[quote=Colin Dambrauskas]With that being said....I want some predictions.


Score: ?
Mins until first fight: 15:27 into the 1st.
Best player from each side: Can't resist - Gardiner (just for HH) & Plekanec

4-1 Leafs
9:11 (call the WAAAamblulence!)
JVR - Galagher
- BlowMonkey

I could see a fight in the first 2-3 mins...would be fantastic

Can't resist - Gardiner (just for HH) & Plekanec
- Woderwick

Must pick a score!?

but they were 1 goal from the Stanley cup finals

Leafs are in trouble if that analysis means anything

from what I understand Parros is injured.... so no real tough guys to worry about in the Habs line-up.

no need to dress Orr in that case, and having McLaren - if he were available would probably just be too tempting for Gorges -he'd obviously would want another go ...

aside from that I'm not sure what other nastiness there might be...
- BorjeFan4Ever

Parros is playing, as is Prust and Tinordi. i'm sure there will be a bit of nastiness, though the absence of McLaren and Clarkson will be noticed in that sense.

We still find a way to win the game and the fights.

How many times have we said Kessel will sign for 8@8? We're all pretty much qualified player agents.

Yost agrees
- Symba007

Leafs cannot keep up their .920's save %, even though Reimer has done it twice now..... But Ottawa will be able to keep their .940's save% even though a derision has never been that high before and routinely has a down year following a high one.


The stats are awsome.

Interesting comments from TOR's Randy Carlyle: "We want to be more of a puck possession team this year. We've talked about having it more."

no they don't. that's not who they are. the reason they acquired Parros is to deal with teams who are so that guys like Prust and Moen don't have to.

It said the leafs were lucky.... It means jack poop.

Having the puck is a good thing. Not sure what your point is

Do you think they were the most skilled? they were able to score at the highest rate in the NHL (sh%)

"Luck" to me is strange way to put it.

Lol Phil at the press conference, he always looks bothered when he's speaking, I love it, hilarious.

the point is that Carlyle is saying the Leafs need to be better in the areas Mirtle points out in that article.
