[ToneDog]

Healthy lineup. Find a way to solve Price if he goes God mode. No excuses. Get 'er done.

Leafs Nation - We'll sell you the whole seat, but you'll only need the edge

 

[PromisedLand]

Yeah the biggest improvement is the D it’s not even the same core at all.

Rielly- Hainsey
Muzzin-zaitsev
Gardiner- Dermott
Marty....

To....

Rielly-Brodie
Muzzin-Holl
Sandin-Bogo
Hutton-Dermott
Lilly

massive upgrade

Rielly Ceci
Muzzin Holl
Dermott Barrie

and Muzzin getting hurt in CBJ series and we ran...

Rielly Ceci
Dermott Holl
Marcincin Barrie



with dubas saying he has some intergalactic machine that shows ceci's underlying stats as pretty good

 

[ToneDog]

I guess if I had one more wish, it would be for Bob Cole to call the series. Cole and Leafs and Habs playoffs just seem natural. **Extra bonus** No Jim Hughson

I'd rather Danny Gallavan and Dick Irvine

If anyone in the NHL knows how to make Carey Price look like a fool, its Auston Matthews, and he has the highlight reel to prove it

It’s going to be a battle!

Glad the NHL gave the Habs a week off to get rested so we don’t need to hear that excuse any more.

now, if it goes 6 and the Habs get 2500 fans in the building, do they have to count the refs and Craig Simpson in that number?

 

[PromisedLand]

Mo, Jumbo and Muzzin getting no love.

Had to show some love to Mo there in the poll

 

[PromisedLand]

Watching parts of Edmonton - Winnipeg last night and reading about it today, it looks like McDavid/Draisital got fairly bottled up which is probably Montreal's game plan for Matthews/Marner tonight. That will be interesting to see and is slightly concerning.

The good news is, Tavares/Willy/Foligno is significantly better than Edmonton's 2nd line.

And I think we have decent depth

I expect our 4th line to pot goals with Jumbo-Spezza-Simmonds and be shit disturbers

 

[Aashir]

My prediction for this game: Kerfoot and Mikheyev get an early two on one and fail to convert on the chance.

That’s a shoe in. It probably will be on the pk or something

 

[ItsFineImFine]

I hope Bogosian playing = better version of Sandin cos Sandin is allowed to get more involved offensively. All my homies are meh about Dermott.

 

[tom leafers]

I feel like we did have multiple scoring lines, but we put shutdown guys all over now, so really we have a guy who never scores on the 2nd line, a guy that nothing ever happens on the 3rd along with 2 guys who do nothing but skate real fast.

And a 4th line, who I'm not sure how much they'll play, but man are they old.

Not to mention our 1st line never comes through

shhh dont give any lurking habs fans false confidence

Good teams find ways to win. Binnington played a godly against Col but they still won

 

[JediOrderPizza]

Mind if I join the bandwagon? Should be a fun series and hoping Jumbo Joe can snag a cup.

 

[JoeyBeans]

No love for Muzzin

If Price plays the way I expect him too, we're going to have score some ugly goals against him to win the series. Fortunately, we're better equipped to get into the dirty areas with our current roster.

Not only that, that score looks worse than it should be. I thought the Oilers actually outplayed the Jets for most part of the game

I expect Habs to start playing keep away from the get go. Expect to see a lot of Anderson. Really eager to see what Simmonds can bring, if he can bring anything
He should have green light to run over anyone he wishes, the question is will he. His next contract literally depends on these playoffs

Same with Jumbo. I get the feeling Jumbo will be the most physical leaf

I think Price is going to struggle because MTL will give up too many shots. If toronto attacks the net, we should win easily. I really do think Jake Allen is our kryptonite

 

[Clark4Ever]

We'll see how things play out, but personally, I'd prefer our bottom six to be:

Mikheyev-Nash-Simmonds
Thornton-Kerfoot-Spezza

I think we're less vulnerable to the counter attack with that set up.

 

[Suntouchable13]

I hope Rogers will see during these playoffs how superior CC is to Jimmy. I wish CC would become the full time #1 national play-by-play guy and leave Hughson in Vancouver.

Once we come out of this covid situation, I hope Hughson doesn’t return to call our national games

 

[al secord]

No love for Muzzin

Or Dre Dre and Snoop Dogg

Seriously though. Leafs in the Playoffs have my heart going out of my chest the whole damn time

absolutely! Always happy to have more fans hop on.

Has it been confirmed sandin is in over Dermott?

The lineup mentioned in my OP, is the projected lineup by Keefe, so I would assume so.
