Leafs 2 - 1 Habs

[Yozzy]

Emelin was great.

 

[gusfring]

Jagr has two goals tonight so far. Still sour Habs weren't interested.

Boring game.

C'mon we have an 18 year old in that spot!!!

-
Our first line was awful. Fix that.
Cole has no motivation(Yipee...)
Gorges has been out of sync.
Bouillon is the new Darche.
P.K. is on his couch eating chips.
Armdog has no leg.
Chuck aint no Lemieux...
System doesnt work so far
Defense is still sofffff
All the rest have been average our below.

On the plus side
Markov, Diaz, Bourque, Chuck and Diaz have looked good or better than average if you prefer..

 

[hockeyfan2k11]

I won't complain for the first little while. This is pretty much a preseason game.

 

[JustAHabFan]

The Leafgasm on CBC is sickening...

The way they are playing, they are not going to make the playoff anyway.

 

[HuGo Sham]

I almost threw up watching Pacioretty tonight.

awful timing - understandable...and slow...he led a 3-2 late 2nd and completely ****ed it...should've passed to DD and didn't and then coughed it up at red line

 

[Church]

Chucky showed great flashes. Wow, only 18. What poise for his first pro game.

Yeah, he did good. Can't wait for next game.

[deandebean]

Worse than last year's worst game.

Can't believe I waited 8 months for that ****.

leafs looked like they actually had a training camp.

Not in the 3rd. They couldn't touch the puck if their lives depended on it. We just didn't have any coordination. Normal.

 

[Whitesnake]

The best news of this game?

Bourque and Markov? Great to see those guys tonight. Aside from that....was fun seeing Jean Béliveau.

 

[Mathradio]

Come on, Subban, sign already!

 

[Montreal Impact FC]

We are lacking a top 6 quality top 6 forward and subban to even dream of playoffs.

 

[ottawa]

Ok, I know this is a little premature but its time to trade Armstrong and bouillion before their stock goes into the negative

 

[bib]

I liked Eller out there tonight. He looks more poised with the puck this year.

This team has great depth.

 

[deandebean]

The Good
Markov
Plekanec

Emelin
Prust
Kaberle

Bourque

The Bad
Gionta

The Ugly

The Fugly
Bouillon

Don't agree about Chucky, AT ALL. Eller was PUTRID until the last 2 shifts of the game. Was a non-factor through 2 periods. I liked Prust a lot.

 

[Laurent]

Habs suck! GO LEAFS!!

Can't say the first part isn't true, but you also forgot to mention that your team sucks as well.

We were horrible tonight. Everything seemed sloppy, yet the Leafs beat us 2-1 thanks to 2 PPG Goals. For sure is nothing to be proud of, but nothing to bash our heads on. I mean, I've seen worse performances by this team last year. Can't get any worse.

On ira pas loin, on se ramassera avec Drouin

 

[Alexdaman]

The NHL right now is not at NHL level.

 

[jedimyrmidon]

Team definitely needs to get their legs under them.

Yes, it wasn't a pretty game, but they definitely need some time and even though in 48 games that isn't ideal, that's what it's going to take.

Again, I think that once they get their legs (especially the top line), things will go a lot smoother.

 

[donghabs98]

We played pretty well at times. At other times we looked like a bunch of guys who haven't played in over 8 months

 

[zx81]

Well that was ugly.
Some players were so rusty that they were losing parts on the ice.

I think Cole played like a retired player ;P

 

[No More Subban]

Jagr has two goals tonight so far. Still sour Habs weren't interested.

Boring game.

I wanted the guy so bad in a habs jersey. 1 yr deal isnt going to hurt. too late

 

[HuGo Sham]

anyone watch philly/pitt and boston/NYR today?
i like the bottom 6 grit but DD, plekanecs and our ENTIRE d corps is going to get run out of those buildings.

 

[deandebean]

Pre-season with intensity. That's what it looked like.

 

[OneSharpMarble]

Awful.. yet still better than the second line. That's even more disgusting.

We had four good players + Price. Four.

Markov, Diaz, Prusty, and Bourque.

White was okay. Kaberle was okay, but needs to keep the damn puck in.

Plekanec, Gionta, Desharnais, Pacioretty, and Cole were not good. Cole was the worst of the bunch. He was horrible.

Bouillon and Gorges were both absolute jokes on defense.

Therrien may have coached worse than Cunneyworth too.

Yuck, yuck, yuck.

Diaz was overused, he isn't good enough to get that much TOI and Kaberle did let a couple puck go by because they were 1 ft in the air and fired at him. I know which one you are talking about.

Bourque needs to go back to his natural right wing position.

 

[Lshap]

Good luck the rest of the year guys. Good game!

Thanks! A rusty start for both our teams -- Leafs in the 3rd, Habs in the first half -- but we're both building. Congrats on the win.
