worried about the Leafs at all.

 

[angusyoung]

Hymen?

Yup! just a few pokes should do it
