GDT: Round 1 - Game 3 | Leafs @ Habs - May 24, 2021 @ 7:00pm EST

Sheldon Keefe on Nick Foligno:
"He will play tonight."

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Habs fans saying that Simmonds chickened out and punched Edmundson only after the refs came.

they say Edmundson can ragdoll Simmonds.

Thoughts?

There is no way he could go toe to toe with Simmonds, he’d get smoked. He’s much bigger than Simmonds in weight and size though so if he got a good hold of him he could toss him around pretty easily. The problem for Edmundson is that Simmonds has exceptional reach and he hits very fast and very hard; he’s gonna get some shots in quick before he can be wrestled.

 

[Once]

Ben “fraudulent tough guy” Chiarot.

If there isn't any preconceived plan to start Freddy on the second game of the b2b, I think y'all were right that Campbell is most likely starting both games. Pending how he feels after tonight.

Simmonds is clearly sending a message for the next game. Scores don't need to be settled at the end of a 5-1 win.

Ben “fraudulent tough guy” Chiarot.

Weber, Chiarot, Edmundson, Romanov and even Petry probably spend time after practice cross checking punching bags to get game ready. Comes so automatic to them during game time.

 

[axman15]

Outside of Petry, I don't think there is a guy on Montreal I would take before any of our top 6 D.

 

[Not My Tempo]

I think Weber is going to be fired up after paying the 5k and just start shooting 100km+ bombs

Lol Weber can take as many point shots as he wants, it’s a low percentage play

 

[Stephen]

The only threat with their blueline is the fact that they're trying to injure Leafs and succeeding at it. On the flip side, if they're going to start dressing a rookie like Caufield and continuing to break sticks on guys, that's not the smartest self preservation move.

LFG! Go Leafs Go!

Thoughts?

Nothing has been funnier or more bizarre this year than Habs fans convincing themselves that the likes of Anderson, Chiarot, Edmundson are tough guys.

 

[saffronleaf]

Hoping Muzzin or someone runs Caufield like Chiarot did to Sandin.

Exactly. Play Caufield hard.

 

[123offtheglass]

Thank god

 

[Petrus]

Thank god

I just hope whatever his injury is, it does not get worse.

Let's f***ing ragdoll them tonight.

I like our blueline better, but that is a stretch. I would say though their best forward whoever you want to say that is (Anderson, Tatar, Gallagher, Suzuki?) Would likely be our 5th or 6th best guy with everyone healthy.

I agree, apologies for not making it clear in my post - I wouldn't take any of their D (outside of Petry) before any of our top 6 D

Yep. I also expect Simmonds to annihilate one of these guys when the time is right. He will know when the time is right.

 

[TMLeafer]

I actually like what Simmonds did late in game 2. It was a message that, yeah, we kicked your ass today but we're still not satisfied. And if those crosscheck machines spend all of game 3 chasing after Simmonds, it's perfect.

 

[3blizzard4]

Habs fans are penciling in Ovechkin in the their possible lineups for next season.

 

[BTP]

Crush them. Leafs in 5. LETS GO.

Going after our skilled guys seems like a dumb strategy when the Habs have such few offensive talents up front. Especially when 2 of them are Gallagher and Caulfield, two very small players.

 

[TheGreatOne11]

This just gets me so pumped for that documentary they've been filming all season.

Can't wait to see the boys and the run they go on for their Captain.

As for tonight, use game 2 as a blueprint for success, play the same and we got this.

Campbell will always keep us in, more point shots on the powerplay, Simmonds on pure disturb duty tonight, hit that little smurf so he gets scared and runs back to the shire, the playoffs are for men, not little boys.

Hopefully the big boys play well tonight and i see a good game from the third line.

As always, play hard.

This is for J.T

As he shouldn’t. Caufield is just another Toffoli, but he’s not even at his level yet. Habs fans acting like they are adding a Matthews type to the lineup tonight.
