GDT: Leafs @ Habs - 7pm

[Dayjobdave]

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.

I’ve always felt you should be able to decline the penalty shot and have the two minutes

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

a person taking a raw number and posting it with 0 context, only in toronto?

Well... the implication is that a player having a mediocre night at best has still been our best player. Hence why I wrote that it's "not saying much".

 

[crump]

Always seems to be an ugly crazy game in Monteal game 1. Just win it in reg please.

Jennifer B, How I missed you over the summer

Said no hockey fan ever

 

[Racer88]

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

I wouldn’t say he has been our best player but he did score a nice goal

 

[notbias]

Looks like the Habs have gelled pretty quick

They don't look like they've put a lot together, they have just been capitalizing on mistakes, not sure if that is gelling.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

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.

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

Or Slafkovsky. That would also fit within the realm of Leafiest outcomes

 

[Superstar]

Team looks like ass. Stop f***ing around

Yep, up one goal, give it back on a breakdown...up one goal again, let's turn the puck over needlessly. This would be a 2-0 game if this team played with any sense of urgency and maturity...you'd think they have learned from the last few years of playing in the playoffs.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Hardly the biggest concern tonight but Marner seems to have reverted to the guy that defers again. He doesn't have that shoot mentality he brought in the 2nd half last year.

 

[alliuk12]

man i can`t Listen to the broadcasters on toronto and montreal games this year they are so bias it`s montreal made a great play and toronto fluked a goal. better to watch the simpsons then listen to how great the habs are when they are crap

Marner and Matthews have ghosts so far.

Marner had the nice first assist, but then a no look pass that was intercepted and resulted in the first goal against. Right now, it has been at least as bad as it has been good, which mean that they are nowhere near good enough.

At least the 2nd and 3rd line have looked good. 4th line is doing 4th line things too I guess, but they could be better as well.

 

[Mitch nylander]

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

I'd argue him and Malgin have been our most noticeable players.

 

[notbias]

I wouldn’t say he has been our best player but he did score a nice goal

I think he's been one of our best forwards.

But also, it's 40 mins...

It's only 2 period so far. It takes a while for players sometimes to get into the swing of things

 

[BrannigansLaw]

It’s alright. We’re pacing ourselves for the playoffs.

i mean...if you think the goalie is the problem in this game...i dunno if you are actually watching the game.

 

[DarkKnight]

Team needs Robertson...

This will go over like a lead balloon, because he scored an easy tap in open net goal, but I think Malgin has been pretty useless to be honest. Awful on the walls and that line needs that. Just an observation, he has skills, see how it plays out.

 

[Kelly]

Matthews has been off beat so far, hopefully he can pop off the winner in the 3rd.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Kyle Bukauskas is still wearing a mask. I find that really weird at this point tbh.

 

[CabanaBoy5]

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

It's not the missed chance, it's the boneheaded penalty in the offensive zone, which if we recall, were a major MAJOR contributing factor to our losing game 6. He's always taken stupid penalties.

 

[Racer88]

I think he's been one of our best forwards.

Ya lots can happen in the final 20.

 

[fahad203]

Kerfoot is one of those players you will always notice because he does work hard.....

But like my gym teacher once said, you can work hard doing the wrong things in life
