Never thought a habs fan would start this but here goes. Nice win for the leafs as they keep their first place position as they have all year.
I'll take any win on the road, but the Leafs seemed lacking in energy in the third period. Glad they held on.
This is really just a pre-season game. We saw a lot of blowouts yesterday. It'll take a couple of weeks for everybody to get back to playing form. Price kept it closer than it should have been.
The Leafs outplayed Buffalo, but lost to a hot goalie...
Im worried about tonites game v Pittsburg....the Leafs just dont havethe talent to match the Penguins....hopefully coach Carlyle has a good gameplan in place. (plus Scrivens will have to stand on his head.)
Remember when the Pens were good?
Remember when the Isles were bad?
oooooo.....took another one in the shorts by a new york team.
Dat Matty Frattin playing solid hockey right now.
grey cup is gonna be at the leafs game tomorrow night
awesome. about time.
Man did the hags ever crap the bed tonight. good one leafs.
I definitely agreed with Don Cherry today. It baffles me why alleged fans pay hundreds of dollars to go to a game just to boo them or chant "Lets Go Blue Jays".
Last night some were chanting 'Let's go expos'.
I rarely agree with Cherry, but I did this time. If I owned the Leafs, I would close those stupid Platinum club lounges during games. Open them 2 hours before and for an hour or so after, but close them during the game. It is a disgrace to see so many of the lower bowl seats empty for the first half of every period.
so grabowski is at a hearing this morning over the 'biting' incident. seems like if someone is going to shove a hand in your face and say you can't breathe what else are you going to do?
that's the way i saw it.
Grabowski was let go without any reprimand. The next rematch should be a blast.
I must say that NHL games are so freaking painful to watch. I presently have the 1-0 Toronto/Ottawa thriller on. The league needs to do something to bring excitement to the game once again but I am not holding my breath. And to think that there used to be complaints back in the 1980s about there being too much scoring. I will take that brand of hockey any day over the product that the NHL now provides.
Nice 3-0 shutout win over the hens
Spending the night in Brampton. Women's hockey team Brampton thunder with a weekend set against montreal
The Leaf goaltenders have been playing well up until this point. The Leafs could stand to cut down on their shots against though as it is one of the highest in the league. I know that with shots on goal it is the quality not the quantity, however I'm concerned with the relative inexperience of both Scrivens and Reimer that it would become an issue later in the season.
another win tonight gives them a 7-2 road start. their best since 1940.
This Leaf team has bought into Coach Carlisle's plan....
Much like when Pat Quinn coached...run and gun offensively...and keep the shot's on goal to the outside, LOW percentage chances...
(so the amount of shots is mute)
This is a fun, but disciplined group, IF Burke would have hired Carlisle at the begining of last season, instead of letting Wilson have another shot...Burke would still be the GM.....
Randy is Dandy...with the team Brian built...
oopsie. dropped one. habs are the hot team now heading into next wednesday at the ACC.
Losing to the hens tonight. oh the shame....
After a nice win over Philly the walls come crashing down against the hags.
How about Kadri!!
Despite his efforts, we got lucky the game went to overtime. So much sloppy play in our end during the third.
Riemer did look abit rusty, but he will be fine...im liking the goaltending combo...(Like Doug Favell, and Dunc Wilson..haha)
The after game TSN interview with Riemer was pretty funny...he was asked about Kadri's hat trick, and Riemer made a comment that he was "surprised cause Kadri's not that good" then you could hear Kadri laughing in the background.
This team is going to make the playoff's, and will be very fun to watch.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a first Habs-Leafs series since 1979. They've come close a few times but never connected.
Yeah, in 2002 they would have met in the Conference Finals, but the Hurricanes beat the Canadiens in the 2nd round before beating the Maple Leafs in the conference finals (a defeat that still irks me)
Of course, in 1992-1993 the Leafs would have wiped the floor (so goes the theory) with the Habs in the Stanley Cup Final if Kerry Fraser had called the high-stick on Mr. Gretzky.
seems like there was another year we came close. hmmmm..........
What about Bester and Wregget. I think those two suffered more from the horrible teams in front of them than anything.
For actual good goaltender duos, that Sawchuk-Bower tandem was pretty good.
Bester, Wregget and Jeff Reese were all Leaf draft picks from the 1980s who had to face a lot of rubber. Reese is a goalie coach somewhere in the NHL today.
As for good tandems, Jacques Plante/Bernie Parent was a pretty good one at the beginning of the 1970s. I do remember Wayne Thomas/Mike Palmateer being pretty decent in 1976-77 before Palmateer took over as the #1 goalie the next season. Over the years, it seems as though the Leafs have more often than not hitched their wagon to one goalie or another rather than playing two guys fairly equally.
