Pre-Game Talk: Leafs vs Sens-Split Squad- 1 PM and 7 PM

[Macallan18]

So the shot clock broken or they don’t want to embarrass the send?

 

[HockeyVirus]

Simmer and ZAR are running people over.

Game 1 of pre-season and you can tell there is serious competition internally in this camp. Pace doesn't feel like game 1

 

[Kyle089]

Very impressed with Minten so far in this game. Looks very responsible for an 18 year old, has been physical, strong along the boards and winning faceoffs. Willy, Malgin, Simmonds and ZAR have also impressed me so far.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Not sure why Sanderson is being talked up as the player of the game by these commentators. He's been poor at best

 

[zeke]

why no penalty shot?

 

[keonsbitterness]

Hook might have saved them a goal.

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Holmberg looks like he could develop into a nice depth option. He’s been good

Sensnet

 

[notbias]

Holmberg is so underrated as a prospect

 

[LeafSteel]

Who was on that 2 on 1 that Sanderson broke up?

 

[LeafChief]

Sanderson struggling to keep up with the beast that is Denis Malgin.

I like how theyre talking up Hamonic like he isn't a #7 option on most teams

 

[ACC1224]

Won’t the Leafs have to outbid others to sign ZAR?

 

[Nylander88]

I hope Sanderson makes their team. Seems like a plug from where I'm sitting haha

 

[fahad203]

Who was on that 2 on 1 that Sanderson broke up?

Minten

 

[Leaf Fans]

Who was on that 2 on 1 that Sanderson broke up?

Mintin and Steves

 

[cyris]

I don’t think Malgin is an NHL player but he has looked like one so far in this game. I’d be happy to have him prove me wrong.

Most modern sports broadcasting does that -- focus on certain players and talk them up.

 

[notbias]

We have too many forward options..... I love it

 

[SprDaVE]

Kral is ok but not sure he should be anywhere near a NHL level power play.

 

[Leaf Fans]

Won’t the Leafs have to outbid others to sign ZAR?

He says that he is loyal and puts theLeafs at the head of the pack. But technically yes, he is essentially a UFA.

I remember Nick Ritchie last year ...... Sportsnet didn't let me forget for awhile
It was Tim Stutzle for Sens last year.

 

[keonsbitterness]

Won’t the Leafs have to outbid others to sign ZAR?

Says he wants to be here, so probably not.

to be fair, most times commentators will big up exciting 20yr old kids.

except when they're leafs, of course, and then they're on the verge of busting if they don't dominate preseason.

Sanderson struggling to keep up with the beast that is Denis Malgin.

Malgin can't be reasoned with, he can't be bargained with. Malgin won't stop until he has put the puck in the net
