Habs
Leafs
Hoping this game lives up to the hype, unlike their last match up.
Are the Habs for real? They have such a hard time scoring at full strength, though tonight's game could see a lot of PP opportunities and the Habs have notched a PP goal in each of their last games. Habs' record may not be indicative of their true selves, as they have played more games at home than on the road. I see PK performance as of late being a huge factor tonight and these two teams are virtually even, and you can even argue that the Leafs hold a small edge as of late. Leafs will need stronger discipline if they are going to be able to hang on and make it 3-0. PP-wise, gauging both teams' recent performance, I'd give a slight nod to the Habs, based upon the level of competition.
Defensively, again these two teams are neck and neck. By the time the Habs notch a few more games on the road, the Leafs could feature the better defensive numbers. The same goes with goaltending and I really don't see enough of a edge difference between Price and Scrivens THIS season to make a case that either is that much better than the other.
If Leafs stay out of the box, I think they take tonight and the under hits too. If they lack discipline, Habs gain the edge.
VOTE and share your reasoning.
