Hatty!!

 

[trellaine201]

Nice body check lol. I’ve seen so much less get called. Too funny.

 

[robertmac43]

No lead is ever safe, I feel nervous and then we give up a pen...

 

[Clark4Ever]

Sloppy finish, but a much needed 3 points. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, a win over Montreal always feels damn good.

Akinola is putting himself on the map in this tournament.

 

[Morbo]

That first pen was BS. he got the ball.

 

[TMLeafer]

Cimian is really wearing on me.

 

[Puckstuff]

Akinola looking like a stud. 5 goals in 2 games. So refreshing to have a capable back up striker to Altidore and maybe something more

 

[al secord]

Got the win. Terrible defending from both teams. Toronto needs to put up 3 or 4 a game to win with this group.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

If your best defenseman tweaks his hamstring, well dems da breaks, as you would say. You don't leave him out there to tear it.

So so true ... dems da breaks i guess

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Piazza and Poz such skill and creativity. Joy to watch them. Akinola wow he came out of nowhere (he may be better than Jose right now). Our offense is back gents. We have IT.

On defense our stud Omar looks like he is limping around out there. He can't keep up in da heat. And Mavinga has athletics and power and skill but wow is he brain dead sometimes. Ciman what is he even doing on da filed. He looks like he should be playing at a lower level. Folks we are in trouble on backend. Can't be a sieve to score on like this every game. Like watching our Leafs sometimes. So much offense and so little defense. Da formula is hard to win with i think.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Yeah, Piatti had some beautiful touches last night, he can strike from distance, and he still has enough pace to trouble defenders.

If he can stay healthy, he looks like a great DP signing.

 

[robertmac43]

Yeah, solid CB. Goes into challenges with too much haste in our box.

 

[robertmac43]

Been watching this on repeat, what poise from the 20 y/o.

 

[al secord]

He missed two sitters in the first game (looked like nerves) or he'd have 7 in 2 games.

 

[LeafChief]

Is a draw our desired result for DC v NE?

yeah and he has the best CAM playing in North America feeding him some amazing scoring opportunities

 

[wingman75]

I would say it was, and nice to see we got it. Despite throwing away the first game, we are in full control of our final placing now.

 

[trellaine201]

We need a tie or win to guarantee advancing?

 

[robertmac43]

Here's to hoping Ayo continues his amazing form!

 

[ACC1224]

Is Altidore still not available?

 

[robertmac43]

Is Altidore still not available?

He is on the bench. Doesn't really matter if he is out right now or not anyways. Akinola is in insane from and we should just ride that wave!

More good players available the better, IMO. Any reason why he’s not coming in off the bench?

Well yes, obviously you want as many good players on your bench. But when a kids in the form of Akinola, you keep his minutes up. Plus Altidore may be carrying a slight knock.

Ok thanks

Tajon Buchanon has been alright thus far.
