GDT: Leafs vs Habs pre-season game #4

[Burnie97]

Glad they're not risking injuries too much with the main guys.

They mostly just want to evaluate certain players.

They'll play 1 or 2 with the main squad later.

That was a pretty Meh period but it's to be expected with these lineups.

Hopefully robertson lights one tonight

He has to make the team and be given a legit chance as a offensively skilled forward

Way to much potential and talent. He needs to avoid an injury, utilize his shot

Ill take a lazy and defensive guy who lights the lamp to 20 goals vs a guy who tries and hits but is brittle and ends up out half the year.

Robertson and Knies can replace + add to Nylander if he walks down a year.

Ideally we have all 3 + Matthews + Marner + JT (at 5-6M) + Cowan+Minten

If our young prospects can have a huge developmental year we can have 4 very cheap contributers at forward next year *extremely unlikely that all 4 of them play but I can dream

Hopefully robertson lights one tonight

It's legal but I prefer he does it after the game

Liljegren is a monster out there, looking good on offense, defending on the rush, laying the body, nicely timed pinches.

Early still but best game so far forsure.

Man Pasta is one guy I'd love to have on my team. Even being a Bruin... he's just a beauty player.

Finally we get to face the crown jewel of the NHL

When?

Sammy’s mask is a work of art. Love the design.

Not sure I’d want any association with ToskaLOL’s time here though. Still remember that goal from the opposing goal line. Those were the days alright…

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Liljegren with terrible tunnel vision there.

 

[7even]

Alright I'm officially a Knies truther

 

[SprDaVE]

Lafferty is the king of skating with the puck to the corner and losing it.

 

[Burnie97]

If Timmins was in tonight he would of scored 2 times on that powerplay.

 

[SprDaVE]

Sova is pretty solid for an 19 year old. I really think they'll give him an ELC after the game. A lot to like about his game.

 

[Aashir]

Liljegren with terrible tunnel vision there.

He’s gotta pass that over to Robertson

He is in and was playing on the PP

 

[Burnie97]

He is in and was playing on the PP

Yeah... haven't noticed

 

[SprDaVE]

He is in the game.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Alright I'm officially a Knies truther

One thing that’s impressed me about him so far is his ability to protect the puck in all situations. He always seems to find a way to move the puck out in a smart/safe way. We definitely have a player here.

 

[Burnie97]

He is in the game.

Yup... sorry sarcasm.

After last night him not having a point yet is brutal...

 

[Aashir]

Knies usage of his body is so much better than I thought

Any time he can create separation with a little hit, he does

As many have been saying... great hands too. He's a big guy already. I think he'll be a great winger in the top 9 or 6.

 

[Lightsol]

I bet he scores on the first shot cuz I swear he always does

I'd be surprised if there were another player in the NHL who cherrypicks at the opposing D-line as much as Anderson does. Only other player I can think of that does that shit a lot is Duclair.

 

[HockeyVirus]

Knies!

 

[thinkblue]

Knies, what a shot

Great play by Minten

 

[SprDaVE]

That was all Minten to get that puck

 

[Aashir]

Knies generates more short handed than even strength lol

Also gotta give credit to minten there, great interception
