TurdBurglar Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 It’ll be good seeing the new look forwards, I don’t care for the look of the defence. The Romanov - Wideman pairing scares me a lot. I fully anticipate a beat down as Toronto will have something to prove from last playoffs, not that it matters this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if the Leafs beat the Canadiens tonight, the NHL will rewrite last years playoffs so Toronto made it to the finals, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyhasbeen Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Here we go! Let's take it to the leafs like it was an elimination game! Spank them hard and give their fans a reason to start the panic early. We all know if they win the leafs parade route will be planned..... Again.

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 I see the coaching staff really is hoping Savard replaces Weber and plans to play 4 D all night long, just like in the playoffs. This does not seem sustainable to me over 82 games. So hopefully I am either wrong about how tonight’s minutes will fall, or else Romanov and Wideman manage to gradually claw their way into the coaches’ trust.

Chiarot-Savard is a ridiculous pairing on paper... Chiarot is the puck mover here? Our D looks shakier than ever without Edmondson and Weber. We need Romanov to take a big step forward.

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Boy do the leafs look rather ordinary with matthews out of the line up. Am I the only one who thinks they continue to get weaker yearly and have basically done away with all that depth they built up from missing 14 of 15 playoff seasons. With Reilly now set to leave in the summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Reilly leaves they're in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no way DD doesn’t give all 3 pairs a regular shift. Win or lose you can roll 82 games on 4 defenseman. You can’t burn out your top 4 early in the season. 1 hour ago, IN THE HEARTS OF MEN said: Boy do the leafs look rather ordinary with matthews out of the line up.

habscout Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Great start for the Dvorak line on the first shift!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Boagalott Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 That was an interesting start of the game - no doubt. Too bad Anderson missed. Savard came close too. Hopefully, this level of play isnt a honeymoon effect of the season starting and they can keep this up and not just for this game but all season.

GHT120 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 If I was a betting man I might have picked Chiarot to get the Habs' first penalty ... but would have expected it to be cross-checking ... go PK go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's accurate, but also very true for nearly every NHL team. Let's see what happens when the Leafs finally get a penalty or more called against them.

Sir_Boagalott Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Wow, great job by Allen to keep the puck from crossing the goal line during that in the crease skirmish. Other than his arms and head Allen was completely in the net. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
