Ok,,,,OK,,,Ok. Let's see if I can remember how to do this, .

IT'S ,,,,,,,,GAMEDAY!!!!!!!!! (well, preseason, but that still counts, right? )

(Cue, roar of the crowd)

Maple Leafs @ Canadiens 7:30 PM TSN4, RDS, and Radio 690.

TONIGHT,,, THE BABCOCK COACHED LAFFERS

VISIT THE BELL CENTER

TO TAKE ON OUR HABS.

Here's the rules for pre-seaon games regarding veterans:

The official verbiage in the CBA:

15.4 Exhibition Games.

© A Club shall be permitted to dress a minimum of eight (8) veterans for any Exhibition Game. For purposes of this Section 15.4©, a veteran shall constitute either:

(1) a forward or defenseman who played in thirty (30) NHL Games during the previous season,

(2) a goaltender who either dressed in fifty (50) or more NHL Games or played in thirty (30) or more NHL Games in the previous season,

(3) a first round draft choice from the most recent year's Entry Draft, or

(4) any Player who has played one-hundred (100) or more career NHL Games.

Now that that's out of the way, let's get on with it.

A 5 minute sudden death, 3 on 3 will be played tonight, regardless of the score, so don't leave your seats if the score is not tied.

Max is injured, and DD, and Semin have day-to-day injuries.

Expect some fierce competition from the prospects, and recent acquisitions.

The line-ups will be up tomorrow,,,, sometime.

The Laffs are playing in Ottawa tonight (last night), so they will have had 1 pre-season game under their belts, by the time they roll into the Bell.

Emelin, Tinordi, Pateryn, McCarron, DSP, Kassian,,,,that's a lot of weight to be throwing around out there.

[HabsRuleForever]

That's just to remind the Laffs that they will be crushed into the basement again.

We're still a "small team" right?

[RyderRocks73]

Kind of disappointed we don't get a look at Semin tonight. But perhaps they would have reserved him with the rest of the rest-em-up-regulars crew.

Semin is day to day with an injury.

[RyderRocks73]

Semin is day to day with an injury.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Perhaps they would have reserved him with the rest of the rest-em-up regulars had he not been injured.
