Habs and Leafs Sat. 7:00

[H_T_L]

Is this the night we clinch or do we prolong the agony?

[maas_art]

It would be nice not to be embarrassed for a change... 

 

This leaf team has elite talent on their top 2 lines but some pretty questionable players on lower lines... no idea why they give us so much trouble. With all our supposed "depth" we should be able to exploit that... 

[H_T_L]

I expect a good game. We're coming off a day of rest and with Allen in net should be much more competitive. Time to send a little message. Clinch night.

Danault confirmed out for Montreal. Has returned to Montreal.

Who do we need to lose? Calgary? Vancouver? or Both?

We win and the Flames are toast no matter what they do. We win and Nucks lose and the same thing 

[HabsRuleForever]

So we’ll lose then.

Has anyone seen the lines from yesterday's practice?

Well where do you plant your foxglove is more the question. Neither Vancouver or Calgary are going to sweep their last four.

If this team is looking for honor let 'em sell better hot dogs to fans. Cheaper. Speaking as management might I presume. LOL

Does the news even pay an independent writer for an interview with Drouin? LOL

Best 2 on defense?

Can Primeau be NHL?

Who is our next coach?

I mean the list goes on.

After we lose in 4-5 the first round it's going be be a great summer looking ahead anyhow.

Danault has a concussion. Out indefinitely.

[ramcharger440]

Should be interesting tonight. the Laffs may take us lightly as we are so banged up on the other hand we may just not show up! it is pretty crazy when you look at how many of our core players are out.

[rkgoalie]

no reason to see why we should win tonight, that is why we will

habs win 4-3

So,they both have to lose. Trying to be a realist. Although,  in this case,  realist=pessimist. 🙁

Lines confirmed. Excited to see what JK can do with Tatar/Anderson. That line has a lot of potential. Disappointed to see Caufield with Staal and Perry. I'd prefer to have put him back with Lehkonen and Evans and play that as the 3rd line.

Go boys...but did that scare y'all?? lol

That's how some pundits described the Habs' last game. Going to be a tough one tonight, I think it largely depends on the play we get from Kotkaniemi and Suzuki. Those two lines are going to have to carry us.
