MTL
?Price will start for the Canadiens
?Jake Evans, injured in Game 1 of the series, could be available to play while Lehkonen will likely remain out

You're doing God's work here C.

Great job.

 

[Guilt Trip]

Interesting stat..Matthews and Marner have been on the ice for one, shorty, goal against so far. Nothing at EVS. Brodie hasn't been on the ice for any goals against.
Willy is actually the worst forward at EVS with 5 against.
Let's hope for zeros across the board tomorrow.

 

[ZBBM]

Pressure is building.  Let's see how Matthews responds.  He was great last year against CBJ.  This year, just good-ish.  A big game from him would seal the deal I think.

 

[Jeremiad]

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Kaberle15]

They need to play this like it is game 7.

There were some brutal giveways last game that the Habs made then pay.

Finish them. Go Leafs Go!!!

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Get ready for a million shots of the crowd.

 

[bustaheims]

Get ready for a million shots of the crowd.

And commentary on how much energy they add, momentum they support, etc, even though the arena will still be mostly empty.

 

[cujo4ever]

Leafs played like crap last game and still almost won. Expecting a big W tonight.

GO LEAFS GO!!!

 

[Bullfrog]

I'm assuming they'll still have the artificial crowd noise? Otherwise, it'll sound like golf claps.

I can't stand them two pro hab commentators that do our games. You can tell there Montreal fans.

Manifesting a Willy hat trick, two of them from Matthews after a PK shift.

Yeah, I don't see it. They're trying to satisfy two crowds, and Cuthbert is mediocre and Simpson worse than that. Cuthbert is from Toronto and Simpson from London.

When I looked that up I saw he's married to Jamie Sale, somehow I never knew that. Also, briefly I was super confused when I saw his ex-wife is "Christine Simpson". I'm like, wtf, she looks exactly like him, I thought she was his sister. Then I realized it was another Christine Simpson, so no, he didn't actually marry his female equivalent or his own sister. Sportsnet Christine is indeed his older sister.

How the hell did he land Jamie Sale

Edit: Ah.

I will not be processing this information at this time.

If Foligno is laboring and can only play a few minutes at 75% or whatever then forget that.  Put Brooks back in.

To my relief, Shae-Lynn Bourne is not also married to Claude Lemieux.

The timeline of these events of note piqued my interest in Simpson more than anything he has ever done as a broadcaster.

If it's as bad as Shilton described I can't see him playing. We'll see I guess.
