GDT: Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Montreal Canadiens 10/29/16 7:00pm EST CBC (HD), TVA, TSN 690

[Jaynki]

Pleasantly surprised by Philip Danault.

 

[Tyson]

every presence by this 4th line has been so solid

They can all skate

 

[TRG]

More likely that MT changed it, trying to make him a better player.

Yes, MT, the omniscient, omnipotent coach, made him shoot wide every time.

 

[Hope Of Glory]

Danault is a good player

The kind of 4th liner you need to win the cup, since he's almost a 3rd liner already. Really like his game.

 

[Cole Caulifield]

it's almost like PK had a great 6-year career with the Habs before everyone played like complete dog **** last year

Do you remember Subban's windup issues from his sophomore season ?

Subban's shot and accuracy is a recurring theme. At any rate, he's nowhere near Weber in that department.

 

[sheed36]

Yeah and we played better this period than the others. Go figure.

Galchenyuk should have more ice time that DD every damn game. DD hasn't been good this game and even MT can see it with the reduced ice time in the 3rd. I guess da coach isn't totally incompetent.

 

[Sterling Archer]

Lines should be:

Pacioretty - Plekanec - Gallagher
Lekhonen - Galchenyuk - Radulov
Flynn - Desharnais - Shaw
Byron - Danault - Mitchell

Yes!

DD should never see a top 6 role of PP unless there's an injury.

All the opposition players do when he has the puck is skate up to him and take it away as he falls down. Holy sweet baby Jesus he's terrible against top 6 competition. Therrien, WAKE UUUUUUUUUPPPPP!!!

 

[jaffy27]

Yeah and we played better this period than the others. Go figure.

I love how you pin this on one player....

Good god, what's this world coming too

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Pleasantly surprised by Philip Danault.

He's great, he and Mitchell are real luxury 4th liners

 

[Chez Weber]

Lehkonen with the great plays along the boards

 

[Galchenioretty]

PK had a good shot, took him forever to get it off but he's not in Weber's class in velocity or ability to get it off quickly at that velocity.

 

[Natey]

Flynn isn't even a bad 4th liner.. He just looks bad beside Danault and Mitchell since they're elite 4th liners.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

More likely that MT changed it, trying to make him a better player.

lol, no coach would tell a player not to shoot when they had an open lane. PK routinely had open lanes and passed up on shooting.

 

[BatVader]

Yes, MT, the omniscient, omnipotent coach, made him shoot wide every time.

That's just stupid.
Wow
Obviously, anyone with basic reasoning skills and half a brain would realize I was referring to shooting less, but sure take the moronic route.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

maybe, but ppl are greatly exaggerating, IMO. and yet no one seems to notice when Weber misses the net. which he does too, of course.

[Kenny Powders]

Petry is a beaut

 

[Cole Caulifield]

Pleasantly surprised by Philip Danault.

Continuation from last year IMO.. he did improve but he was good last year too.

 

[jaffy27]

Pleasantly surprised by Philip Danault.

Great aquisition by Bergevin for a pending UFA and a PTO player

 

[Tyson]

Petry is solid

 

[Hope Of Glory]

I love how you pin this on one player....

Good god, what's this world coming too

That's not just his fault, obviously. The lines are just more balanced and make more sense when he's playing less. And that showed.

People's criticism of his ice time after 2 periods weren't unfounded like the other guy was implying.

 

[Tyson]

Great aquisition by Bergevin for a pending UFA and a PTO player

And a 2nd rounder

 

[Shaby23]

Nylander > Matthews

 

[Natey]

That's just stupid.

Damn. Nashville's coach is even worse since PK is on pace for less shots that last year.

 

[sheed36]

Habs need to be extra careful. Refs just looking to call a Habs penalty late like usual.

 

[Jee]

Danault is very good
