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

[MXD]

I don't terribly like Slafkovsky's game tonight

 

[Kennerback]

OK. That was a tougher period.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

The PP still stinks and they bleed shots

Lots has changed

 

[waitin425]

Snoozefest that period. Can't keep playing with fire. We will get burnt.

 

[SlafySZN]

 

[domiwroze]

Leafs were lucky that Stolarz was great period 1, now we're lucky that Monty is hot period 2.

Let's see about period 3

 

[Tyson]

I know @Tyson would have said this:

% sir

 

[xX SEYF Xx]

Phew 2nd period is over without lots of damage

 

[Redux91]

Hey
It's 1-0 after 2
I like it
It'll get better

Armia I've grown to not despise as much anymore, but he's not a 2nd liner, he's a dream 3rd liner
We'll, sigh, have to try someone else lol

 

[waitin425]

Time for another cold one???

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Leafs were lucky that Stolarz was great period 1, now we're lucky that Monty is hot period 2.

Let's see about period 3

Yeah, it's one period a piece so far. Let's win the third and the game.

 

[the]

Just give me goals during the 3rd period please.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Gonna be a loss unless we step up in the 3rd

 

[HabSgt]

Paul Atreides is Bob Dillon now?

 

[MXD]

Hey my fellow Quebecois parents outthere, I love you but enough with the two names, already. Just pick one. It could be the name of your cat for all I care.

Barre-Boulet may have been his dad's name. With his mom's being Tremblay-Goyette

Imagine that. Alexandre Barré-Boulet Tremblay-Goyette.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Leafs were lucky that Stolarz was great period 1, now we're lucky that Monty is hot period 2.

Let's see about period 3

Both goalies collapse and the game ends 9-8

 

[CanadienShark]

Can we just refuse to take the PP? My goodness it is awful. Get Hutson on there to replace Matheson.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Exactly my first thought, Jesus Christ this guy man

It really puzzles me with him being an excellent skater.

He doesn't know how to make plays under pressure. I think coaches give him tools and everything, but it's all mental. He's not able to keep composure.

 

[Kimota]

This. Enough with the François-Alexandre Légitimus Pominville

Blame Lise Payette. When she was working for the PQ in the 70s, she passed that freaking law of the two last names. I'm like alright if the lady of the couple want her name there, that's fine but then just her name. Or switch between the dad and mom which of your children are gonna have your name.

Also my freaking Doctor has two first names and his last name is a first name! I NEVER remember his name. So I call him "bro".

 

[Canadienna]

I'm not surprised by anyone or anything so far.

Good players look good. Bad ones bad.

 

[Habs10Habs]

I wasn't really entertained by the 2nd period.

 

[Mrb1p]

Boring period tbh

 

[Andy]

Woof that period

 

[Hostile Offer]

3 PPs including an almost full 5 on 3 yet the Leafs outshot us 13-7 in that period, that's kinda brutal. Really though the defense looks adequate so far, Monty is having a solid game but he hasn't needed to be otherworldly.

I guess there will always be haters but considering ABB made plays that generated something like 5 scoring chances so far you have to be a bit dishonest to hate his game tonight.
