Mornin'

Pipin' hot gravy takes:

- Matthews needs to shoot more.

- Muzzin's so good in his own end; he can just absorb hits and calmly one-hand it up to the waiting winger; saw him do that a few times.

- Marner did not have a good game outside of the winner.

- Hainsey looks really good on the 3rd pairing.

- Zaitsev had a good game, besides that backhand over the glass; nice to see him shoot more, get engaged offensively.

- The 4th line with Johnsson (and Hyman for a few shifts too) was really good. As much as Johnsson needs more ice-time, having him as a sneaky threat on the 4th line is ok too.

I love how people are mad at Babs for the pp.

It’s Jim Hiller.

Those two people that stand beside Babs? Yeah they aren’t just there to look pretty

They have lots of time.

The TDL could mean another new addition.

I think gauthier had one of those nights in Montreal that players from Toronto usually have playing against the leafs in Toronto. Last night Gauthier actually looked like a former first round pick lol.

Who knows. Babs didn’t seem too happy with him...

But at the same time it should be working. It worked very well at the start of the year.

And JVR-Bozak-Marner were dominant with the same setup...yes and teams knew what was coming...every PK knows what’s coming every PP setup is the same each time.

But sometimes he doesn't make the wisest moves, why does he play the 4th line with 3 minutes left in the period? Like the other 3 lines are about to get an 18 minute break, does he think they're gonna get tired?

Last year they had the same setup but had more than one play. This year the only thing they do is cross seam pass, even when it's taken away. They're forcing plays that aren't there. They need another play so that if #1is taken away #2 is available.

They are even getting eaten up on the drop pass because everyone knows it's coming. Habs intercepted or broke up the pp drop pass every single time last night.

Too predictable.

Really nice emotional moment with his dad. Thinking of all the hard work it took to get there.

The good news is we have recently gone into Tampa and Montreal and won games.
I think we have 9 of 10 possible points since Muzzin arrived.
The bad news is the Matthews line was crap all night, they are going to have to switch out Marleau for Johnsson and I don't care how great a career Marleau has had he is just not a first line guy any more.
