The Leafs and Habs face off tonight in a game which is critically important to both squads. We expect a heck of a clash !!!
Montreal is an early season slump which threatens to become a full scale collapse. The team is in disarray because of early season injuries coupled with the poor play of key players like Subban and Price. The Habs playing in front of Price seem to have lost confidence in their goalie. If the Habs fall behind ; it is almost a guaranteed lost. Tonight; Price will have to be on top of his game and hope and pray that the weak offense of the Habs can get him a couple goals.
We expect Montreal to fall to Toronto tonight. The Leafs are not yet a top tier team in the NHL but they are certainly steadier than Montreal at several positions. Reimer is what price used to be and Phaneuf is the kind of blue liner that PK Subban might become someday. We should see fireworks from Lupul and Kessel tonight and the Leafs should put the Habs away on their home ice.
A Maple Leafs and Canadiens matchup is always a crowd pleaser. The teams despise each other and the fans feel the same as well. We hope for both teams that the intensity generated by this historical rivalry shows up on the ice tonight. What teams lacks in skill, they can make up with heart. If Montreal plays with heart they might squeeze thru and beat Toronto. If Toronto plays with heart; their superior skill will destroy the Habs.
