Habs vs. Leafs
 

So,

Game #1, season opener in TO.... 2 very new rosters.

Lets hear your predictions for tonights game.

I predict 5 minute majors.

Several of them.

Respectfully I predict me not giving a crap until they prove themselves worthy of playoffs - I haven't seen the passing and energy to win in years, so if they don't care neither do I.

I'll watch some highlights, but I need to see crisp passing and some friggin caring about winning rather than a paycheck. Tired of most Leaf's who leave suddenly become super stars at some other team - like WTF - why not Toronto?

My thoughts exactly...:smoker:

Realistically, the Habs should win. They have more scoring talent overall at the moment.

It should still be a rough game though. Can't wait!

Prediction? 4-2 Leafs !!!!

I predict 3-2 Habs

Lost fights ...

Toronto 3
Habs 1

Let the AutoBet commence.

I will always choose the Leafs over the Habs. The blue and white they are my team!

Close game... Leafs fell short in OT due to defense.
Leafs Nation will likely blame Toskala, what else is new?

I don't blame anyone - same game same shit another year. I watched it for a short time because of this thread, hoping to be proven wrong, but the passing was shitty and defense made errors - I'll keep on eye, but hardly think that this team will make any headway into the play-off's

I hope Leafs win because I'm from Toronto.

There is a Leafs Anaheim game here on the 26th. I thought of going, but turns out I may just be in Toronto that week.

What is the stats on Leafs / Habs match ups over the years?

Oh I am unsure of the historical stats between the two, but suffice to say it's a very long-standing rivalry.
I think the Leafs may have the edge in the last 10 years or so. ;)

I tried looking up stats myself and could not really find much, except that for odds purposes, they are fairly evenly matched.

I am fighting my urge to seek out the knowledge.

I would LOVE to know those stats, especially for the last 10 years in particular.

Evil knows exactly what I'm talking about ;)
