Brad learned today he's going to have to repace all 6 D and get a goalie

I would have said, ‘Not sure Steve, maybe I will have an answer for your wife later tonight.’

Teeder my brother, good to have you back. Have a Molson Golden on me.
That defense and goaltending was atrocious. Treb needs to fix that.

Defeat does not rest lightly on their shoulders
Man, just watching the highlights again and ive never seen a player flub as many routine plays as Lilj does.

I liked his cherry-picking set play and how scrappy he is on every play. He’s like a bad kid from the wrong side of the tracks. In a good way!

He looked pretty smooth in preseason and then just jittery on open night. Don’t like that composure level.

Liljegren has always been like that and that’s always worried me about him being a top 4 guy. Overall I thought he looked fine today but when he flubs routine play he makes me nervous. Hoping he works those out of his game.

Pre-Game Talk: - Leafs open season | Oct. 11, Wednesday @7pm EST | - What's your roster?
I'll be more interested in how the team looks after the TDL. This is dress rehearsal time. Do you think one TDL would fill all the holes? Do they have enough resources?

Ya it was rough, at 24 years old its a really big year to see if he is a top 4 guy or another Dermott essentially

Noah Gregor seems like a player they can program into a Kerfoot type with a bit of defensive instruction.

I have to admit. I kinda laughed when I heard you guys/girls had signed him. Only one game, but he seems to be fitting in quite nicely.

Think people are over reacting a bit about the defence atm. 3 of their goals shouldn't of happened. 2 from bad turnovers by Brodie and Liljegren and that Caufield PP goal was just an unlucky fluke goal. We also held them to under 25 shots if I remember correctly so I'm not too worried about the defence just yet, especially when Samsonov can be much better. Liljegren does need to get new sticks though. These whiffs happen to him every game and it just can't be happening this often. He needs to figure that out.

I would put Nylander with Minten and Knies.. That line could be special, Knies needs a playmaker.. Bertuzzi will be a nice fit to Matthews and Marner

Not gonna lie, that was probably one of my favourite season openers I've seen them play. I hated them, I loved them. I got to see a hat trick. They won.
They were classic Toronto tonight.

Haha....not bad.I really really really really really wanna go to the scabs board and post this
I like how Bert was jabbing the goalie whenever he had the chance. Hopefully, Domi starts doing that too.

I know he had a hat trick but I wouldn’t say Matthews is “back”. Don’t get me wrong it’s great that he can adapt his game to still be a threat without the big shot, but he’ll be “back” when he’s wiring unstoppable shots through the defender’s feet from the circles again. The threat of that shot opens up so much space for everyone else.
Regarding the stick, I find that to be a very curious question. Having never played with a modern stick, would one v another make enough difference to affect control. Hey, a Vic was a Vic, leave me alone.
Steve Simmons is an idiot, I’m not sure why he is still able to ask questions to the players.
That shot isn’t available anymore not because Matthews isn’t back. But because teams are completely taking away time and space. We’re going to see Matthews have that shot clean anymore.

I have no clue tbh. I know back when Easton made sticks I tried out the Iginla curve once because I always used Sakic and wanted to try something new and I had the same problem as Liljegren with whiffing and the puck just seemed to slide right under the blade when I went to take a wrist shot. Idk if it was because the blade was much thinner or what but it was no good for me.Regarding the stick, I find that to be a very curious question.
