[HuGo Burner Acc]

Hopefully this season if a punk bitch like Denisenko hits Xhekaj from behind someone else will go beat that person's ass.

Kirby beat the crap outta some dude last season, maybe he has a psycho side

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Did Anderson look like he had any idea where his linemates were?

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Slaf looks slow

Id say small for his size. Getting clapped by McCabe eh

 

[_habsfan9]

wow these leaf fans really sure do love their team . zero emotion in that building lol

 

[HuGo Sham]

please sit Gallagher and pearson next game. my god

 

[No More Subban]

Guhle played the least of all D in the period. Ridiculous handling from St louis. Hes your best D.

guhle was kinda sloppy in that period and he got hit by reaves. but i agree he's our best dman

Slaf looks slow

He is 7 feet tall and 300lbs

 

[PhysicX]

Solid period by the Habs, cannot complain.

Gallagher is hella slow hahahahahha

He is 7 feet tall and 300lbs

You talking about me?

 

[Miller Time]

very good period. Lot's to like about the positioning, communication and assertiveness we're seeing from all 4 lines.

Suzuki is so damn good... created two good scoring chances for himself, set up two good scoring chances for linemates, made at least 1 direct steal and caused a couple of turnovers. He plays such sound, effective hockey.

 

[No More Subban]

We'll get the first hatty instead.

ngl, had the same thought

Big guys take time.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

I thought slaf looked ok outside of getting destroyed on the boards him getting leveled once a game is such a red flag he needs to get his man strength before he gets seriously hurt playing like he does

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Anyone heard Pearson name at all this period?

 

[Kennerback]

Slafkovsky had some good reads it’s just he takes a little bit of time to execute. He needs to cut that time down and commit instantly to a play.

Cruel to make an evaluation in such small increments. I’ll do it anyways: 6/10. He needs to make things happen.

 

[ZUKI]

Gallagher is the worst player in the NHL

guess who's gonna win the biggest drama queen of the game tonight, live on this forum ?

 

[KevSkillz4]

Newhook looks a very smart player. Fast, smart, two-way. 40-50 pts this year will be perfect.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

You talking about me?

You are 3 feet tall and 700lbs

Solid 1st period from Montreal. Leafs had no shifts where they kept possession for long periods in our zone. Outlets were strong as was puck support in defensive end.

Both teams are playing conservatively.

Gallagher can't handle the puck at all. He's terrible.

Pearson looks like a useful bottom 6 player that won't provide much offense, but won't cough the puck up in bad areas either. He has a Travis Moen type vibe, albeit smaller.

Slafkovsky won his puck battles, is shooting a lot more, is getting some quality puck touches, and is hanging around the slot area - all great things.

 

[HabbyGuy]

Anyone heard Pearson name at all this period?

Just once.

I don't think Anderson understand the concept of linemates.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Friedman is an idiot. The call on slast night was barely a penalty. Definitely shouldn't have been a penalty shot. And who gives a shit about penalty shots. No one can score in a shootout so there is absolutely nothing to get excited about with a penalty shot.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Kirby beat the crap outta some dude last season, maybe he has a psycho side

Who?! Pezzetta maybe... if he's dressed.

I'm just talking about if a soft player doesn't something, respond as there are some Habs that can beat up a soft player

 

[Miller Time]

He is 7 feet tall and 300lbs

would love to see him get a little more aggressive sending that force directly into oppoenents

 

[Milhouse40]

Good 1st period overall, Toronto didn't had much space out there and Habs were first on the loose puck, good scoring chance but no grade A scoring chance either.

Allen stopped the first shot and Evans of all player scored the first of the season.

Now I want some of our kids to put some numbers on the board. MSL rolled his 4 lines in the first but need to put his top 6 more often.

Harris 2 hits and 2 shot on goal in the 1st...
