It was not instantaneous which is what I was referring to.
WeThreeKings
Demidov is a HAB
It wasn't going to be instantaneous due to the powerplay personnel on the ice.
That wasn't the group that was going to do anything. The players in the line-up that can do anything, took the number and went after him the next time he touched the ice.
So when Greig deposited the puck in the Leafs net it was Morgan Reilly who went at him hard.
Mike Matheson can't do that and show some gumption?
I'm not saying drop the gloves but show some backbone at the very least.
Le Barron de HF
Justin make me proud
That was an incredibly stupid play by Reilly. Why on earth would we want Matheson to play stupid?

I mean, crosschecking someone in the face yeah, but didn't seem like that was the intended target, but if someone is going to do that I hope someone goes after him.
If a hab does that I'm betting someone is going after him.
Obviously it's different if you take a slap shot from far out, but 10 feet from the net... yeah.
It's like asking why players get upset when someone shoots after the whistle, or puts the puck on the net after a whistle.
Yeah ask his tean mates if they thought it was STUPID.

Who's UFA next summer that fits the gritty, in your face, top 9 forward description that we could overpay to come play in MTL?

Sam Bennett
More realistically…. Tanner Jeannot

They are not demoting Struble, nor waiving Barron. Anyone they pick up must stay with the big club. They won't do that unless Xhekaj is being sent down and Mailloux/Engstrom are not good enough for the team yet.
The net risks injury?

Maybe. Guys like Jeannot sometimes get a team to overpay and move on.
Bennett’s a core piece. Not going anywhere.
At some point they should add a player who plays with an edge. When you look at some players who could eventually be the bottom 6 wingers, it’s:
Newhook, Heineman, Roy, Mesar…. Not enough grit, even if you plug Tuch or Xhekaj on the 4th like.
Olivier vs Dvorak and Pezzetta maybe?
Colombus seems to have a few RWs, but a rather shallower C/LW pool, might be interesting for them?
Dvorak retained at 50% (or 75%, if the Habs intend to keep Savard and retain salary in the initial trade for a 3rd or 4th) could be traded at TDL 2025 to extract further asset(s).

Bennet would be the more skilled guy who plays in your face hockey.
Jeannot is a good option. Mathieu Olivier is also a UFA this summer.

I love Bennett but i can't see him signing for less than 7M$ per with Florida. Imagine what it would cost for us to sign him.
Would take a flyer on Jeannot if not to pricey.

Next years UFA are to far away to worry about.
we all know that most of the big names get resigned or traded, no need to get excited now

And Habs have options in their pipelines. I'm expecting Tuch to get games this season and make the team next year. He's not going to be Sam Bennett, but he's going to be better than the cream puff/glass bodies on the bottom 6 the team currently has.
Anyone amused themselves to count how many games Evans, Dvorak, Gallagher and Anderson missed the last 3 seasons?
Meh. Losing control is not a sign of strength, quite the opposite.
Lack of mental toughness has been a hallmark of the Leafs underwhelming performances throughout Reilly's tenure there.
Pre-season is different than regular season is different than post season. Failure to ramp up composure as the stakes get higher is a flaw, not a strength
Those who get excellence certainly would, himself included.
The best are the first to acknowledge when they let their emotions get in the way. That it happens is understandable, it's called being human. But I think you confuse fan takes with the mindset of the best elite performers.
I understand how hockey works.
Morgan Reilly committed a suspendable act, and got suspended.
I also understand why shooting at a goalie after the whistle is both against 'the code' and even sometimes called for unsportsmanlike conduct.
On the other hand, having the opponent score into your empty net to drive a FIGURATIVE nail in your coffin does not cause actual danger to anything except the loser's feelings.
