[Tuggy]

7-0 Maple Leafs
Thornton with a 3G-2A night to get the first star

I kind of expect the Leafs to win tonight and I fully expect their fans to declare themselves the greatest.

They haven't won a playoff series in forever, yet they already are doing that.

 

[Frenchy]

I'm really excited for the upcoming season, with all the new players onboard and with our young guns a year older. Should be fun to watch

 

[OldCraig71]

I am really looking forward to this, it feels like it has been forever since we had hockey. Josh Anderson and Alexander Romanov I am most excited to see you! Give er boys!

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

[FrankMTL]

I really hope one of our players lays out a huge hit right away to dictate the tempo.

TVA SPORTS?

Bad way to start a season not gonna lie
*squeezing balls* IL LANCE DU COIN DLA BANDE OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Also of course they keep that Danault line. Better give the 4th liner to KK

Or QUEL ARRREEEEEEET de Carey Price (Receive a shoot dans le plastrons)

 

[Sterling Archer]

It's finally GAME DAY, BABAY!!!!!!!!!

Simply; enjoy the game guys.

I think this is the start of a good to great 3-4 seasons, I’m full of hope.

Weber 3 shots.

Danault 55% on the dot.
Anderson 3 credited body checks
Edmundson 2 credited body checks
Price 34 shots against
Byron 2 minutes of shorthanded time
Chairot 4 credited blocked shots
Toffoli 1 goal
Romanov 2 credit hits and 2 credited block.
Suzuki 50% on the dot.
Kotkaniemi 3 credit hits and fell down for no reason twice
Evans 53% on the dot
Lehkonen ruins 2 great scoring opportunities by shooting wide, or right into the chest of Andersen
Kulak 2 credited blocked shots
Petry 2 credited shore, 2 credited blocks, 2 credited hits and 1 point

I want to see him score 4 (preferably not against us) I believe he promised to do some streaking if he ever has a 4 goal game

 

[Deebs]

Don't take any penalties. I firmly believe our team will need about two-three weeks to be fully up to speed and begin playing our style of game consistently.

4 lines rolling, 40 seconds at a time.....Let's Go!!!

 

[Phil Parent]

Have a good day at work guys! Under 10 hours away!

I'll be stopping by a store on the way back home, get me some chips, some dip, some beef jerky and I'll be here with everybody for pre-game.

This season will be very special. The answer to a what-if, what if there was a Canadian league? I'll catch every game of the division on weekends. Plus, our team is at the best its been since we had Koivu, Kovalev, Markov & Hamrlik.

Will be a good one!

Leafs have the matchups tonight, let's see...

Matthews line - sent against Suzuki's line, and the odd shift to exploit Evans' line
Tavares line - sent against Danault's line, and the odd shift against Kotkaniemi's line
Kerfoot's line - sent against Kotkaniemi's line, and the odd shift against Evans' line
Spezza's line - minimal ice time, sent against KK/Evans' line

I am more worried about them exploiting Suzuki's line (Drouin had disastrous defensive impact, Anderson is likely just average) than them exploiting our 4th line, tbh.

Valid concern. Have a little faith in Andy though, he's played PK before and will be very Matthews-aware tonight, in terms of helping out Suzuki.

What kind of chips and what type of dip? I may go the same route.

 

[waffledave]

I think the Habs are the better team, and I think they'll win. Not sure what kind of game I am expecting. I have a feeling that most of the games this year are going to be really physical, at least in our division. I don't think the Leafs are built for this kind of game.

Lay's wavy original with Philly Dill Pickle dip.

Ferda!

Finally hockey is back!!!!

Go Habs Go!!

Play style will fall on the refs. They let 'em play, Leafs are in tough. Otherwise, it could be the Grand Festival of Power Plays out there.... and not in our favor.

 

[Mudz]

I've been trying to find a clip but I'm starting to think I might have hallucinated it.

It was Petry laying down a hit on Leafs player, and Matthews turning in front of him.

Anyone recalls that?
