Leafs are just trying to keep the game interesting.

Just tuned in bout 10 mins ago.

42 shots through 2?

Sounds like Careys being Carey.

Which the Canadians are really going to need this year.

Bad penalty when they just gained the lead and all the momentum.

Crap. Now another penalty.

Shaw, Gallagher and Domi, 3 (frank)ers I especially don’t want scoring on the leafs. And everything unravels in the last 20 seconds of the period bleh.

I'm obviously not a diehard Leafer, but it feels like this has been a ~4-1 Leafs game thus far. Why is it a tied game after 2?

Habs can do pretty mch whatever they want now.

#1 rule of NHL refereeing, always make the powerplays balance as closely as possible. It happens to every team.

Habs outplaying leafs for the most part.
Price playing well.

In some respect it seems that way. On the other hand, a team destined for the lottery has had the Leafs running around in their own zone a number of times.

We didnt show up the first 10 min of the 1st period, and Montreal is just using speed and naximum effort. And we still havent figured out how not to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Yeah, I would give the Habs the edge also. They are simply outskating and outworking them.

One of those games imo leafs will win on talent even though they were outworked a lot in the game.

Leafs get 2 pts, but it will be a bit of learning curve/ first game of the year. Everyone has the jitters, just can’t go 1-6 like the oilers last year, or whatever they started out at.

Im not so sure the Hbas are a lottery team

That Kotkaniemi kid looks really good.. Price is still a GOAT.. If they're in the mix when Weber comes back they could make a playoffs push..

I think they’ll be decent this year. Tough division unless one of the top teams falter. Probably finish outside the playoffs but within striking distance.[/img]

Babcock is going to want to force a win and not go into OT, so prepare for:

Matthews - Tavares - Marner
Marleau - Kadri - Kapanen

double shifts

I like the direction with the young kids and the speed, but I don't think they have the horses to contend.

It’s babs, so he’ll most likely double shift the 4th line
