[crump]

Rotating bottom liners again? looks like it.

Hutcheson's first start.

Is Domi's face recovered yet, does it hurt? Its killing me.



More of this tonight please...Make Ray Ferraro moan again.

I've watched that video about 5 times now. That is such an unreal shot. He's adding in that one timer now... he's getting harder to read... he could be the next best goal scorer to Ovie if he can continue this and be injury free.

It seems Leafs and Habs games are always pretty close regardless of what team should win. Should be fun tonight. Hopefully Matthew's can pot a couple more. He always seems to do pretty well against Price.

Go Leafs Go

Also Spezza should of been kept in tonight.

 

[willmma]

Go leafs go.

Let's make it 3 wins


Yes, that Matthews shot was so fast I still can't see it go in. So fast Columbus could have challenged it.

 

[Pi]

Should be a win. It's a back to back but it's the start of the season and the Leafs have so much more talent than the Habs.

Price would have to play out of his mind or Hutchinson would have to play like Martin Jones for us to lose this.

 

[supermann_98]

This will be Carey Price in a couple years after Matthews continues to torment him

Rotating bottom line. Babs has to look like he is doing more than he is. Over coaching.

 

[ToneDog]

PP looks good with AM and MM on their off wings. Too bad they were too stubborn to try it last year until it was to late.

 

[PromisedLand]

All I wanna say regarding tonight for now is “f*** the habs”

Beat those arrogant pieces of crap; bury them

Is the lineup available? I think I missed it.

 

[BertCorbeau]

What I've liked about the new PP setup is that putting Marner/Matthews on their off wings had allowed for a lot one-time/quick shots .. Marner's goal last night and Matthews goal against the Sens are great examples.

The Leafs need to learn that they don't need to pass it 5 times for a perfect tap in goal. Just a quick back and forth can open up enough space for a goal.

This. Did anyone else notice how Max tried to throw shade at the Leafs with a 1967 quote at the Biosteel Camp last month, but was too stupid to realize that he also indirectly dissed his Dad?...

Lol, what an idiot.

Rotating bottom line. Babs has to look like he is doing more than he is. Over coaching.

Hes trying to figure out who the best bottom line is based on real games.

For me keep Moore, Goat, Timoshov and Shore. Also Holl over Marincin.

Max just has a serious case of little man syndrome and feels the need to pander to Hab fans at any opportunity. That's fine but him and his dad can stick with Montreal once Max is done with the Habs. Don't try crawling back once your old and washed up.

He grew up a Leaf fan, hes just pandering to his fans. I wouldn't expect otherwise.

Good call.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Considering he kept guys like Holl stapled in the press box for long stretches, it's nice to see that Babs' is rotating his depth players in .. Hopefully he keeps it up so that these guys can get into a groove.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I'm nervous about this one because. hutch is in.

Im going to the game with a few buddies. We are gonna have our pants around out ankles for the warm up. (with florescent green boxers on)

I would just rotate them all year until a guy gets on a hot streak. Never made sense to sit your extra guys for 40 games in a row and then expect them to be ready.

Also makes these guys hungrier and more engaged when it comes to fighting for ice time.

Not getting guys in regularly = bad coaching
Rotating guys in and out = over coaching

What's the right thing to do then ?

Leafs may win this one in a blow out.

Agreed. That's why I think Holl never got a fair shake. Hard to get your legs going when you sit for so long without game action. While I don't know if he can be a regular, I'm sure he can be serviceable if he gets regular ice time now and then.

Noticed that Holl was used on the PK too last night - clearly trying to see if he can handle it over Marincin.

I find it funny that all of habs fans and their franchise have is a medicore player like max to talk about and rely on the peak that has since then passed both weber and price

habs aint no match for Matthews, Marner, Nylander, JT, Rielly, Muzz, Barrie

time to shove the "French" onion soup right down their throat Mikheyev style

I dont think not getting guys in regularly is bad coaching. Happens all the time.

Lots of coaches go with the "never change a winning line up" philosophy.

Agree to disagree on this one......but Babcock is the king of over coaching.

Same. Hopefully our stars continue to step up.
