Toronto Maple Leafs Preseason Preview: Leafs at Canadiens

After beating the Senators twice in one night, the Maple Leafs head to La Belle Province and take on the Montreal Canadiens. It's still the pre-season so we're getting what can be generously called an NHL game.

The Leafs have the minimum number of veterans out on the ice tonight. Brad Boyes, Leo Komarov, Curtis Glencross, Matt Frattin, Peter Holland, Jake Gardiner and Mark Fraser are your NHL vets in the line up. Hoo boy.

Can we just give the Habs the W now?

Marner says Phaneuf sat beside him on flight to Halifax at start of camp, gave him advice and answered questions; Mitch says it meant a lot

No matter regulation-time score tonight in #Habs vs #Leafs, you'll get a 3-on-3 overtime, 1 of 3 such test drives for Habs this preseason
