Liking Brodie’s game. Much needed on the back end.

Habs have come out as advertised this game. Albeit, this is first game energy, and they came ready to play. Leafs have been very sloppy, and are very lucky to be in this game in my opinion. Love how simmonds changed the momentum there. Such an element we have been missing. It wasn’t an instant boost to the bench, but you can tell it was a sign, saying we are not going down without a fight. Love it

Were fortunate to be tied.. Habs outplaying us so far . We need a better 3rd especially 5 on 5

N.y.l.a.n.d.e.r..............

Lol yeah duh. He's our best player so far. I'd like to see him get occasional shifts with Matthews and Marner

 

[Sniper99]

I do what I can, my son.

Can you make it permanent?

 

[saltming]

No, but nothing happens in a vacuum

 

[GrizzLeaf]

I'm glad some of ya'll are done firing the GM and coach, and trading the whole roster away

Expect the games to be loose and sloppy for a while.

Feels good to watch a Leafs game. I missed almost all the games last season due to coaching.

Go Leafs Go!

Matthews + Marner tonight...

Time on ice: 24:38
G: 0
A: 1
+ / -: -2
Hits: 0
Blocked Shots: 0
FW/ FL: 12 / 8 (60%)

A lot of people hating on the Captain, but that time line needs to produce. Especially at even strength. That's where the criticism ought to be placed.

A hughson free hockey night?

Thank Christ

Trophy for this post.

Man does john tavares have quiet good games

 

[Duffman955]

We can score whenever we want. We just need the mental freshness

Simmonds fight changed the game

 

[Guided by Veseys]

If Andersen could have just stopped every high danger chance we would be winning 3-0. Our perfect team sabotaged once again.

 

[stewpac]

Nice to see a scrap in game one, give simmonds some 3rd line shifts put some pressure on their defense

 

[Schenn]

Simmonds for mayor

 

[IrishInOntario]

no one said he was terrible but a nothing assist and a goal that was all Marner on a 2 man advantage is hardly dominating the game

Nobody said he's dominating. I never made that argument. I said that he's the furthest thing from the problem. He would probably have 2 goals tonight had Mikheyev not intercepted the Reilly pass in the first period.

Hope he keeps it up for the rest of the season

Feeling a Willy hat trick tonight

Hopefully Matthews keeps his streak alive too

 

[keonsbitterness]

Tighten up the D and we can bring this home.

Matthews has controlled the play pretty much every shift he's been on the ice.

 

[saffronleaf]

Hoping that Thornton doesn't become Keefe's toy a la Marleau and Babcock.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Why did they blow the whistle??? Leafs had the f***ing puck

 

[Cotton]

Simmonds drew a penalty = good. It helped us score a goal and created momentum. Positive value play. Good job buddy.

Simmonds fought = 5 minute penalty, threw two punches and is the reason for our comeback.

Do you want to see the manager now?

 

[kk87]

Quiiiiiick whistle there....
