Expectations were always high for the Montreal Canadiens heading into this 2015-16 season. With many of the core players in the prime of their careers, the addition of several useful players, and the anticipation of youngsters stepping up, the fans and team alike are well aware of what these Habs are capable of. Still, a perfect record through 8 games might have been wishful thinking.

Tonight, the Habs will face another test as they attempt to improve upon their historic start to the season. While they have overcome stronger teams than Toronto so far, the Maple Leafs always play the Habs hard.
