Lane Hutson era starts now

Decided to honour some key memories from past leafs-habs games to mark this season opener

Thanks Dong.
I'm not sure what generated more panic the Habs Line Up or your missing GDT.
I'm thinking Jeeze can you cut the Man some slack.
How soon they forget about your 12:01 AM submissions of yore.

 

[Leto]

Prediction: Slafkovsky elbows someone in the face.

Kovalev approves. They should send that tape to Demidov.

 

[Rapala]

Can't wait to see the torch!!

 

[Paddyjack]

What bothers me the most in this start of the season is we play the Leafs/Bruins/Ott to start. Even if we go 12-70 this season, I would very like to start with a 3-0 record.

Looks fab!!!

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Is Dach hurt yet

Damn you.

Damn you to hell.

 

[morhilane]

So is Stolarz going to be better or worst then when he was with the Panthers?

 

[schwang26]

I don't like this, you wanna play against Pacioretty in April or May.

Of course that washed up bozo ends up a leaf. I hope Arber slams him.

The first real GDT in 176 days?? Nice job low-hanging @donghabs98

Stolarz starts for T O. Woll is already injured, lower body.

Woll is made of Wool.

Instant Beast Mode ON material right there.

Unless he gets tossed.

How do Habs typically do against a backup who on paper they should be lighting up? Don't answer that... it's a rhetorical question.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

I don't care if we miss the playoffs, but I really badly want to start the season 3-0 here !!

f*** Toronto, Boston and Ottawa!!

I don’t think he’s French so that’s a plus. Not a rookie either.

Wait ..what ?
Strubble is really injured?

 

[Trabdy2]

I think it was an upper body injury. Didn't sound like a serious/long term thing though.

 

[zx81]

I expect us to have a terrible start of the year. Bad trainning camp, best players barely had any good reps. We gonna get killed.

Still, GHG!!

Hopefully no injuries!

Yeah. It's tough to imagine this team is ready. I hope they surprise us but I have little hope.

Sorry, answering!

From what I found online, Stolarz record against the Habs:
3W-1L
898 sv%
13 GA
3.19 GAA (4-1-3-5 goals allowed, 3-5 were the 2024 games)

MSL's shelf life starts tonight. There has been no criticism during the past 3 years during the "rebuild". While the rebuild isn't over it is time for this team to start showing something tangible.
Based on the line up tonight this team appears bottom 8 in the league.
One thing I can predict is that I am probably not going to watch...I have no interest in this team. I am just tired of the mediocrity.

Enjoy the game!

Never gets old

pretty sure this is a yearly tradition for him at this point

Nah he will be slick about it, do it during a faceoff or something.

Never gets old

I had season tickets in the reds that year. I remember debating selling tickets for this game because back then a Toronto-Montreal game could sell for $3000 a pair. I ended up keeping them and going with my cousin, we got to see this live and up close, right in front of us. Probably my favorite ever moment at the BC.
