GDT: Toronto @ Montreal - Wednesday 7pm - SN

[MoreMogilny]

Hope for the leafs to set the tone early for this season. This a contender vs a rebuilder. If we truly are we should see evidence of that tonight. Excited to get going

 

[Rare Jewel]

The chorus of "Fix You" should not be played this long, it completely botches the song.

 

[ClarkSittler]

When is puck drop, 8:30?

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

 

[TakeTheBody]

Intercourse The Habs.

 

[mcleex]

Nah, the Habs overdo it every time and you know that too.

They don't have much to look forward to, they need this

 

[egd27]

He’d have to clear waivers going back down though

I don't think so, given he just cleared a couple of days ago:

In order for a player to be assigned to the minors, they need to clear through waivers unless:

-they are exempt (see below), or

-they previously cleared waivers and have not played in 10 or more cumulative NHL Games since OR been on the NHL roster for 30 cumulative days.

Laine going full jonkler

Haven’t seen the torch yet.
What team doesn’t overdo it?

 

[Spargon]

Even the Habs board is cringing and falling asleep to this crap lol

 

[1specter]

Haven’t seen the torch yet.
What team doesn’t overdo it?

The Leafs have had a pretty standard opening ceremony for a few years now. Yeah every team has some sort of video or overhyped introduction of the team for the year etc, but the Habs tend to drag theirs on and feel the need to always honour some teams from multiple generations ago.

 

[sxvnert]

Over the top ceremony for basement dwellers. This pregame is f***in ridiculous.

 

[93gilmour93]

Here we go again my friends. Let's get it rolling with a win tonight. GLG

 

[Anthrax442]

I hope someone destroys that goon

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Haven’t seen the torch yet.
What team doesn’t overdo it?

The Habs and Knights are both a bit much. At other ends of the spectrum.

 

[MoreMogilny]

Whats the over/under on a dangerous play from xhekaj tonight

 

[Craig Button]

Why is this taking so long?

Why are they so slow with everything?

 

[mcleex]

When is the cirque de Soleil show over

 

[saffronleaf]

Wonder if Marner cries tonight. He loves crying against the Habs.

 

[keonsbitterness]

I’m sensing many have never seen a season opener before. Every team introduces everyone. The Leafs will be no different on Saturday

The 73-74 Habs home opener came up on my youtube feed recently. That ceremony was more understated than this and that team came off a Cup win.

 

[HockeyVirus]

This intro is longer than the Habs hopes will last this season

 

[ThrowDemTongs]

There's absolutely no reason for the guitarist to be doing all that

 

[Legion34]

Good lord I have never hated fix you more in my life

 

[Craig Button]

Man this is like watching a KDrama when the main character gets hit by the bus of death and everything is in slow mo for like 5 episodes

The Habs must think every home game is a season opener then.

For sure they have in the past. I’ve been to a ton of Leaf openings this isn’t much different. @bax will be in my seat’s Saturday
