GDT: Habs @ Leafs - Oct 2, 7pm RDS. SN1 (preseason)

[FerrisRox]

we had an ahl lineup out there, and we were playing against an nhl lineup
?

Right.

The NHL line-up for the worst team in the entire league.

Would you be proud of being the valedictorian of summer school?

 

[LastWordArmy]

This.And Yesterday,they won with 3-4 vet against Ottawa.Not bad.We are fast but we need bigger forwards,

So what you are seeing is that NHL vets don't try that hard in pre-season, while the AHLers are skating their ***** off.

NHL vets won't ramp it up to even 80% til the last pre-season game.

Le Ptit David was good on the PP, no hates coming from me!

Gaston "En 17 ans, c'est le pire camp d'entraînement que j'ai vu"

WHC right before the camp is a disaster, should be reviewed.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Reading this thread, youd think we lost game 7 in the playoffs

 

[The Nightman]

Desharnais was dreadful tonight, my god was he ever awful

 

[mariolemieux66]

Even funnier when he gets an assist to tie the game.

Knee slapping funny.

DD is given all the opportunities possibly to succeed. Its going to work at some point, but 9 out of 10 times it fails.

 

[LastWordArmy]

Also its not like guys like Bozak, van riemsdyk, kadri, gardiner, reilly, etc... are going full out.

 

[Hoople]

Reason why nobody panicks over the performance of the TEAM but mostly about the individual performances of players.

People keep whining about poor Ghetto, poor Carr and so on not being able to play with better players and yet...a guy like Audette was visible and played extremely hard and good and yet...who was his teamates again?

I'm sure it's obvious to the coaches who are staying and who are going.

Lekhonen will get his chance. So will Carr. Ghetto hates contact and McCarron needs time playing Top line in the A.
Sergachev will get one season away.

 

[Doc McKenna]

The leafs with their full lineup could not win whitout OT against a team who only had 1 regular player on their top12 forwards.

WOW.

Carr isn't a regular

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Even funnier when he gets an assist to tie the game.

Knee slapping funny.

Lets sign him to an extension. Something im sure you would praise.

 

[Redux91]

Lol...condon might never play in the NHL again..

 

[FerrisRox]

Gardiner didn't even play.

Hockey is a game of failure.

I haven't seen one single post whining about how "poor Carr, poor Ghetto and so on not being able to play with better players".

Care to point out these posters that keep whining about that?

 

[LastWordArmy]

Gardiner didn't even play.

Fair.

Point still stands. Guys who are guaranteed spots in the lineup aren't working as hard as the guys trying to make the teams and impress coaches.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

The NHL line-up for the worst team in the entire league.

lol are you kidding me? An nhl lineup is still an nhl lineup, the ahl lineup that we had didnt even make the playoffs.
Leafs had jvr, matthews, marner, nylander, kadri, rielly, etc. in their team, tell me who comes close to their talent in the team we iced??

 

[Hoople]

Lets sign him to an extension. Something im sure you would praise.

No. I'm ready to trade him.

The angst when he scores is funny as hell.

 

[ChesterNimitz]

Lehkonen was out there.

Nothing I witnessed tonight alters my original assessment of Lehkonen: he will never be more than fringe NHLer. He's too slow; too small; too soft.

 

[Hoople]

I understand that it was a little harder for Sergachev from the start of the 2nd but still, this is pre-season. What else do you need to know about Barbario that you put him out there during OT instead in Serge. ****ing stupid ass coaching is back. I hope Muller takes over quickly.

OT Preseason

About as meaningful and useful as teats on a male hog.

 

[The Nightman]

No. I'm ready to trade him.

The angst when he scores is funny as hell.

Not as funny as your apologizing for him after yet another terrible performance.

 

[sharks9]

Romaniuk was sickening to listen to.

Agreed, the Matthews love is ridiculous and it'll be all about him every game this season whether he does anything or not.

Honestly, if you think it's some kind of "moral victory' to get to overtime against the worst team in the league with an "AHL roster" by all means, do your thing.

But don't expect to have a lot of people agree with you.

That was half of the last place team in the NHL with a back up goalie and a minor leaguer.

 

[Doc McKenna]

Therrien will Therrien.

The Confidence Crusher strikes again.

Unlike sportsnet, no, no I do not. He is oh so close but I feel MT will not want him on the team at 18 and MB won't want to lose his 1 year of his contract while we sit who at X million dollars. Emelin, Markov, or Beau? Pateryn may not be amazing but he is what we need during this transition year. Esp with barbs, and redmond was signed for 2 years.

Called it earlier in the thread.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

its not as if hudon, carr, scherbak, dd, etc were working hard either...
An nhler playing at 50% should still be way better than an ahler
