Pre-Game Talk: Wed. Feb. 27th Vs. Montreal Canadiens | BIGGER GAME! (Mod Warning: Post 211)

Apparently Bourque is out with a concussion, and neither he not Therrien knows where he got it from...

I think getting his face caved in by Orr may have played a factor in that. Love to see them try to do something about it.

PTSD?

I mean win or lose, how pumped are you for Wednesday? I look forward to playing Montreal, great intensity all around. Hopefully Grabovski faces the music and doesnt turtle.

James Reimer also inching closer. Still adjusting to wearing a brace on his left knee. Good for the knee, tough for performance.

This sounds like Reimer will not be in this game and possibly a few more

Who would Grabovski fight though? He's obviously not going to fight Prust or White

Orr or Fraser will take care of that bum,Prust.

 

[Schenn]

Glad to see Orr back in against the wimpy Habs. Hopefully the Leafs can even just put on half the performance they did last time they face Montreal.

 

[Pi]

Time to shell Carey Price again.

I was thinking Pacioretty.

You know Pacioretty is going to do something stupid tomorrow night.

No worries. We have tons of people on our team to actually back it up. One huge hit from Holzer, Fraser, Phaneuf, Komarov, McLaren, Orr, etc., and the game goes down a road that I'm sure the Habs want to stay the hell away from.

They don't have the personnel to win in a game like that against the Leafs.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

maybe it's just me but I dont have a great feeling about this one. I hope I am dead wrong and we crush them.

 

[go_leafs_go02]

When's the last time the Leafs/Habs have played on a weekday?

Going to be weird with this game on TSN too...although I'm not complaining...

I always have a good feeling

Maybe with Ron Wilson but a Carlyle coached Leaf team makes me feel good about this teams chances on any night.

Pacioretty has to be one of the worst when it comes to whining. That's all he does.

I love Habs-Leafs games on TSN!

Could be wrong but i believe montreal has yet to win VS all NE teams....hopefully the trend continues

Max Pacioretty and Ryan Miller on the same team would be hell with all the whining.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

.......Where we have won our last two games

3 in a row isn't it?

 

[The Saurus]

Their record is 2-4-2 against NE teams.

this is the truth

Important game, need to win.

I'm going to play devils advocate here, we have the nastiness yes but all it takes is to take a few dummy penalties and its lights out. The habs may not be an "in your face" team like Toronto, but they are deadly on the powerplay vs us just average on the PK, that is a game we DONT want to play. Leafs need to stay away from the extra carricular activities and just focus out grinding out a win.

 

[TheGroceryStick]

I sure to hell hope this is a emotional, character game. Montreal is going to try and bring that to the table, and everyone knows they have no business trying to play tough hockey.

They have played decent the last little while, but it seems those games are ones where they could lull the opposing team to sleep. (in their defense it's not a bad thing, it wins game) Toronto and Bruins both (weird putting them together) have a way in getting them off their game, mostly emotionally.....I look forward to it....and hope the crowd is just as much of help energizing the rivalry.

Time to kick some ass!
