[fahad203]

Is that guy the first ever player to have a last name that starts with X?

Yeape.

Could we swap in the Marlies for the 3rd period?

 

[htpwn]

Honestly think they should just drop the penalty shot at this point.

I think the odds of scoring are still marginally better than a PP, but I'd much prefer the 2 minutes of zone time.

 

[Alamo Leafer]

That RBC jersey ad is terrible

prefer that to that milk thingy on the Leafs jersey tbh

 

[supermann_98]

I think Murray has been our best player tonight. I know that's not saying much given that 2nd goal against. But still...

Agreed

 

[93gilmour93]

A good third period from the big boys is all we need to win this game. Go out there and take this game….

Sorry it's a work in progress

 

[Burnie97]

Yeah it's only the 1st game. There will be a ton of hot takes... but they haven't looked that great.

Too many guys floating. Habs are f***ing bad. They should be all over these guys.

Hope they come out flying in the 3rd.

Love Muzz but holy shit he looks show. Holl has made a bunch of bonehead plays too.

1st line better show up in the 3rd.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Kinda what I expected tonight .. Habs giving it their all and the Leafs just a bt listless to get going.

Murray's been solid but that second goal is a sinker.

Need to score on that breakaway or penalty shot though.

Matthews/Marner need to get more dominant.

 

[ULF_55]

Team needs Robertson...

Does he RD?

it takes few games for players to gel

But lack of Mikaheyev's speed is noticeable

sub .890% has been good? Only in Toronto.

 

[SprDaVE]

Our best players haven't been the best. Their best players have been. It's that simple.

I still like some parts of our game so far but the top players need to play like it. Against a weak team, they really have no excuse. Matthews in particular seems really disengaged. Marner has been invisible for the most part.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

It’s funny how the two players most on here want traded are having terrible games. Holl and Kerfoot are unbearable.

 

[keonsbitterness]

60% chance this goes to OT.

Needs a lot, stop posting and focus on that?

 

[Hockey 4 Life]

Team looks slow and the defense has been very sub par. Murray has been ok to good nothing more nothing less.

Oh I was kidding

I do think we will miss Mikheyev this year.

Kerfoots been good? A missed chance doesn't remove that.

 

[TIGERCOOL]

Caufield is getting a f***ing hat trick I can feel it

game winner in OT. We've seen this movie before. Then we put up with the Caufield>Matthews narrative until the league adjusts to him and he comes down to Earth just like all the others.

 

[therealkoho]

The refs just owning the Leafs right now, that's a real pro call there

 

[Alamo Leafer]

This has the wizzel hattrick in OT written all over it ffs

 

[hockeyes]

Leafs looking good for a mid February game with a 20 point cushion on the division lead.

Not that I am picking on him but even the first goal was horrible
He had plenty of time to come across and face the shooter. He was down and out too early

 

[Racer88]

Over who? Malgin? He's been one of our best players.

Looks like the Habs have gelled pretty quick
