Location: Videotron Centre, Quebec City, QC

Opponent SBNation Site: Habs Eyes On The Prize

The Leafs’ preseason rumbles on, and we’re now within a week of official opening night.  The contest for jobs on the third pair and the fourth line seems to have heated up, although cynics will say many of those spots are taken in reality.  #Freivo

At any rate, the Leafs are coming off a 5-1 pasting of the Habs on Monday night, a game where the Toronto’s superior forward skill carried them off to victory on melting Ricoh Coliseum ice.  That match featured two near-NHL lineups, whereas this one looks to have a more minor-league character.

For tonight’s game, you play the coach, and make a lineup out of this announced group who has travelled to Quebec City.

18 Ben Smith

Even if this isn’t a real game, beating up the Habs is always fun, and this is another chance for our bubble players to flex their hockey muscles.  Go Leafs go.
