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

[Lafleurs Guy]

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.

Still very young.

Leafs played better. They took a lot of shots from outside, though. Montreal is doing a good job of boxing out & Leafs are staying on the perimeter.

We'll see some pk time in the 3rd for sure. We needed a goal on some of those PPs.

Leafs are interfering & picking a lot. Not a surprise considering who their coach is.

 

[domiwroze]

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

I'd give ABB a look, I like his vision and crisp passes.

 

[Mrb1p]

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

Good players look good. Bad ones bad.

Where does Matheson fall in this

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Time for another cold one???

what u drinking my man

 

[HabSgt]

His cap hit?

One hundred billion dollars

Just pay him in KFC

 

[Riddick412]

3rd will likely be tons of laffs PP. Habs missed their chances.

 

[Kennerback]

Let’s make the Leafs pay for squandering their chances in the 2nd period.

 

[Habs]

Don't worry, next time it will be Gally.

Just showing off our newest wicked FA for the season ticket holders I guess?

Maybe Kapanen?

 

[Kimota]

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

Imagine that. Alexandre Barré-Boulet Tremblay-Goyette.

I fear for this generation 50 years from now with the 10 names.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

Hutson/Matheson switch on powerplay could make all the difference

Matheson would suddenly go blind in one eye and never pass it to Lane

 

[domiwroze]

Time for another cold one???

1/4 oz of Triple Sec, 1/2 of Amaretto, 2oz of Rhum, fill the rest with Lemonade and a cherry.

Enjoy, thank me later.

 

[red devil]

Habs were constantly horrible in 2nd periods last year and that trend continued in the 1st game this year

what u drinking my man

Michelob Ultra tonight. Tasty....and low on calories.

 

[Andrei79]

We are very lucky this isn't 3-1 Leafs

They were lucky it wasn't 3-0 after the first.

 

[CharleyHorse]

Great first period. We can't keep leaving Monty out to dry though....it's gonna bite us.

I guess more practice for the defensive game is indicated

 

[EveryDay]

3rd will likely be tons of laffs PP. Habs missed their chances.

Yeah a MTL meltdown is really possible or a loss in ot like we've seen so many times against the Leafs.

 

[HabSgt]

I was waiting to order for 5 minutes and then this guy walks into the store and buts right in front of me so I said "hey bud back of the line" and this 5'2" tough guy stands on his tip toes to get in my face and ask me to step outside if I don't like it.
Just laughed in his face and said I'm not fighting you over a pizza.

Then on the way back to my truck he tries to apologize and say how hard of a day at work he had and his wife just left him. I said hmm wonder why and got in my truck and left.

Dick head

Nice

You know he's at home crying into his own pizza.

 

[SlafySZN]

I don't terribly like Slafkovsky's game tonight

See, i personally like his game. There’s little things that’s improved compared to last season, he’s carrying the puck more and holds to it instead of dumping the puck. Suzuki is more quiet tonight.

 

[Rapala]

Poor PP equals momentum swing.
I'm sorry Marty but 5v3 Hutson HAS to be out there even if you have to sacrifice a forward.
Suzuki is playing slow give him a rest. The second wave moved the puck much quicker.

We were terrible last year in the second period as well I think. The long change is hard on the Habs. Glad to be past it with a lead.
I thought d zone play was suspect though. Lotta scrambling.

 

[Andrei79]

Some asshole tried fighting me at Dominos half hour ago when I went to go pick up a pizza for me and my wife

You shouldn't have cut in line man, you had it coming, was waiting an hour for my extra sausage pizza.

MSL said they were working a lot on the defense this preseason. I've actually noticed some positives.
