GDT: Leafs @ Habs - 7pm

[justashadowof]

Holy Smokes that defence. If the Leafs don't tee off with at least a 5 spot I'll be disappointed.

What was I thinking predicting an upset? 4 rookies with 14 NHL games total experience. Seriously that's like the Leafs circa 1981 with a defense of Benning, Boimstruck and McGill.

 

[Dekes For Days]

So you're claiming that you don't know the potential line up or where to watch it

I didn't say that at all. I said that it would be nice for the game thread - especially the game thread for the opening night of the season - to have literally any information about the game, like it usually does. Instead, we got somebody rushing in at 7 in the morning to put in zero effort and post a game thread full of nothing.

At least now we have a Montreal lineup.

 

[Gary Nylund]

Game is already decided. Zero chance they lose this one.

Have you not learned from the past lol. I never say this anymore

Doesn't matter how many times the lesson is repeated, some people never learn.

Clean sheet, a lot to be excited for, and nothing major to complain about. By the end of the game I expect that to change even after a win. To be determined:
1. How will Murray do?
2. Is Malgin the real deal?
3. Will Matthews be in 1st place in the scoring race after tonight?
4. Who will step up if things get rough?
5. Is Sandin ready and rust free? No spinorama’s tonight please.
6. Will Muzzin survive the game?

Headed to the game tonight. First time in Montreal. WEEEEE!

Pre-season is too long, time to get it started.

DROP THE PUCK!!

Montreals forward line up is actually not too bad. They should be able to score some goals

I’m kinda shocked they went 0-8 in ore season.

Defence is full of rookies but still should have managed to squeeze out a game.

I dont think they’ll be as bad as they were last year

 

[BertCorbeau]

I’m predicting a high scoring 1 goal game in the end

 

[ACC1224]

I believe what I say has zero impact on the outcome. Tough to see them losing this one though.

Guessing Murray starts?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

The only potential pylons on defense are Savard and Wideman. The others can all move. There is a lot of youth on defense that might take a while to gel.

 

[Kelly]

I'm guessing these are the lines?

 

[Burnie97]

Optional skate this morning...





Said he'd negotiate mid season too but leaves it to the agent obviously. Sounds promising.

Wow, I still have PTSD from those years. It was insanity then, just as it is now for the Canadiens. Who made the deciision to go with 3 rookies...Imlach, McNamara, or Ballard? Either way, it wasn't another 10 yrs till we recovered from that.

 

[Duffman955]

Our offense should feast on their defense.

Very soft lineup tho. Expect that X guy to be taking runs at our guys

Was just going to say, watch out for the X guy. He's a punk, injured multiple people in preseason and needs to hit to keep his job. Not a hockey player but more of a cheap shot artist.

Grab 5 of them.

They haven't moved much in the NHL. Big difference skating in the big boys league.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Their forward group ain't bad and could cause some problems. We have to take advantage of their inexperienced defense core.

 

[Rude Dog]

Undrafted. He would have been a great addition to our back end, given his size and toughness. Played right under our noses. I guess we have to wait to see if his game will translate into the NHL.

Who has he injured so far? Last thing we need is this guy taking cheap shots at us when the game is out of reach.

That was Ruebens downtown Montreal on Sunday.
You can't get Smoked Meat anywhere but Montreal.
