Price GOAT

Subban too

 

[studDUGY]

That's what 3 superstars do. They carry the team.

leafs lose stanley cup

 

[Aspirine]

Daaaaaayum

 

[expy]

Priceless opening night win against the Leafs, Subban with 3 pts, and Captain Patches!

 

[Church]

Subban pace for 246 assists

 

[Team_Spirit]

Pateryn in for Gilbert please.

 

[David Suzuki]

Solid third period for sure. Weak in the first for sure. Mediocre in the second for sure.

Not an awful game though.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Price won this one. We were pretty badly outplayed.

 

[Smokey Thompson]

Those three are just... wow. Can't wait to add Galchenyuk to that list

 

[SergeConstantin74]

When you've got the best goalie in the league.

 

[KingTux]

Subban on pace for 246 helpers

 

[Sterling Archer]

Millard: is this. Different type of lose for the Leafs?
Kipper: I really believe it is.

Only in Leaf land is losing differently a good thing. Hahaha

 

[CH25]

Wish we had a good coach so people would stop saying we'd be nothing without Price. Yes it's annoying

 

[BigHabs]

Yeah!!!! Great start for the season.

 

[Tuggy]

40+ goals for Max this year.

 

[Runner77]

Shanahan'a Gucci loafer practice instructions to no avail.

The good
- DD...yep, I hate him too, but he was creating chances and almost scored a nice one.
- DSP, I heard he came in out of shape? He was the quickest one on the ice today and had the most poise
- Patches, had 2 nice goal and a nice chance but aside from that he wasn't spectacular, nor was he bad by any means.
- Fleishman, good first game, not on the scoresheet but was good defensively and had a nice breakaway he couldn't score on.
- Subban, 3 points, played a flawless game really.
- Price

OK
- Galchenyuk/Eller/Semin...one of them had a goal and a post but they weren't that great outside of that
- Beaulieu, great 1st...2nd and 3rd he wasn't too noticeable in a good or bad way
- Plekanec, great start but then a bad penalty and wasn't too noticeable

Bad
- Emelin, outside of hits, he was mostly bad. Can't carry a play or help offensively.
- Gilbert, bad giveaways, bad passing. Broke up a great breakaway though.

3 stars
Price
Subban
Pacioretty

 

[FloJack]

So ugly but I'll take it. Desharnais with 2 more minutes of ice time than Galchenyuk is a good start to the season.

 

[nyhabsfan]

Not Pretty
Lots of work to do.
Need a coach that can teach more than ONE breakout.
Our best players were out best players
Talent beat the Leafs who clearly had the better game plan.

 

[Habssince89]

We were sloppy but we certainly were better as the game went on. We need more time to gel

 

[Wats]

I think Subban might lose one of the assists, Markov`s shot looked like it hit Eller.

 

[phoque taupe]

Plenty of time to get better
or change part of the coaching staff

 

[Jeffrey]

We always say that the habs are lacking top end talent...
Price, Subban and Pacioretty are all top 5 at their position and the difference maker.
Now if we can develop Galchenyuk to that core that would be amazing.
