GDT: Season Opener | Leafs vs Habs 7pm EST | Winning For Rodion

[notdoneyet]

Our big guys didn’t get into many preseason games again this year
Last year it too a couple of weeks for them to hit stride
Hope it’s better this year

To quote user DarkKnight:

"Thoroughly Excited"

It will be nice if Reaves can beat up one of the Habs
Not asking for too much here

New season, new chances. But at the same time, I don't see how getting past the first round makes us a contender. Hell, we are still chasing a division win.

For me, if our core guys are as good as everyone says, then this team should be expected to win the Stanley Cup. If that’s not our expectation, then what the hell are we doing? The core 3 are all 26/27 years old. Many people were so adamant on keeping all of them together. I expect to win the Stanley Cup.

If we get shut out and don't get to find out the answer to this question tonight ...

Why do I have a feeling that Beiber tweet is a bit of reverse psychology.

Cliffs? For those of us who don't follow Beiber’s tweets

Honestly just score some goals
Last year it was a 3-2 buzzer beater loss
Year prior it was a 2-1 win

Can we go back to the days of scoring 4+ goals in the opener? Preferably letting in less than 3 as well.

What I’m trying to say is can we just stomp the Canadians 7-2?

He means to prevent fatigue, but yeah... Pretty weird. The Leafs don't have a busy schedule at all to start the season either.

GuY "Rest is a Weapon" Boucher is having an impact already

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

What an amazing top 6. Can't stop staring at it.

 

[crump]

Wifi does some off season workouts close to my home. He hasn’t been shy about letting everyone know he has this game circled. He has been taking boxing lessons all summer. Crazy thing is that he outweighs Reaves by 10 lbs I believe. Ding ding. Would look better in blue and white.

Never a bad day to beat the Habs. Opening night. Even better. GLG

McMann remains a Leaf!

 

[Schooner]

McMann remains a Leaf!

That's two guys now we all expected to be gone...did teams really hate Dubas all along?

 

[TMLeafer]

Beat up these guys real good for once!

 

[HockeyVirus]

Just put 5 bucks on Josh Anderson scoring a goal tonight. Easy money.

 

[Leafs87]

That’s gonna be a good tilt. Reeves is the best fighter we have had since Colton Orr.

Simmonds was a great pound for pound guy, but yes we have been missing a heavyweight guy for years.

Have Teams started claiming Pens this year, more so than last?

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Losing to crap teams like Montreal cost us a lot of points last year. If we want a shot at winning the division, we need to beat these types of teams almost every time.

No excuse to not be pumped up/ready to go for this one.

 

[VanW27]

That's two guys now we all expected to be gone...did teams really hate Dubas all along?

Teams aren't clamoring for 27 year old forwards with a 1 point in their 10 career games. He was very unlikely to be claimed.

 

[Squiffy]

That’s gonna be a good tilt. Reeves is the best fighter we have had since Colton Orr.

Orr was ridiculous. Absolute knockout power, just a puncher.

 

[The Masters]

no more tik tok helmets

 

[JSn0w93]

Minten is amongst the most impressive young men this organization has ever had. If he can hold down the season as our 3C it would be extremely impressive for a 19 year old drafted in the 2nd round a year ago.

 

[Brown Dog]

We are about to crest the first big hill of the roller-coaster, Leaf Nation! Throw your hands up and enjoy the ride!

 

[BrannigansLaw]

Nothing would be sweeter than seeing Minten and Knies light up Slafkovsky and the rest of the Habs tonight.

And it would be even better if Anderson doesn’t get a goal.

 

[EXTRAS]

Benoit re-called. Wonder if he steps in tonight.

 

[peconcan]

Be nice to start the year off with a big win and see Reavo beat the shit out of Xhekaj
