Post-Game Talk: HNIC - Leafs WIN the home opener!!!

[Evilhomer]

That would be one of the greatest turnarounds in hockey history.

Not really. They were generally a good defensive team under Keefe. Berube will simply take them to another level. He'll likely make this a 115 point team, which is why he will win coach of the year this season.

 

[leafers]

A pretty easy and expected win.

 

[1specter]

Really? Think both are more mature that that. But as always, I could be wrong.

I'm not sure why wanting to beat your old club makes you immature. That's a ridiculous take, have you ever played a sport?

 

[HomelessPepper]

Dubas sure lives in a lot of people's heads. If it weren't for all the Dubas haters, I would have completely forgot he was with Pitts.

 

[TMLAM34]

Been really happy with Stolarz. Definitely proving me and a lot of others wrong. He’s looking legit.

It's just some pathetic attempt at trying to look holier than thou, nothing more.

just checked the schedule. leafs don't play until oct 16, wednesday WTF

 

[ToDavid]

Still finding it strange that when the puck goes back to the point that 2 of the top shot threats are closer to the corner along the goal lines than the hashes or dots. Seems to stagnate puck movement.

I'm sure Savard sees something that I don't.

It's been an issue for years. Matthews likes to wander around on the PP and never seems to be in a particularly great one timer position.

It can't really be that hard. Tampa ran a a power play built around one timers for years and Stamkos and Kucherov seem to be perfectly capable of staying wide open for bombs.

I wish man. It's gonna take me a little longer to get over the hack that essentially ruined what should have been the greatest era in Leafs history.

Hopefully they fix the PP. I wonder if we will see Lil and Woll next game.

I don't think it's immature to want to beat your team a little more than others. Seems perfectly natural to me for competitive people

Saturday-Wednesday is not terribly unusual.

Let it go my friend, he's gone. Tre runs this show now. Hope he (and frankly, Berube) continues to improve this team.

 

[Burnie97]

Beauty win. Haven't been saying as much on here early on but 2-1 start is solid.

The big boys did a bit tonight.

Gotta think next game Matthews has a few points. Many might not agree but I think he's looked fine... just needs some puck luck.

If Leafs win most there games I don't really care who gets points. It's about the Leaf.

 

[PromisedLand]

Hopefully they wise up and get OEL on the #1 PP unit. leafs PP has needed a competent point pant for years now who can shoot the puck.

Saturday-Wednesday is not terribly unusual.

The following weak Leafs play 4 games and get boston on saturday as the 4th game. divisional rival shouldn't be on the leafs' schedule when leafs have travelled a lot.

 

[Cap'n Flavour]

Timmins is worse when it comes to being strong on the puck or clearing the crease but more importantly timmins gets beat in transition more often than not and doesn't have the foot speed/IQ or the first pass that Lily does

?? Benoit is the one who took a penalty after getting walked around in transition.

Matthews has been fine. I am not worried about him. he hit two posts in 2 games against both the scabs and then NJD.

 

[arso40]

Patches kinda looks done. here is hoping its just a one game off or something. Dude can't keep up

we all saw that but they couldnt pass up on signing him hes the odd man out for sure as of now shouldnt be in the top 9 hes slower than jt

Benoit has 4 penalties in 3 games but couple of them were refs being jackasses


WTF is timmins even doing here? I don't even know wtf he does on ice

Kuch, Stammer, Point and Hedman all have elite shots. The problem is two of our top powerplay guys can essentially be ignored when they have the puck.

 

[Confucius]

It just occurred to me. But I didn’t have the feeling we were going to give up the tying goal.

 

[bax]

Good game after the first period. Stolarz is so calm in there. Elite first star tonight

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

This allowing 1 PP goal every game thing they got going doesn't really work for me, please stop that.

But 5 on 5 they are fantastic.

They have allowed 5 goals in 3 games 3 of them have been PP goals, clean up the PK and they are golden.

5 on 5 they don't give up shit

One of his penalties last game was because meier was being a p***y, but he needs to take less.

 

[Superstar]

They look good now. Give them 30 games and Crosby and Malkin legs will fall off

Dubas probably working on a Malkin extension...he might give a discount, just like Crosby...
