GDT: SCQF Game 1 | Leafs vs Habs - 5/20/21 @ 7:30pm - CBC, SN, TVAS

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

I agree. I think Jumbo is about to turn into a nasty piece of business in this series. The guy wants a Cup bad

 

[VanW27]

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

If he doesn't step up in the playoffs he's probably at best a league min or PTO guy next year, maybe even completely done as an NHLer. He's been getting by on Salary commitment and name recognition for a while now.

 

[budzz]

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

Totally agree. Said it in another thread... Boston Washington all 3 games have gone to O.T. I don't think my heart could take that in this series.

 

[Nylander88]

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

And give him the confidence to play with some more bite too. Especially when you know the games are going to get chippy. Have to feel better as a young buck knowing you have big Bogo beside you

I wonder what Leaf fans were posting on message boards back in the summer of '67

This is OUR TIME AND OUR THUGS! Montreal will do almost everythang they can, but see OUR TALENT TONIGHT SIRE. SEE TO IT. WE HAVE ALL THE PERSONEL; MONEY AND TALENT NOW. We BUILDED IT LIKE WE WANTED IT! HARD. Our gm dubas has done his best to date. Period. Given us a chance. Still ENTERTAINING WHILE AT IT: WICH IS KEY FOR ME MYSELF PERSONALLY. I INVEST HARD ON THIS CLUB OF OURS EVERY YEAR. NOW IT PAYS BACK. MONEY.

I absolutely cannot wait for the Habs to be get physical and try and hit Matthews. Pissed off Matthews is amazing and a sight to behold because when he gets pissed off he doesn't just hit 4th line guys, he roughs up guys like McAvoy, Sergachev, Kucherov, Chara, Weber etc.

 

[Dog]

None of the above.

City message board like leaving note attached by thumbtack?

I can see him playing the way he did versus Winnipeg when he got into it with Ehlers. Just trying to piss people off all night.

 

[Pi]

Prediction: Muzzin is going to wreck Anderson tonight with a perfectly legal hit.

 

[Gaston Gingras]

Toronto’s Offence Will Overpower Montreal’s Defence and Jack Campbell is the best goaltender in this series. Toronto will kill Mtl in 4 games.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

4-3 Leafs baby
Matty with da 1st and OT winner

 

[Mr Papagoergyo]

Cant wait mtl has no clue what there in for.
Foligno,Nash, Thorton,Bogo, simmonds,Hyman,Muzzin and others are built for the PO's, they can take it and dish it.

Simmonds was hitting his stride before getting injured. I have a feeling he's going to be fantastic!

 

[MapleLeafs9]

Is Romanov injured or a healthy scratch?

 

[Carltons Cup]

My only complaint is not having Joe Bowen calling this game on TV.

 

[Pi]

An article on Conn Smythe's Leafs after WW2 has a quote that pretty much describes our team.

"I should have figured it out years ago," Smythe concluded. "Youth is the answer in this game. Only the kids have the drive, the fire and the ambition. Put the kids in with a few old guys who still like to win and the combination is unbeatable."

Healthy scratch with the other two kids

 

[throwitawaypokemon]

My stomach is sore for this game.

 

[3blizzard4]

Anyone else concerned the Habs have had a week off? Their longest since the COVID outbreak?

I am, yes. They're definitely going to come out much harder than they did in the previous three games we played them and the boys have to be ready.

 

[throwitawaypokemon]

Healthy scratch with the other two kids

Don't understand this logic on the Habs part

 

[Cams]

Prediction: Muzzin is going to wreck Anderson tonight with a perfectly legal hit.

This would be great, because then Anderson will spend the whole game chasing Muzzin around the ice, trying to run him, and be absolutely thrown off his game.

"Can you believe they've raised seat prices again! Twenty bucks for reds at centre ice!"
