And celebrate the first victory of the glorious !
Bernier was not too strong tonight ! Wrist shot from Pac , great goals from Plecky who is now surrounded whit young energy players . When you leave pk alone in between the two circles is going to hurt you. Worst player for the leaf Phaneuf .... Always behind the game !
Markov what a vision of the game is master chess player on the ice ! So the 3 "A" out of 4 scored tonight !

Montreal Canadiens are Canada’s team

The Toronto Maple Leafs were recently named the worst pro sports franchise in North America by ESPN.

And now, with the team set to take the ice for a new season, here’s another hit to Leafs Nation: the Maple Leafs are not Canada’s team.

Thanks for the link to that very informative article GHG. Loved the cartoon also:thumb:

I wonder if Doug Maclean on Sportsnet is a Leaf hater. He pointed out 6 missed checks on the Subban goal and described their defence as "pathetic". In addition, he opined that one of he Leafs' goal shouldn't have counted as an offside about 30 seconds before the goal wasn't called as the linesman's view was blocked.

Worst was Bernier (for once) Phanuef was fine, he got caught by A bad turnover at the blue line by a teammate and nobody could recover from that..... all in all it was a well played game for #1.... 81 to go!

Great game last night, always fun to watch Montreal and Toronto play.

Not at all - he is just providing honest, objective and accurate commentary.

great goals from Plecky who is now surrounded whit young energy players .

And now 3 in 2 games!

Meanwhile in Detroit, Goose has started off with one goal in one game. Let's hope that the hottest goal scorer in the NHL for a large stretch late last season has a full season of it this year. Go Goose Go!

Congratulations to Mason Raymond on scoring a hat trick with his NEW team. (Shades of Grabo, McArthur, the Monster, etc....)

Unfortunately where I live I get the Bruins on NESN and the Rangers on MSG network but basically the other games I do not see. Toronto vs. Montreal not even televised here unless you have some premium cable package or go to a sports bar and ask them to put the game on, but if the Bruins and/or Rangers are playing the fans will say "fuck that!" because neither team means anything. In fact most fans here would rather see the Flyers lose than Montreal or Toronto win.

However I am following the Habs as I will soon be attending a game in Montreal. I heard Sekac has looked tentative. Has Plekanec taken him under his wing and told him to settle down?

Not sure what you guys are fighting about, I have to cheer for the fucking Oilers again. Disgusting game against Calgary last night, poor coaching and poor management.

 

[smuler]

It was great to see the 84 team Sol

Coffey still looks like he can lace em up

Best Regards

YAWOZA!!!!, What a nice comeback by my Habs tonight, down 3-0 in the third to comeback and win it, who is all going to the parade on Saint Catharine in June?(My prediction).

 

[marc7]

Character ! They will win ! These habs with 4A's will rock you! It reminds me of the Brun of the last season who scored most of theirs goals in the third period ! Tinordi did a great job today , Plecki becoming the great player that he is with the help of Galchenyuk ... So Gio is not that missed . P.A played a great game , until now he works well with any trio ! Also Bourque and Eller even if they don't score they always have a great chances !

 

[joelcairo]

Who is all going to the parade on Saint Catharine in June?(My prediction).

Maybe the Leafs will all attend. By the time the parade occurs the Leafs will be bored with all the golf they played between the end of the regular season and the crowning of the 2015 Cup winners.

Strength down the middle is a great thing to have. MB bringing in Malhotra was a good move -frees up Plekanec to assume a more offensive role (especially with better linemates like Galchenyuk on his wing)

You might wanna wait a few more games before you head over to St. Caths my friend.

Stamkos 12 shots on goal! The guy is in a league of his own.

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far, first overall in the entire NHL, not a bad start.
