Vesey-Kerfoot-Micheyev
Engvall-Boyd-Spezza

Reilly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Dermott- Bogosian

Confirmed at practice this morning as well. Seems like Petan, Engvall and Micheyev were played at practice with many linemates

 

[slozo]

Nice, looking for a great effort from Dermott, Vesey, and Engvall. Got to play well to stay in!
Hoping Andersen can be his usual steady self, and as long as our big boys show up, we'll be ready to win this one.

Biggest game of the season so far . . . when's the last time we could say that about a Leafs/Habs game?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Like the lines.

First real measuring stick game of the season. TBH I don’t care if the Habs are competitive as long as we bury the rest of the division behind us to make it a two horse race for the top spot.

[ToneDog]

Don't care whether they win or lose, just do not want to see them get pushed around and not push back. Just show up and compete hard. It was nice loading up on points against the sad sack Canucks, time to bring it tonight.

[Mickey Marner]

The ultimate battle of pace vs structure. Do we come at them in waves or do they muddy the waters and force us into turnovers? Should be a great game.

Too bad there won't be any butts in the seats and Danny Galavan to call it. As much as I hated Leafs going into Montreal and getting beat on a Saturday night, he was a beauty.

 

[ToneDog]

Petan not the winger I want playing with JT and Willie but I hope he pops one tonight.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Habs have had 3 days rest. Have a bad feeling about this one.

 

[Byron Bitz]

If Vesey doesn’t get going tonight I’d like to see Engvall get a look on the third line.

You are an eternal pessimist, so that's not overly surprising.

 

[tom leafers]

Finally a tough match up! I’m excited for this one. Just play hard and look good and I’ll be happy

 

[Sypher04]

Can't wait for the Habs to get all the early powerplays, jump out to a lead and then watch it dissapear when we finally get powerplays in the third and win in OT.
So Habs fans can again tell us we only won because of our powerplay despite scoring the exact same number of powerplay goals on less powerplay opportunities.
Should be fun

A good team should split the two games.

 

[Brobust]

Habs have had 3 days rest. Have a bad feeling about this one.

Leafs have played 3 over the past 10 days.

Actually the Habs play a much more aggressive forechecking style than the leafs.

 

[MattySnipes]

Definitely excited for this one. Love playing the Habs.

Definitely more exciting this year with how both teams have looked.

Here are the lineups with GSVA from theathletic.com

Glad to see Engvall on that 3rd line.....though annoyed to see Vesey there too.

I like every single thing about this lineup right here other than Vesey. Hopefully he gets the next turn in the press box and an Anderson, Robertson, or Thornton gets his spot there.

 

[Confucius]

Habs have had 3 days rest. Have a bad feeling about this one.

How do they get so much time off? They're off for like 5 days next week as well.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

I have a feeling this won’t be a close 1 goal game. I have a feeling we will be on the good end of it. 4-1 Leafs The kind of game Muzzin steps up in and lays a couple doozie hits. I just know he will be looking for them coming.

 

[ToneDog]

Their bottom 7 look much better than ours. Our top 5 need to make up the difference.
