GDT: Season Opener Game 1: Toronto Maple Leafs vs Montreal Canadiens 10/9/24 7:00pm EST: SN, TVAS

[The Gr8 Dane]

Stolarz instead of Holl does nothing for us , Stolarz is like 7"3 we've seen this movie before

 

[Habs]

f*** I forgot about the torch ceremony lol. I think this ritual started the downfall of the franchise, they should scrap it.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

MSL's shelf life starts tonight. There has been no criticism during the past 3 years during the "rebuild". While the rebuild isn't over it is time for this team to start showing something tangible.
Based on the line up tonight this team appears bottom 8 in the league.
One thing I can predict is that I am probably not going to watch...I have no interest in this team. I am just tired of the mediocrity.

Enjoy the game!

I'm sorry to hear that Tyson , understandable , If special teams are a joke again I think many will lose hope early

 

[Monsieur Miz]

The opening ceremony better be good this year. Last one was an embarrassment.

I do hate those giant goalies. It’s weird that there’s so many of them now.

If they win, you do realize it was because you didn’t watch, right?

If?

I will take one for you guys!

They changed it now we torch the guy with the worst +/-

The 1st victim will be Gallagher (-24)

It sucks because now that I am retired and living the laid back life all I would enjoy is a competitive Habs team. I did sign up for the AHL subscription to watch Laval, maybe I will have a good team to watch!

Wasn't MIke Matheson like -60?

Gotta put pucks in their feet and open them up and bang in rebounds.
Perimeter teams won't do well particularly ones with a horrible shooting %.
I'm sure Lane can get pucks on the net but can we get bodies in there when it counts is the question.

MSL was hired February 9th 2022. The 2021-22 season was more than half over so i would not count that season as a season head coached by MSL. So basically he has been here for two complete seasons (2022-23, 2023-24) not three. I think you should give a GM 5 complete years before doing a final evaluation and a coach 3 complete years.

That has really been their biggest problem against Big goalies over the years. Very few tip ins and only Gallagher digging at the goal (which usually resulted in a disallowed goal anyway). A net front presence would be nice.

And Suzuki talks about the current team being 2.5 year old.
It's still a toddler.

I’m trying to remember. Was that the one where the players introduced themselves? Talk about a drop in building excitement. That one was pretty bad too. Although still not as boring as the Leafs.

Let the wetting begin SN

Let’s hope he takes season off here too!

Never gets old

God i loved Kovalev. He was treated unfairly by the media and some fans imo. You don't finish a season with 84 points by playing one game every 5 games. He was almost a ppg player for us in playoffs (31 points in 33 games) too and you're not a ppg player in playoffs by floating around it's just not possible.

I think the argument is that it IS possible for Kovalev and that's how good fans thought he was when he actually tried

I heard Geoff is bringing Celine Dion back to sing her hit from Titanic

I know but it's a ridiculous assessment. I loved the guy but he was a flawed player. He was not a generationally skilled player. Maybve he could have done a bit better in his career and he took some day offs for sure but it was grossly exagerated. I'd say he was putting more effort ont he ice than let's say for example Josh Anderson or Joel Armia.
