GDT: Leafs vs Habs. Saturday, April 12/25. SN 7PM. HNIC Baby

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Got a hungry Montreal team coming in tomorrow that’s starting to feel the pressure. They’ll be going balls to the wall so the Leafs better be ready to match their energy.

 

[torontoblood]

Montreal will be on a back to back so hopefully they are exhausted and we wrap up the division with a win

If we sweep both games in regulation during this weekend, we win the division for sure. The bolts can catch us in points if they win all of their remaining games but we hold all the tiebreakers over them( RW, ROW and we won the season series record head to head -we were 4-0 against them this season)

The panthers are a lost cause anyway as it’s impossible for them to won’t catch us in points and in the standings, they can only accumulate 102 points maximum( by comparison, the leafs right now have 100 points already ) and that’s only if they win their all of their remaining three games. So it’s not even a guaranteed outcome, the probability of it happening is low.

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

I wouldn't mind seeing the Habs in round 1.

 

[Evilhomer]

Could care less about this one (and the rest of the regular season). Play the third and fourth lines 16 or 17 minutes each. Just try to get out of these games without any major injuries. The results are completely irrelevant.

Yeah they’re going to be desperate to clinch tomorrow after blowing it tonight; especially against us. Gotta bring a full effort.

I sure hope not. Let Montreal have the game. Tampa is not catching Toronto regardless of the outcome of this game.

 

[ashs]

Maybe let them win in OT

 

[Aashir]

with 5 dman i'd put jarnkrok at d lol

don't get injured, and win

Columbus plays the Caps at 12:30 tomorrow. A regulation loss for CBJ and the Habs will clinch ~4 hours before game time.

 

[Squiffy]

This is just a huge game coming. Can. Not Wait. This is the fun stuff. I think I will embarrass my kids and go Leaf jersey all day.

 

[Smif]

I’m in Montreal next weekend so secretly hoping the Habs catch the Sens and I can catch the Leafs game 1 vs the Habs after Easter dinner.

So, what are you saying ACC, hoping for a Habs win here??

 

[Schennanigans]

Please just win. Should be a great one. Huge game for both teams.

 

[Squiffy]

Every reason to win. The Habs are baked in to WC#2, they're back-to-back, we've been resting, 1st on the line. I will be just traumatized if they don't have an effort of the year. Sports can happen, but it better be through the wall effort.

Rather him there than in the top six lol. I recall Keefe had him and kerfoot playing d in a preseason game lol.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

So Stolarz vs Montreal and Woll vs Carolina or vice versa?

RWs are the first tie-breaker and if Tampa wins more of these last few games than the Leafs, they would have the advantage in RWs.

So, what are you saying ACC, hoping for a Habs win here??

Never

 

[TheGreenTBer]

They somehow own Florida.

Possibly their speed allows them to break free from Florida's unrelenting fforecheck

That's exactly it. We are talented but neither fast nor physical. We match up terribly with the Panthers.

 

[TheGreenTBer]

I'd rather face OTT than anyone else in round 1. The Sens are just happy to be at the dance, so I don't expect them to put up much of a fight.

Destroy MTL in this game and keep the #1 spot locked up, and keep MTL as the #2 seed. Perfection.

You don't think an arch rival that has played us very hard all season will get up for the playoffs against us?

One of the craziest things about the Habs this season, is their record against the Atlantic division ( 18 - 6 )

Leafs need any combination for 3 Leafs wins or 3 Tampa losses to clinch top spot, hope the Leafs take this game seriously , like its a playoff game and play tight ...but we know they probably won't show up.

 

[Hellcat]

Name the list of teams in the NHL that have actual fanbases just to know.

Any team that has more than 1 person in the stands?

I think any combination of Leafs points won + Tampa points lost = 5 clinches it for the Leafs. One would think they would want to lock it up quickly so they can rest some players next week.

 

[Sypher04]

I sure hope not. Let Montreal have the game. Tampa is not catching Toronto regardless of the outcome of this game.

Why would we have interest in “letting them have the game”? Montreal is basically garaunteed not to move either up or down and we’re still playing for something
