GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Montreal Canadiens //Season Opener - part 2- Jan19 7PM

[CerebralDevil]

Defensive pairings

Phaneuf-Kostka
Gunnerson-Komiserak
Liles-Franson
I dont like all the offensive defense men, we need some sturdy solid scrappy stay home defensive minded players.
I was hoping Holzer and Fraser would be playing tonite, especially with the grit the Habs have.

 

[Schenn]

Anyone from London know which radio station will have the game? Gonna have it set up so its on when i drive home from work!@!@! soooooo pumped.

Am 980, am 640? I think its one of those.

I'm about an hour and a bit north of you, but we have AM920 which comes from Owen Sound. Doubt it reaches London, but it might.

 

[TootooTrain]

Nope.


Jim, Craig and Glenn

here we go with non stop crapping on us again lol

3 hours of listening to Healey talk about how Steckel is our shut-down center. Oh wait, he's not playing tonight? This man is so blinded by whatever has possessed him.

 

[Pi]

6.5 hours to go....I don't think I can take it.

At least it's only 2.5 to go till Pens/Flyers.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

It's more of a mix of two-way d-men. Should be fine against the Habs.


edit: and Komisarek. He'll obliterate Plekanec/Gionta etc.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Every time Leo scores in the NHL the whole bench should do that.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Is it confirmed Scrivens is starting?

You should 've figured by now that Carlyle never mentions his starters. Media just predicts based on who is home or away net.

Or even better, try mapleleafs.com to see if there are any videos where Carlyle names the starter.

 

[TieClark]

Kostka makes the most sense... either way whoever was put in that spot is only there until Gardiner is back and Kostka plays the closest type game to Gardiner.

 

[Mr Knies Guy]

WRT to Komarov-- I haven't been as excited to watch a player in a Leaf uni since Kessel's first game. For different reasons obviously, but man, I really hope he brings the edge into the show

Curious to see how Schenn performs. Going to be a good game

 

[CerebralDevil]

I dont get to see the Marlies that much, partly due to the fact I live in Wpg and was wondering how Kostka played. I know he is a solid PP specialist just didnt know how he is defensively. Komi better be bringing it, or its his butt out the door.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Ovi loved that leo dance.

CBC - Canuck Broadcasting Crew

And rest of Canada calls TSN as Toronto Sports Network.

Ohh God I hope it happens, I would piss myself laughing lol

Im pretty sure it's 980, but not 100%

 

[Quarter]

Komisarek, Gunnarsson and Phaneuf are all quite capable of playing good defensive hockey.

 

[MoreMogilny]

I wish I got the Pens/Flyers game on TV.

I have to choose between L.A/Chicago and Ottawa/Winnipeg.

Well, Phaneuf and Gunnarsson are capable but i doubt Komi is

same i thought it would be on for sure

prob gonna watch the Jets

And rest of Canada calls TSN as Toronto Sports Network.

But that's because we have such a large fan base..we attract the coverage.

My uncle was telling me how he met a Leaf fan in Hong Kong during his business trip. Not just one...they had a lot of fans and had meetings set up to watch the games etc.

I'd be curious to know if any one has even heard of the Senators/Jets etc outside of NA.

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Sort of OT:

I hope Cherry finally stops ranting about Americanisation of Leafs.. not that important, but quite a bit has changed in last year or so.

Leafs now have a Canadian GM, Head coach, top draft pick, captain, two alternate captains, and even a hometown Leafs fan playing (or on 23 man roster) this year.

 

[Pi]

same i thought it would be on for sure

I'm going to watch it online. I really want see the goal fest, Luke Schenn, Crosby/Malkin/Giroux etc.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Scrivens and Go Leafs Go trending on twitter .

Can anyone confirm if this is the official starting lineup tonight? (should be on p.1 of the thread if so)

Lupul - Bozak - Kessel
MacArthur - Grabovski - Kulemin

Brown - McClement - Orr/Steckel?

Phaneuf - Kostka
Liles - Franson
Gunnarsson - Komisarek

Scrivens
Reimer

If you have a box of any sort, Center Ice is free. Don't even have to sign up from what i understand. It will be there.
