Things you learn from Habs board... Grabo is a cheap shot artist.

Hahahahahahahhahaaaaaa.

Can't wait to see their reaction to Komarov.

Hopefully Komarov irritates the **** out of Price in front of the net.

Less than 8 hours boys.

I don't remember the leafs having a line that has this skill/pest combination before. Kadri has a little ***** in him too as Steeg would say lol.

I want scrivens to start against Montreal too. But if Riemer starts, I think he'll play decent.

I say flip the coin to see who starts first game, whoever starts and they play well they get to play the next game, if #1 sucks then play #2 the next night, keep going until one of three things happen a) Riemer establishes himself b) Scrivens proves himself c) both suck and we go out and get a legit goalie.

What does an explosion sound like with an irrational french accent?

Pre-mature post, had to edit through a quote.

Hate to be Debbie Downer but there's some serious delusions we need to clear up:

- While Scrivens maybe gets the start tomorrow, I think we all know that Reimer is better. A ton of his bad play last year was a result of injury and recovering from it, and Scrivens should be the back-up for most of the year.

- Orr isn't good. You can't punch a guys face in if you can't catch him. Still shocked he made the roster over someone who's possibly more capable like... I don't know.. Keith Aucoin or Tim Connolly? While they don't fit into the Carlyle system as well, it's not hard to learn a system (as lots of sports analysts have pointed out several times). Also, we don't need two fighters on the roster (look how it turned out with Jay Rosehill and Colton Orr, not well at all, even when Rosehill was seen as a better offensive player than Orr). Mike Brown is enough especially when you have other guys who can fight (Phaneuf had 3 fights last year and has 32 in his regular season career.)

While I say this, a few things Habs GDT fails to recognize:

We have a top 9 and a bottom 3, we want at least 75% of our forwards to be scorers clearly. Also, our third line consists of a pest who's going to bug them all season, a young Nazem Kadri who looks better than ever, and a guy we recently acquired who's looking to finally succeed now that he's gonna be given more ice time (even though he's on third line, like I said before, top 9, not 6)

Also, haing a sexy bottom 6 isn't really the Habs strong point either. Gallagher's a rookie, Prust and Armstrong both tough guys (plus Armstrong's obvious injury history). Bourque struggled a ton last year with Habs (8 points in 35 games). Ton of problems in their bottom 6 too

Kadri and Koma are going to wreak havoc.

So ****ing PUMPED!!!

From the sounds of it, Orr leaned down and is a better player now. Only time will tell, but if true and he can still throw them that wil be a great thing.

Game day haha, so pumped! Can't wait for 7 PM haha too long!

I work til 5:30pm tommorow, a group of us are meeting up at a bar at 7:00pm to watch the game, gonna be tight for me to get there in time though, have to go to my place first and then the bar's a good 45 minute walk away, but then again I'll do anything to watch a leafs game live or on tv

 

[Phion Keneuf]

This habs GDt is making me laugh.

 

[crump]

Chirp fest.

That's great and all but we already have two other guys who can do that. We barely need two anyways, Brown is enough. While it'll be fun to see Orr smash a few heads in throughout the season I can't see him getting more than 5 points. And that's a good year.

 

[TSBSoupsta]

IF Markov is healthy and can be somewhat his old self, and help get our PP to being top 19 again.

The Habs will finish 6th.

Everything that could go wrong last year went wrong. Look at the team stats, they weren't as bad as the record was.

around 20th in scoring, but if our pp would have been top 10 like it usually is, he would have been around 12-15 in that area

Even with all the injuries and that poor D, 14th in goals against, so a healthy Markov should help that a little.

PK is one of the best in the league

And even strength scoring has been important with the addition wit a lot of the big buddies we have.

So if the Habs stay relative healthy, Markov improves the PP. I guarantee this teams makes the playoffs.

I'm in tears over this stupidity. Wow.

 

[Agnostic]

I had to retreat. 2 pages and a few really dumb posts, Couldn't stay there.

This one made me laugh



There are a few level headed guys there calling out the blindly biased guys.

To be fair that post was in response to this one.

We're going to lose. It's sad that even the Laffs who haven't seen the playoffs in almost a decade have a better team than us. At least we can hope Gally plays well.

[Blayzer]

It is going to be great watching hockey again. I predict a game with a lot of festivities.

Score: Leafs 4 Habs 3 OT

TOR goals from: Kadri, Lupul, Phaneuf (PP), Grabovski.
MTL goals from: Pacioretty (PP), Armstrong, Plekanec.

Fights: Brown vs Moen, Prust vs Orr, Komarov vs Armstrong, Komisarek vs White.

 

[TheBigThree]

Just read the scabs delusional gdt. They are bad mouthing komarov and the 3rd line. I really hope the 3rd line obliterates them tomorrow.
