I'm watching Bob McKown and the SN360 screen is flashing the odds of the games tonight. Boston's favoured over Philly, Vancouver is favoured over Calgary, LA over SJ and The Leafs over Montreal. ?? Leafs over Habs? Are 10 Million Ontarioans betting on the Leafs to move those odds. Maybe home ice means that much. Or there are a lot of extreme optimists living in Southern Ontario. It's -108, whatever that is. I can understand 2 to 1, or 3 to 1, but those -100 and -200 numbers throw me. What do they mean? That means if you bet on the Leafs to win you have to bet $108 to win $100. I'm not sure what the betting line is on the Habs (I don't know how to convert lines) but it's probably something like +108, meaning you would bet $100 on the Habs and you would win $108. Either way you look at it, tonight's game is almost a coin toss from a betting standpoint (a line of -108 isn't a big favourite). The line for tonight: MON@TOR (link) V+ 2.60 V 1.85 T 6.00 H 1.65 H+ 2.30 Vegas Line

Habs 5-10 in openers all time against the Leafs why god only knows but it's to give them hope for the. Onto of October and keep the parade pylon guy employed for at least one month a year. Hope we buck the trend and start this season off witha bang... The sched us brutal I won't panic early there has been a lot if change.....look out if they don't have any growing pains. Not sure they can win the cup depends on the opponent but I'd hate to get there and not win...going deep is a tough road to keep getting back too year after year so if they have to wait one or two more before they can win it all but get better in the process I'm happy the team is in the convo going forward.
Go Habs!!!!

Well to be fair they do tend to beat us in the openers as the past few seasons have dictated, let's hope we buck that trend tonight. We have a tough start to this season with 3 games in 4 nights all on the road, would be nice to get off on the right foot.

The Sportsnet hockey panel might take some getting used to ... Panger, MacLean and Kyreos ... The Tragically Hip were just the way I knew them when I saw them live ... terrible ... Scott Oake now addressing PK-the-flatulent ... so, the game has to be starting soon ...
Cheers.

Gord Downie definitely was not lip synching. Wow. Caught up with Rob Baker at a local roadhouse a few years back ... nice fella ... Oilers fan I think ... I've got a lot of their earlier material but I haven't bought anything of theirs in years ... Gord Downie is a Bruins fan (is that what he said on stage) ... Cheers.

At least they brought over all the homer HNIC guys. It is going to hurt not being able to flip to RDS this year.

It was a good tip, but nobody had Kozun or Kadri. Tighten up in our zone boys.

Post by Bones on Oct 8, 2014 18:40:44 GMT -5
Kadri ties it up on a a deflection Price had no chance, turns out goal shouldn't have counted, leafs were offside. It seems the refs aren't in midseason form yet either, (or perhaps they are) This game is gonna be sloppy understandably, but it will be entertaining, always is when these two teams play.
