New lines (shocker!) vs the Leafs

Forward lines at practice:
23-11-77,
70-10-73,
12-28-14,
13-22-74-71


I figured JW would have to go back to Stoll's line soon, (courtesy of a JFTC article/stats) without JW, Stoll's Corsi falls to the low 40's, with JW they go up to almost 50%. Stoll needs JW to be moderately effective.
So that was only a matter of time. I don't like JC and AK on the same line tho.
MR is a good fit with TT and TP, they'll get plenty of feeds.
But Sutter likes that blender and God knows they will probably get scrambled up at some point.

Hopefully not as careless in their own end, tighten that up. And put some pressure on JB, although with the team in front of him, he's used to it.


OT- Sid Crosby might have the mumps...and it sure looks like it from the photo

This will be the first time Brown has been on the top line all season. I watched game 5 of the SCF today, and there was chemistry between all three of them, not sure why the 3 have yet to play together.

It was that kind of night.

Isn't that basically holding?

I was gonna make a reference to how it's Montreal and it shouldn't surprise anyone, but I wouldn't want to offend any lurkers. Oh well.

Not in MTL, that's considered a clean play no matter how hard you throw him to the ice. In NY, you'd get 5 years for mugging someone like that.

Good thing we beat Buffalo to kick it off then... wait, what?



More like what the **** have Kopitar and Carter done to be put on the "first" line?

I agree, should've beat Buffalo. But let's get a win in Toronto hopefully. Getting 50% of road trip points ain't that bad.

I watched the 20 min highlights and I loved the chants. I've been aware that Montreal fans do it when they're winning, it's cool in my book. Adds a Euro flavor.

Montreal is the 4th most penalized team this year
27th in PP opportunities.


27th in PP time at home
21st in PP time on the road.
15th in PK time at home
4th most PK time on the road

Last season the PP minus PK time at home was +8 sec good for 24th in the league

The myth is dead.
