Leafs/Habs Sat Night!!

[Big Johnny69]

Apparently Huet will be starting in goal for the Habs. Good idea or not? They need at least a tie, and this guy hasn't played in a while whereas the rookie goalie has held the fort quite nicely.

Carboneau is taking a chance here, hope it doesn't backfire on him.

[Wilster]

This is gonna be one hell of a game , Can't wait , i'm not sure who i want to win (GO SENS GO) but if whoever wins , if they can take out the Sabres in the first round for us , that would be good!!!

[Wilster]

Lets see , first its the soccer ,then Masters , then hockey , then UFC, not a bad day at all !

[Chieflongtee]

Huet looked pretty good in the 3rd period thursday night. It is a flip of the coin. The leafs have won their last 8 at home. What a finish.

[Andy4Par]

I think if the Habs are to make the playoffs, then Huet is their man. Got to get him in there. The Habs probably would have liked to get him playoff ready much earlier but better now than never.

I predict a shut out for Huet!

[Golfbum]

I am a SHARKS FAN. I do not care who starts in goal for the HABS.
JUST WIN THE GAME PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
I do not want to see the LEAFS in the playoffs. For personal reasons.

[Andy4Par]

Can't the islanders still take 8th spot with a couple wins or a win and Habs loss?

[Evil Chris]

Leafs must win in regulation. No OT or the Habs will get a point.

In any case, neither team deserves to be in the playoffs and whatever one makes it in won't last long in the first round.

The longshot is that NYI wins their two remaining games and neither the Habs nor the Leafs get in.

They (ISL) have to win both (vs PHI and NJ) and the Habs lose in OT or in regulation.

[Hank Hill]

Will be interesting if the Islanders lose in their afternoon game today and the Leafs and Habs are tied up late in the game. Will TO pull the goalie in a tie game knowing that if they go to OT, Montreal go to the playoffs?

[Golftime]

Let's hope it is a good game. At least the entire season for these two teams won't be decided in a shootout.

If the habs lose in OT they are in. They only need a point to secure a palyoff spot.

of course they will pull the goalie, for TOR the game is only 60min long, whatever happens after that, they might as well just pull the goalie in OT and let MTL score

Chief they need to win to get in for sure. If the Islander win there final 2 games they will be ahead by a point to get in other wise.
But lets not worry about that.

[fundonny]

I'll be at MacClaren's, anyone else heading out?

[Hacker]

I'll be at Bent Grass

[jonf]

Really hate it when the refs decide a game of that magnitude. And I'm not just saying that because I don't like the Leafs. They were victims of some really weak calls in the second, and the Habs fell victim to some bad ones in the third. You just hate to see a game like that be more about the refs than about the players.

And, as far as the players are concerned, I really hope NY wins tomorrow, because neither the Leafs nor the Habs deserve to make the playoffs after that terrible showing tonight.

[Hank Hill]

The NHL got what they wanted there. It was great viewing for the casual viewer or, Non Leafs/Habs hockey fans. For once i could just sit back and enjoy the Leafs and Habs special teams go at it, it was most relaxing. Had it been the Sens in that game, I would have been pissed at the officiating, there must have been a lot of swearing and furniture breaking going on throughout Canada last night as the game swung backwards and forwards.

[Chieflongtee]

You are correct. All along I did not think the Isles would be a part of the equation. The mystery will unfold this afternoon.

Ggggg Ooooo

Iiiii Sssss Lllll Eeeee Sssss

Ggggg Ooooo

[Pinshark]

LETS GO DEVILS!!!!

I must say I was at the ACC last night for my first Leafs game there and WOOHOOO! what a game. The Leafs could do no wrong in the first then did everything wrong in the second and the third well I must say it took a few years off my life for sure.

[fundonny]

Neither team looked impressive enough to challenge Buffalo. First round losers, that's what we watched last night.

[Colby]

It looks like New Jersey is sitting Brodeur against the Islanders. I think Toronto will be out.

Looks like another perfectly good parade route will have to be BURNED!!!!

[knickers]

Looks like another perfectly good parade route will have to be BURNED!!!!

Nope. Same one will be waiting for us next year.

[Sensgirl]

Nope. Same one will be waiting for us next year.

Is that the same one that has been waiting for 40 years?

[knickers]

Is that the same one that has been waiting for 40 years?

Yes. Thats the one.
