Toronto Tuesday
By Habs Blog on November 13, 2007 | 26 Comments

The Canadiens play in Toronto tonight on a rare Tuesday meeting with the Leafs. The Habs have elected to put Carey Price in between the pipes instead of Cristobal Huet.

It’s no secret Cristobal Huet for whatever reason, has never really been effective against the Leafs and has never won a game in Toronto. It seems like an easy call to make.

If the Canadiens manage to put forth the effort they did against Ottawa, they in theory should have absolutely no trouble with the Leafs.

As we all know, the Leafs are a different team when they play the Canadiens and it is never a predictable game.

Avatar37 : Senet - I agree, Metropolit is impressive and Metro and Moen always seem to come up clutch. I really hope they sign him to a 3-4 year deal.
goalie : Isn't it a lot more interesting and fun when our team is playing well and on a run!
Senet1 : So we have a good third line the fourth line is playing responsible hockey and the first line is generating offense as well as controling the play. Plek is playing hard and still managing to get a goal here and there so if Cammy can get back maybe we have four solid lines. Right now Martin is rolling the four lines well and I think we are tiring out the other teams.
Senet1 : I also am impressed with our fourth line Metro, Lapierre and Darche. They are playing some productive minutes killing time and tieing up the other team in their zone.
Senet1 : This line sort of reminds me of the Gainey line, they always scored the big goals in tight games. Believe it or not when the game was tied 1-1 I thought is is about time our third line got a goal and a few minutes later they did. It is become a regular thing this line.
rocky : Moore brings great puck possession in the offensive zone and Segie can finish plays. Nice to watch, they are smoking third lines on other teams right now.
Senet1 : I agree his brother is working out really well with Moore and Moan. They have offensive abilities and at the same time are very responsible defensively.
rocky : He has talent you know, but just no intensity or desire for hockey at this stage. He should watch his brother right now and do his best to emulate him.
rocky : That would s*ck. They should sit his ass.
Senet1 : Yea I agree, because if not either Pyatt or Darche will be sent back down maybe both?
goalie : I must say I'm impressed with ther attitude , effort and quality of play the Habs are exhibiting. I didn't think they'd pull it off this year. A playoff spot is certainly there for the taking. WAY TO GO BOYS and KEEP IT UP. Thius is a whole lot better team for the fans to be cheering on also!!!
rocky : He has no DESIRE out there and that is such a killer when every other guy out there is really playing hard as hell.
rocky : In my mind we would lose nothing whatsoever by sitting him and giving a rookie a shot. Especially when Cammalari returns.
Senet1 : yea really, just when his brother starts to play well he disappears completely. Is he playing injured, if so he should sit out and get well.
rocky : Oh my god, if you are looking for negatives right now that is the place to start. He is not even trying to skate. Did you even notice him other than his badly timed penalties?
Senet1 : I bet Hamilton could beat them anyway.
rocky : Exactly senet, the leafs live to put out players when they are in their predictable non-playoff position. I can almost gaurantee they do it again.
Senet1 : Something is going on in AK46's head. He has played badly before but right now his head is not even in the game?
Senet1 : Yes I remember what they did to Koivu two years ago on the last game of the season. It might now be a bad idea to bring up Hamilton for the game.
rocky : I agree, the missing link is Cammalari's scoring touch coupled with Bergeron on the powerplay.
Senet1 : Once Pouliot got back and Moore was attained we finally had two lines that could be productive in all aspects of the game. If we could get Cammy back so that our second line had more offence 5on5 we will be tough to beat.
rocky : What scares me about the leafs is every time we play them in a situation like this one of our top guys gets hurt. We should sit the stars for that game...just kidding.
rocky : Character guys like Gionta, Metropolit, Moen, and Moore are making this team look like a playoff contender. The Moore and Pouliot deals changed the plot this year.
Senet1 : Now lets beat the Leaf's who have been playing spoiler on just about everyone parade lately.
Senet1 : Your great rock
rocky : Just call me sunbubble senet!
Senet1 : I agree with Rocky about contract negotiations at this time of year. Hopefully, we can still get Plec signed.
Senet1 : Oh and to think we were going to tear them apart less than a month ago. Or Maybe it has been Rocky's Power of positive thinking that has helped. LOL
Senet1 : It is amazing when you have a healthy team and you give the players time to develop some chemistry. I am also impressed with our defence of late, they are now healthy and have had time over the last two months to play with their partners and get used to one another. If this team gets additional help from Cammy and Bergerion we are going to give anybody a tough time in the playoffs.
rocky : I have to say a major contract negotiation at tis crucial stage of the season would be a big distraction.
rocky : The other thing is WOW. This team has its shit together right now. Playing a very dicsiplined style of hockey generating pressure in all parts of the ice. They are doing what other teams have been doing to them all year. Bring on Cammalari. This team has played its way into contention and deserve credit for that.
rocky : Hate to say it but I say Plekanek will walk.
Senet1 : Our GM could offer him the "C" although that might put Markov's nose out of joint.
Senet1 : Well I sure hope not too but if he wants more than 5.5M then it will make it hard to sign him.
goalie : When I just read that Plec will not be negotiating until after the season....I'm worried. He has been our best player this year and I'm worried that he may just decide to 'walk'.The Habs cannot let their best players just 'walk' like BG did. Poorer players, let them walk but not Plecs.
