Land of the Leaf

The Montreal Canadiens are looking to avoid a collapse in their historic season, and we’re all sick and tired of hearing about 100 years of Les Habitants.  Bob Gainey, it appeared, had shuffled the deck for tonight as Mike Komisarek and Andrei Kostitsyn were going to be viewing the game from les press box.  According to Damien Cox though (and he has dictated most Maple Leaf decisions for a decade now), they’re both rumoured to be dressing for tonight’s game.  Tomas Kaberle will once again be out of the Maple Leafs’ lineup as he’s still nursing a busted paw.

If the Leafs have anything to play for a this point in the season, it’s the role of spoiler.  For one last time this season, hockey’s bitter rivals square-off and there’s actually something on the line:  a Montreal playoff appearence.  Lookout Laraque, Grabby is coming.
