GDT: Leafs v Habs II

[IrishInOntario]

Sigh... Matthews with another failed opportunity.

 

[Dion TheFluff]

Nylander is awesome!

 

[MoreMogilny]

lol atta boy Vesey

Now say something bad about Mikheyev

 

[HolyCrap]

My shattered nerves.

 

[hotpaws]

Who just had a nice goal

yup , went end to end and shredded the Has D

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Great block Barabanov

 

[keonsbitterness]

It's amazing Matty hasn't scored tonight considering how he's played.

Yeah, he deserves to pot one.

 

[7even]

Has the emergence of William Nylander made William Nylander expendable? My column:

 

[Leafsfan74]

He's not even trying his best. I've seen similarly aged players in NHL alumni classics play harder.

Its game one. New team, added pressure. He has never been swift of foot either, its why that top line will be mixed up alot. At least, that's my prediction.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

Simmonds is skating better than he did last season. May have a little more in the tank than I thought

 

[Burnie97]

Cmon boys... nice play on the block

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Nice assist by the ref. Good game.

 

[Maplebeasts]

Barabanov with a gutsy block there. That's how you stay in the line-up.

 

[striker3]

This third line is absolutely awful.

Almost every time they’re on the ice I feel like we’re pinned in our end for way too long

 

[A1LeafNation]

Nice job Barbarian!

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Stupid pass attempt Thornton

 

[keonsbitterness]

Good job by Tavares breaking up their cycle.

 

[hotpaws]

This third line is absolutely awful.

we basically have 4 forwards and a whole lot of meh up front

 

[Menzinger]

Nylander on pace for 168 points in a shortened season. The absolute madman

 

[shaner82]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Matthews split the D

He's a lot lighter and faster this year. Lost 15 lbs but apparently maintained his strength and improved his agility and conditioning

 

[Chief Berube]

This third line is absolutely awful.

Missing a player that will soon be on that line! I would actually switch someone from another line once that player is in to piece it all together.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Matthews split the D

He worked his ass off to lose weight and improve his skating. He should do that a lot this year

 

[Atomos2]

Thornton is a pylon

 

[CAVETEETH]

Frustrating to see the puck bouncing so much tonight. I always figured the ice quality was poor due to sharing the rink with the Raptors and concerts/other events.

 

[The Podium]

I don’t hate the 4th line but the 3rd looks awful... yuck
