Is it Mik-EH-ev or Mik-EYE-ev?
The K is silent, I forget which other poster pointed this out.
Me - hey - hev
Is it Mik-EH-ev or Mik-EYE-ev?
Agreed. We say this every October too. Loose hockey to start, for everyone.Leafs will have to tighten up defensively.
they will. it was only opening night. Andersen not being the worst player on the ice would help, but I'm sure he'll settle inLeafs will have to tighten up defensively.
Muzzin had a great game!!Nice win. Team defense still seems a little shoddy. Matthews with another signature season opener.
Barrie's puck handling is great. We'll probably see it backfire sometimes, but the tradeoff is worth it.
Muzzin looked pretty good at times too.
Mikheyev is going to be on JT's wing if Kapanen has more games like this.
Not gonna rip into Fred, it's his birthday. Didn't like the last goal. That's that.
haha with that duster he has got its getting really close to him becoming the Ron lol.Dang....Matty's got a huge forehead. Looks like Ron Jeremy. Lol
We have to patient at this point in the season. There's alot of new players familiarizing themselves with linemates and partners. Before we criticize we should keep that in mind. Having said that, I thought we looked shaky in our zone at times. Kapanen does not look comfortable on that wing. I thought Ceci had a tough game. On the positive, Matthews looks like he's going to have a great year. Mikhayev and Moore showed us what bottom 6 players should do. Sandin is going to be top 4 before long. Barrie looks like a keeper. All in all I'm pleased with this effort. At times they dominated looking like men playing against boys.
Spot on!!Couple of Notes:
- Matthews is an amazing talent man. If he does this over the full season he wins the rocket
- Barrie had an incredible debut. Created lots of chances and finally gives us an rhd who can make a strong first pass. Him and Muzzin are a nice pair
- Is it just me or did Sandin not look like a rookie? If you told me that was some 27 year old top 4 d-man who's been playing for 5-6 years I would've believed you. Incredible poise and smarts
- Freddy was a little shaky but also had some key saves when it was 1-0
-Tavares line wasn't that great, Kappy doesn't work well with them imo. When Hymans back it should improve things
- Kerfoot didn't look that good to me, hopefully that changes
-Mikheyev had a solid debut. Really smart player, especially defensively.
Overall a great game after that slow start. Let's keep this going!
I think he will be better than Kabby cuz he actually hitsSandin actually takes great angles on players and isnt afraid to take the body.
Dubas hit a absolute homerun with this pick at the end of the first round.
Said it a few times but the way he slows the game down reminds me alot of Kaberle.
Moore and Mikheyev looked really good on the third line...and they both looked steady on the PK. We need to find some players for PK this year, these two could be key contributors.
How long till Mikheyev replaces Kapanen/Johnsson?
His lack of vision is death sometimes. Two or three times tonight he didn’t see obviously pass reads, real liability that way.Agreed 100% about Kappy, that dude cannot play LW - like at all.
I'm fully in favor of giving Mikheyev or Moore a shot on the JT line.
