I can't do game stats, I'm sorry. I got too carried away after a long week and a weak loss.
Please, anyone, provide stats for everyone else. I apologize for dropping the ball.

To Our Forum Ghosts
And all their brethren
Hallowed be thy fame
The Stanley Cups won
The glory you won
On the ice and amidst fandom

Give us this day
Our daily win
And deliver us not unto early tee-times.

And suffer us no losses to the Leafs.

GO HABS GO!

Nov 8 2008, 12:05 PM

Truthfully I was worried about last night because of the lay-off and also that the Blue jackets have some decent players and they were coming off a win at home ...Halac as well isn't exactly inspiring confidence right now either...his shoot -out record is abysmal and we can only hope for regulation wins from him at this point...however I think the team will be less than satisfied with their effort last night -too many give-aways and passes weren't as sharp as they could be..as well the first goal we gave up was terrible and should never have happened...I noticed Lang dogging it on one shift last night but all in all the whole team didn't look sharp (Komi as well)...also I don't know whats going on with Sergei Kost but he looks lost sometimes..I know he scored a goal but maybe a trip to Hamilton will bring something back that's missing as well as infuse the line-up with some energy ( D'agost...Pax or whoever) if we are truly an elite team tonight is the time to show it ...Toronto is mostly a team of plumbers and though they will put out a good effort on this night I see the talent take over.....5-1 Montreal

I would never nurture feelings (good or bad) on an upcoming hockey game, as it is afterall only a game.

I hope last nite was a tune-up for tonite's game. I REALLY want our Habs to crush the Laffs ,,,,BIG-TIME, cuz I am going to THE game with my misguided Laff fan GF

(who got the tickets unbeknownst to me).

I hope the team learned their lesson from last nite, cuz that was pathetic.

On another topic, the French GDT embraced the Super Hero theme that was started in AK46 and Markov threads last February (the 13th to be more precise). I got carried away with Super Pleky and Bat Signal/Batman (Markov) images back then but for tonight, I'm going with Captain America who always does good against the Laffs

Wasn't that 6-1 game on HNIC? Of course, there are exceptions to every rule.
It seems sometimes, though, as if coming out flat is part of the game plan.

Since the attitude prior to the season, when it seemed everyone in the Leafs system had written Toronto into the Tavares Lottery, they've played some surprising games. The last thing this world needs is a Habs loss to fuel any sense of Toronto competence or confidence.

Hopefully yesterday was just part of the habit of losing after breaks. 1st game to Buffalo after a week off from PreSeason play, to the Ducks after 4 days off, and again yesterday after 5 days off.

I would love to see a dominating, 60-minute effort to bury Toronto.
After all, it's Autumn; the time is ripe for the Leafs to fall.

to be honest, i watched a couple leaf games this week...nothing else was on, but if we shut down that line we pretty much can win this game. all the other lines just run around and do nothing. a good thing is that leafs are turning the puck over a lot so we shold be able to get a handfull of odd man rushes.

Nov 8 2008, 02:48 PM

The Leafs are a hard-working bunch of players who make up for what they lack in talent with energy and grit. This is not a gimme game, not by any means. They've lost a few in a row and will be anxious to get back on the winning track, and I'm sure they remember their humiliating loss to us a few weeks ago. If we don't come out ready to play, we could find ourselves in trouble.

Nov 8 2008, 03:04 PM

Its saturday and the Habs are playing the Leafs. I expect the Habs to be pumped. Though many posters detest HNIC, for most players it is a big deal. So you should expect the boys to come out and Price to be sharp. I expect the leafs will be playing hard as they've had 3 straight losses.

Should be a great game...

This game is going to be a lot more competitive than the last Leafs-Habs game. Both teams are coming of losses and both will be looking to get back on track by any means necessary.

This is absolutely not the time to start a losing streak because the hardest part of the schedule is the month of November!

Win this game, get back that winning attitude and regain any lost confidence.

GO HABS GO! WIN THIS GAME (convincingly is possible...)!

I am glad we lost last night. I hope we lose tonight in regulation after being down 4-1 and losing 4-3. Maybe the boys will realize we have to play 60 minutes?

yes lets hope losing ina shootout on a friday night then blowing out the leafs on the saturday becomes a life long tradition!

That's exactly the reputation I'd like our team to have, adding to the existing talent.

Who thought hab fans would admire the reputation of the Leafs this year...but this is a fair assessment. A few players made some very good comments over the last week. I believe Higgins commented on how skill is far less valuable if the effort is not there. I was glad to hear comments like these and now I hope this mentality will eventually translate to better efforts on the ice by everyone, talented or not.
