Game Notes

TOR
?Andersen will likely start for the Leafs
?Keefe confirmed that Robertson will indeed make his debut in a Maple Leafs uniform against Montreal. He could cement his spot in the line-up once the real games start with a good showing
?Teams are allowed to dress an additional two players during these exhibition games. No word on who the Leafs will use but I'd assume two of Gauthier, Sandin, and Marincin
?HOCKEY!

MTL
?Price will likely start for the Canadiens
?Montreal will be facing the Penguins in their qualification round, so going up against another team with two dominant centres is a good warm-up for them
?Domi on the 4th line is apparently a real thing and not a typo

My only concern for this game is Shea Weber shots. They always go high. Shoot him first.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

Almost surreal to see a gdt.

Go Leafs Go!

Do you remember GDT's? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

I know this is only a warm up game but I'm definatly watching this. It starts at 2 at night for me but it will be worth it, work is gonna suck regardless of how much sleep I get anyway. 
I've really missed setting the alarm for these night time adventures. Super stoked!
Go Leafs Go!!!

Is that the one where they have a pigskin and it gets kicked while riding horses?

Gauthier and Marincin join the line-up for tonight's game.

I guess that might explain it...maybe.

It's not where the 2019 53rd overall pick is, that's for sure.

With that line up, the Vezina version of Carey Price better show up vs the Penguins. It's their only shot.

With that line up, the Vezina version of Carey Price better show up vs the Penguins. It's their only shot.

They're not a team with a lot of high-end talent, but they do have a number of guys who can put the puck in the net relatively consistently (mostly of the ~20 goal season variety). If you're not careful, they will burn you. As long as the Pens don't get too cocky, they should take them out rather easily, but, they need to make sure they're not thinking about the next round before this one is over.

He's definitely a bit past his prime but I think the Price factor is still very real. But considering their regular season numbers they really had no business being invited to this thing.
