GDT: Montreal Canadiens @ Toronto Maple Leafs -- 7pm SN -- The season opener!

[fahad203]

Would like to see Jason with decent players. Players who can skate so he doesn't have to

I am not sure what I am supposd to see in Amadio. Like is he a good skater? grinder?

 

[diehardleafsfan9878]

Maybe wait few more games when we play actual team with skills before making that statement?

It was in reference to last year and how the leafs pk was ranked 1st overall when Campbell was in net.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

who the hell is on our 4th line? Borrowing Harry Potters invisible cloak

 

[keonsbitterness]

One criticism I'll offer: I worry about Sandin's defensive instincts.

But it's only one game.

 

[Burnie97]

Nylanders been good tonight. He's been aggressive to and going into the corners taking hits. One of the better guys out there this game.

 

[2 Slick]

What are the odds Montreal gets another powerplay before it's over?

 

[Leaffan1991]

I wouldn't mind playing Semeyonov on the fourth line instead of Amadio

 

[The Big Swede13]

At least we don’t have to listen to whining about how the refs helped us tonight.

Go look at the main boards in the first few pages

 

[Racer88]

And the Rocket Winner and Hart Trophy nominee......oh wait, that's us.

My point is we are not the only ones missing a player and if we fall to this level every time Matthews is out what does that say about the rest of the team

 

[Aashir Mallik]

If we so desperately need Matthews why are we paying Marner and Tavares 11 million each

Aren’t we winning?
Doesn’t Marner have an assist?

winning 2-1 or 5-1 doesn’t change anything. Us leafs fans should know that more than anyone considering last year we scored more total goals then Montreal and even blew them out compared to their 1 goal wins.
One team went cup final, one went out in round 1

But it's only one game.

Shots have been 11-4 for the Leafs with Sandin on the ice. He's a huge net positive

 

[Gabriel426]

I think we miss Soup’s speed.

Willie is a beast today

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Marner is getting chances

 

[hamzarocks]

Dude we are winning despite the Habs having 4 mins more PP time

The Habs haven't been good since halfway through the 1st and only got a few decent chances on the recent PPs

Leafs have been the better team for me by a margin around 65-35 or 70-30

 

[Alamo Leafer]

FFFFFFF how did that nit go in

 

[Racer88]

You should try the whole watching the game thing.. .

I have watched every minute of it

 

[IPS]

Go look at the main boards in the first few pages

Actually don’t. You might get cancer from reading it.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Marner lack of finish continues

 

[Community]

One criticism I'll offer: I worry about Sandin's defensive instincts.

But it's only one game.

I think he's going to be a great player, but I'd love if he got .5 - 1yr in the AHL where he was told to focus on his defensive game. Would be great if he could really focus on that and get big minutes.

 

[hamzarocks]

If Nylander ends up with fewer than 40 goals and 85 points I'll be shocked. He's the best skater on the ice by a mile

This is only Montreal...

He won't be able to dominate like that against good nhl teams

30 goals and 70 points should be the expectation. 85 points is very high and unfair

 

[fahad203]

Someone really has to put Gally down. He can't take runs like that at Muzzin

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Go look at the main boards in the first few pages

They are a predictable bunch.

 

[Duffman955]

Amadio guy sucks

Was ge good in camp? Can't imagine Gabriel being any worse

 

[socko]

Nylanders been good tonight. He's been aggressive to and going into the corners taking hits. One of the better guys out there this game.

Leafs 3 stars are easy: Engvall, Nylander, Campbell.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

There are some guys here who wanted him in the line up believe it or not
